Former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai accused the BBMP officials of their negligence in taking up precautionary measures despite the warning by the Meteorological Department about heavy rains.
It was painful that the life of a woman was snuffed out in rains that lashed only for a few hours in the State capital on Sunday.
Talking to reporters here on Monday,he said this incident took place only due to the negligence of the BBMP officials.
Soon after the incident,the civic body officials never went to the rescue of the affected people.We have formed SDRF teams in Bengaluru but that needs to be launched and given more work.
The Meteorological department has predicted heavy rains in the next five days.Required precautions must be taken on war footing as several trees have fallen across the city.Those trees have not been cleared yet.
If allowed as it remains,there will be chaos in Bengaluru.Chief Minister Siddaramaiah must take immediate steps in this direction.
In BBMP,some officials work continuously and many don’t work at all.Proper planning must be done in advance”.
