The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will only be commencing white-topping works in the Central Business District (CBD) areas, including the busy M.G. Road, after April 26, the first phase of voting in the state.
BBMP Chief Engineer B.S. Prahlad said the civic body is planning to initiate the works on the project after April 26. “We have received the necessary nod from the government, but the full fledged work will start only after April 26,” he said.
The government has allocated about ₹1,200 crore for the project to improve the quality of the road. However, when the allocation was made, many citizens opposed the project terming it a waste of funds in an already developed area.
