Are public roads for public use??



Sir,

I came across the attached map of wardworks in ward 76. From it I found out that behind Devatha Plaza (Residency Road) and in front of the LIC officers quarters off Hayes Road, a road has been marked with a blue line indicating that it comes under the maintenance contract which has been assigned by the BMP to a contractor.

But if your reporters were to visit the area, they would be stunned to realise that a barrier has been setup at both ends of that road, and it is like a private parking area with no throughfare allowed!! Does the BMP now maintain private areas using public money or can any private party cordon off public space and utilise it for private purposes?? So can we block any road we want to and utilise it as a private space?

Yours sincerely,
Sunil Pichamuthu
