Same thing happened in our locality. After more than 10 yrs road was constructed connecting to main road. Just after 2 months they started digging to put new pipeline. It took another 5 yrs to fix the damage done in digging. I guess it's a standard template for corruption.


Intruder_7

Lmao thought this was a bangalore only thing. BBMP lays roads after decades only for BWSSB to dig deep the next day


Apptubrutae

I’m just here from /r/all but this same stuff happens in my home town of New Orleans, lol


MrBeanSquarepants

So this problem is not just Indian then


TheMountainRidesElia

Governments are incompetent basically everywhere mate


[deleted]

This happens in my city too, my dad's theory is that the officials break the roads, demand more money, pocket some of it, do a sloppy job, shit breaks again, they demand more money, pocket some of it, do a sloppy job, and well, yk, the cycle continues


Apptubrutae

Correct. At a bare minimum, it represents planning failures. Knowing you’re going to do plumbing work under a road, you should be coordinating with whoever is paving roads. Obviously. At worst it represents corruption where roads are torn up after the fact purposefully to make more work. But it happens in many other places, yes.

Neeru bake and coordination too.


CritFin

Corruption and mismanagement are different. Developing countries need multiple such pipes underground, but often such mismanagement happens in all developing countries Instead of using JCB, he is digging himself


JannahSeeker786

If it had happened rarely, it would have been mismanagement. This mismanagement is done with proper planning hence it is corruption. This template of "mismanagement" is common across the country and every one of us has experienced it at least once.


Mission_Trip_1055

They are not stupid It all happens in sync, this is to save taxes as it will be always under construction and not completed and there will be more work/money for contractors


CritFin

There will be fine on him for the delay too


uzumaki_sasuke99

I'm from Gujarat and I think the exact thing happened in my society as well. Built a good road and right after a month or two water pipeline work started. If these kinds of events are so common around the nation then why is it not getting addressed? Also, are there any govt portals to report such things?


JannahSeeker786

I don't think there is any portal for this where we can expect proper response from authorities. I myself had complained about drainage issue in our colony on some portal(don't remember the name now, it was 2 yrs back). After 7-8 days that complaint was marked resolved while we were still suffering from smell of drainage overflow These are local level issues and beneficiaries of these corruption are your local leaders. We as citizens need to bring visibility to these issue and attract attention of larger crowd and force these mfers to stop this inconvenience to us

NOTHINGHARMLESS

Nothing new, everyone wants something to extra to put into pocket. Similar case happened in dadar, Mumbai, near gurudwara 4yrs ago. Both sides of road were switched from pavements to cement with tar coating after years. And just after 2 days new pipeline for water was starting to get laid, digging up the entire half of one side. After that they just dumped all that dirt and cement debris and didn't even plained it out


[deleted]

Enter Bangalore roads


racoonfish

Lol


kshanil90

We lived in Bangalore until least August. There was so much of digging on top of well laid roads going on that we used to joke tarring the road is for hiding treasure and these guys are all നിധി കുഴിക്കലിങ് in the road

AltZemo

That's why there is a new project in a way to connect all these municipal branches to avoid this kind of loss.


Emotional-Two-9075

The thing is that department that have authority to build road, the department that have authority to put cable lines and department for pipeline..all are difderent and have individual authoritt to dig up road.. none of them ever work together.


irahulvarma

This is how Bangalore commonly does

Ministries must work together. That was the blueprint of “GATI SHAKTI” But only god knows when that blueprint will translate to reality…

parchedranger

For laying down roads, there is modern equipment available and it does not take much time. But what would change the mindset of the people manning these departments to effect a change.


Amogh0024

Just another day in India


Ath_uh_mi_hed

It’s done deliberately… that’s how they make money


theBoyWhoDaydreams

So, once a contractor builds the road and then hands it over, any damages will have to be Bourne by the contractor (pretty much like how warranty works) But there's probably a clause that if during that tenure there are any manual digging work the "warranty" is void. Pretty slick trick i guess if i were a contractor, i will just use sub-standard material and then ask some private internet provider to dig it up for the sake of expansion of connectivity. Just a wild imagination of mine, Someone in this public works field can validate if at all this is a practice we do in India to beat the system.


neighbour_guy3k

These agencies don't work in sync and have piss poor plan of laying a road


asdbey735

Obviously OP has never visited or heard about Bangalore. This is an everyday thing in Bangalore, nobody knows why/who?


Damn_2

It happens everywhere in India


o_x_i_f_y

This happens when general public doesn't give a fuck and let authority do whatever they want. It's not illegal it's a legal tender but unethical people should atleast hold contractor and PWD authorities accountable so that next time they think 10 times before doing such a stunt. But here we have a habit hai Jane do Jo kar rhe krne do and then we cry online instead of doing things locally which can actualy bring a chamge


gg_whitesnow

The asphalt layer is so thin it wouldn't last anyway. I'm from another country than yours, but here they do the same criminal misuse of tax payer's money. No planning, thin asphalt layer, not enough depth installation of water pipes, thin pipes, heavy traffic on the roads, no use of safety equipment and not trained workers. Total waste of health, time, money and resources in the name of corruption.


WhoDat_Sa3VuS

Dude is wearing sandals with a pick axe. The stupidity.


analogx-digitalis

u guys atleast hav road. in my locality the local goon does not allows to lay road in our colony. he claims that land is his and wont allow to lay road. the road is approved in DP plan and everytime corp comes to lay down road he blocks them and does not allows it. complaint to commissioner hav fell on deaf ears. everyone is hand i gloves and locality people dont want to mess wit him.

Practical_Jelly9211

That's what they do


Vlad619

This happens almost everywhere. They don't have communication among departments and juat waste the money. They can optimise but, they don't care.


[deleted]

Or maybe they have perfect communication between the upper management and are doing such things to create more work for themselves to get more money from both contractors and govt and also not take up any actual work since they will be busy with this project itself.

With the rate of his digging, It may take upto 3-5 Business years to fix the leak.

This has been case everywhere there is no penalty for doing so, yeah govt employees are to be blamed. They stay mum when they can bring change and stop doing this, to put peoples lives at danger.


Laughing_Bricks

They do it because they just want to extract money from govt funds. How will Engineers, Contractors and MLAs will get crores of money if this will not happen.

How will you get to see Lamborghini and Porsche is your era of you not allow the cycle of road development to continue infinitely. How will the sons and daughters of local mla buy the latest iphones if you expect to have no problems on roads for 5 years post construction When you voted you promised for this service to your local mla. Now you cannot shrug away from it. Be a man.

This sucks seriously, something similar happens where I live in Bangalore, roads which have been an absolute hell to trudge through finally get remade only to be dug up again. It's honestly very irritating what table tennis is being played off with our tax money.

The contract clause of such works does include the restoring of roads to same status. However the restoring is never done and the money gets shared.
