“Bengaluru did not systematically grow after Kepegowda,” said Deputy Minister of DK Shivakumar on Monday, stressing that the city’s professional planners need to control the growth of the city.
During the 58th of the engineers and the 165th anniversary of the birth of M. Visvesvaraya announced that the government is considering establishing a new university in Bengalur, which would address the lack of specialists.
Shivakumar, who spoke at an event organized by the institution of engineers (India), said engineers are central for the development of the city. “Today, officials from other utilities are entrusted with the Department of Spatial Planning. We need experts to give the city a systematic form,” he said.
The main minister’s representative emphasized the massive city pressure of Bengaluru and noted that 1.4 crore lives in the city, while 70 lakh commutes in and out daily. “Bengalur must last. As a solution, I started the tunnel road projects. They are criticized as an exercise to make money, but I continued at work,” said Mr. Shivakumar. He also mentioned that there was pressure to indicate the business corridor of Bengalur, but resisted. “Now we are building a 100 km long road within this project,” he said.
Shivakumar, who called the engineers of the nation’s builders, pointed out that Karnataka has about 300 utilities every year, producing almost one lakh engineers, many of whom serve abroad.
During the event he also remembered interaction during the visit of the Polish Prime Minister in Bengalur. “Later I sent the team to Silicon Valley. Of the five people they met there, there were three Indians and two came from Bengalur. This pride brought direct trade.
GBA recognizes posts 13 engineers
The main commissioner G received a total of 13 engineers.
Commissioner GBA said that if engineers work carefully and sincerely, public recognition will follow automatically. “The engineers must remain concentrated and must not be distracted by criticism. Even under pressure, engineers do praisely,” said Mr. Rao, who solemnly organized the celebrations of engineers organized by the Association of Social Care for Officers and Employees.
During the event, another main secretary of the government, N. Manjunath Prasad, shared his experience and remembered a significant flood incident in Bommanahali in 2016, when the area was flooded with waste water. “Engineers worked tirelessly at night and solved the problem in the morning,” he said. Mr. Prasad also emphasized the life and inheritance of Sir M. Visvesvaraya and noticed his roles in education, although he lost his father at the age of 13 and his emphasis on collective discussion and consultation before politicians. Mr. Prasad further noted that while the city council merged, the increase in income did not delay the pace.
