Pending projects in Belthangady reveal lethargic attitude of officials

September 2, 2011
Belthangady, September 2: Funds have been released, but work hasn't yet started. This is the scenario in Belthangady Taluk. Statistics reveal a grim reality of lethargic officials, especially from the engineering department of the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat.

Out of the 85 projects for the year 2008-09, under the development fund of Belthangady MLA K Vasantha Bangera, nearly 20 are still pending. 18 projects have not yet been initiated.

Among 19 projects allotted for the year 2009-10; only one has been started. No projects, for which funds have been allotted in the year 2010-11, have been started. Even blue prints are not ready for a majority of them.

Rs 18 crore by the government has been sanctioned for one of the widely anticipated projects in the district-the Rural Water Supply Project. However, the project is progressing at a very slow pace. The project was scheduled to be completed last economic year.

Some of the projects allotted for the previous rainy season, has not been initiated even though the rainy season for this year is coming to an end.

Even though there have been several complaints from the public for the lengthy delay in the completion of the projects, officials are yet to respond to the calls of the public.
