Pending bills in the city’s civic body has mounted to a whopping ₹6,077.7 crore, perhaps the highest ever for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
Bills have been pending from April 2021. This, even as most of the contractors in the city have stopped work over non-payment of pending bills, bringing all works in the city to almost a standstill.
The mounting of bills to unprecedented levels in the civic body, has set alarm bells ringing.
