The spate of heavy rains is proving to be a problem for owners who were allotted sites at Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout. Incomplete drainage and bridge work by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has resulted in inundation. Rain water from stormwater drains is overflowing from these drains creating trenches in the sites, said owners who blamed the BDA for failing to complete ongoing works as planned.
Surya Kiran A. S., joint secretary of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout Open Forum, said that due to land acquisition issues the BDA could not complete the work in time. “The BDA could not construct 36 minor bridges, SWD, drain networks linking lakes and others. There is no proper channel available for rainwater to flow. As a result, soil erosion is common on sites allocated to the general public. In future, when site owners construct houses, they will face a lot of problems due to the uneven ground level,” he said.
