Many residents of Shivamogga took the officers of Shivamogga Smart City Limited to task on Tuesday, citing substandard works executed in the city. The officers had a tough time convincing the residents with their responses.
This was the scene at the public grievance redressal meeting convened by Shivamogga Smart City Limited at Kuvempu Ranga Mandira. The residents of Basavanagudi and Ravindra Nagar alleged that the underground drainage work done in their localities had ruined their lives. During the rainy season, the filthy water floods into their houses, making their lives miserable.
“We have been staying put in Basavanagudi for the last 50 years. Until the smart city projects, we did not have this problem. The smart city project has hit us hard”, said Rekha, a resident.
