Karnataka Launches 90-Day Bengaluru Fix With Pothole Deadline, ORR Pricing Under Study

Phased targets with potential ORR fees aim to speed delivery, enforcing accountability.

Overview

  • Finalised on September 24 under Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh, the roadmap sets a three‑month push on road repairs, waste management and stalled projects.
  • October focuses on making major roads motorable with full resurfacing where required, backed by Rs 750 crore and the chief minister’s October 31 repair deadline.
  • November launches the ‘My Street, My Responsibility’ citizen campaign on garbage, followed in December by corporate participation concentrated along the Outer Ring Road.
  • Authorities are exploring congestion pricing on the ORR, with a FASTag‑based fee for single‑occupant cars proposed by meeting participants.
  • The plan also seeks to accelerate the Blue Line metro and deploy a contract‑monitoring app that ties contractor payments to verified progress updates.
