Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar on Tuesday informed that In order to reduce the overhead transmission power lines and electrical poles in the city, all the 11KV lines will be laid underground in 3-4 years.

Addressing presspersons with this regard he said that this project will be implemented soon and as a part of the first step, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will spend over Rs. 1870 crore to implement the plan and it will continue for the next three years.

He further added, “Be it drainage, electricity, water-logging or other issues, I have looked into all the matters related to the city during monsoon season. I have also reviewed the preparedness by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), BESCOM and all concerned people including traffic police. Instructions were given to them so that the Bangalore city is maintained well.”

Responding to Congress leader KN Rajanna’s recent statement claiming that the coalition government in Karnataka will collapse after June 10, he said that he is not bothered by such comments because the people have given the mandate.

“Such statements and observations are very common when we run a government,” he added.
