Trees pay for free parking
Sir,BMP now requires new avenues to acquire revenue, after free parking has been introduced.. They probably hope to gain money through auctioning trees cut.
To pay for this avenues of strong trees in Bangalore have to face the civic body's uncivil axe..
Can they instead widen pavements instead of roads?
Near Residency Road where they had started chopping trees.. Lavelle Road doesn't have any pavement.. Hayes Road's pavement is too narrow to support a huge amount of pedestrian activity.. apart from low wires strung above the narow pavement from electric poles threatening to electrocute all those above a certain height( approx 5ft.)
On Richmond Road.. the pavement is in a sorry state, with broken paving slabs and huge gaps above stormwater drains/drainage waiting to participate in population control..
On Hayes Road, cambering has been done so that rain water is diverted onto De Souza Road while the shoulder drain on Hayes Road has been sealed off!!
I hope your newspaper can publicize these discrepancies of the BMP.
Yours sincerely,
Sunil Pichamuthu,
