@SrinagarSubbu @SuryakiranAS @BDAOfficialGok @hrsrajanna @ashwinmahesh Let’s be right on facts. Court monitoring is only for land acquisition. Not for the design. NPKL was designed in 2014. That time the design didn’t give footpath to roads less than 18 mtr width. DSKL was designed in 2022. Footpaths were introduced for even 12 & 9 mtr roads.

@DKShivakumar @mlanaharis @Captain_Mani72 @BDAOfficialGok @hrsrajanna @STSomashekarMLA @nimmasuresh In 50 years, BDA layouts have declined from well-planned communities to haphazard, design-flawed developments. #NPKL was projected as a “Smart City”, based on a 2014 scheme plan, yet ~2,800 acres were implemented without prior TPM approval, violating the scheme itself. Land acquisition began in 2010 — even after 16 years, ~1,200 acres remain pending.Basic amenities are only ~78% complete, even in the 9th year after allotment. • Earlier layouts followed parallel & perpendicular road grids; now the layout is force-fit into available land, creating irregular road patterns. • 100/80-ft roads do not connect sectors or blocks; most areas depend on 60/50/40/30-ft roads. • Earlier layouts had large, usable parks; now parks are largely shown in SWD & HT-line buffers for ratio compliance, not public use. • Playgrounds are being discussed after 2,800 acres of work is complete. • CA planning is fragmented and disordered. • Footpaths were never designed. Many more design flaws and quality concerns remain unaddressed.

@Captain_Mani72 Sir, 1. Although three separate tenders were awarded for Blocks 5, 6 & 7, a single contractor executed asphalting across all three blocks. The same contractor is now executing works in Blocks 1, 2, 3 & 4. 2. Asphalting quality concerns have been repeatedly raised for over 2.5 years, yet there has been no visible improvement. 3. We highlighted in multiple meetings, Road surface, manholes, and utility channels are planned to be at the same leve However, post road finishing, this is not being followed across the layout. This raises concern, engineering team inspect work done by contractors or not. 4. Even for Blocks 5, 6 & 7, where checks were reportedly done earlier, the NPKL division has not shared the quality reports, even under RTI. RTI officials indicated only an overall comment could be shared, but no report has been provided till date. Request a serious review of soil stabilization and asphalting quality in Blocks 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9, and also in Blocks 1, 2, 3 & 4, where asphalting resumed after the rainy season. Kindly ensure evaluation against tender-specified quality norms and take immediate corrective action. @MLana @nimmasuresh @STSomashekarMLA @BDAOfficialGok

@mlanaharis @Captain_Mani72 @hrsrajanna Happy to share a footpath drawing for 9-m road in sync with IRC / MoHUA / complete streets standards. We can have footpaths on both sides with inter locking precast/removable slabs or with Kabul stones while still providing access to utility channels for maintenance. We are sure the engineers at BDA can improvise on this or plan an entirely new design. Request you to examine. @DKShivakumar @ShobhaBJP @nimmasuresh @STSomashekarMLA @CNASHOKA1 @BDAOfficialGok @Deepaprabha_KAS @TVMohandasPai @lkatheeq @MoHUA_India @iiscbangalore
