Palike admits to delay in completion of the work

A grant of Rs 192 crore provided to the City under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) for remodelling primary and secondary Storm Water Drains (SWDs) across four valleys —Vrishabhavathi, Challaghatta, Hebbal and Koramanagala — seems to have literally gone down the drain.
According to Bruhat Bengalurur Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials, a fresh proposal to remodel the drains in the 800 sq km area under the Palike will replace the JnNURM scheme meant initially to cover 257 km of storm water drains in the four valleys.
