MLA for Vijayanagar M. Krishnappa on Saturday directed the Bengaluru West Corporation to take strict action against fake property accounts created on government land in the Vijayanagar Assembly constituency.
Addressing the review meeting, Mr. Krishnappa urged the administration to respond quickly to citizens’ concerns and curb the growing menace of toll booth agents. He directed officials to identify fake khats and take firm action against those responsible.
West Corporation Commissioner Rajendra KV said the review of property taxes must be expedited and warned that inspectors and collectors who fail to fulfill their duties will face disciplinary action.
Officials were also told to take strict enforcement measures against unauthorized accommodation of paying guests and coordinate with the police whenever necessary. After surveying accident-prone spots in the constituency, constables have been instructed to install rumble belts at places where repeated accidents are reported.
Bescom and Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) have been asked to seek prior permission and share work plans with the company’s engineering division before starting any road cutting work.
The commissioner said that the CCTV cameras installed earlier by the corporation must be updated and their live feed should be shared with the local police stations. Increased checks on unauthorized business licenses and illegal medical facilities were also ordered.
Mr. Rajendra further instructed that all unauthorized flexes and banners should be removed immediately and said that a beautification drive of the city would begin after December 15.
While reviewing the infrastructure projects, the commissioner observed that improvement work in Hosahalli was progressing slowly and directed the officials to speed up the work.
