Recently, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) carried out essential works on Basapura Main Road near Hosa Road to address issues related to the Kaveri water supply. This included replacing broken pipes, cleaning and sanitizing the unbroken ones, filling up gaps, and restoring the road that was dug up for the repair work. As per the officially notified tender for the project, it was mandated that the road must be restored to its original condition after the works were completed.

Unfortunately, a few supporters of a political leader have put up banners and flex boards claiming that the new road paving was sanctioned due to their leader’s efforts. This is completely misleading. The road restoration was not a separate project initiated by any individual but a mandatory part of the BWSSB tender process.

We urge residents not to get carried away by such false propaganda. Whenever infrastructure works involve digging of roads—whether for water pipes, drainage, or electricity—*the tender itself includes a provision* for restoring the roads to their original condition. This is a standard practice and not a favor done by any political leader.

It is important for the public to stay informed and recognize the role of civic bodies like BWSSB in ensuring infrastructure works are completed efficiently. Let us work together to prevent misinformation and hold all stakeholders accountable. Always verify the facts before giving credit or being misled by such claims.
