Question
Can we have a common board where we can also see the progress of the particular project being started by BDA, so that we can also track how are they making the progress, or they are doing as per the plan and time-table or other things like that?
BDA information and questions
How is the BDA organized - organization and organization chart are on their website. Some ongoing work information. Some more questions.
General:
1) Will they update their website with most recent or current information (especially with a progress report on various ongoing projects)?
2) Regular recovery of land occurs but what about illegal structures and/or encroachment in parks?
Technical questions:
1) What minimum town planning standards are prescribed and followed? What is the code followed?
2) How does BDA interact with other stakeholders and ensure minimum standards especially for private layouts? In other words, does BDA ensure that (for example) BWSSB sanction for water and wastewater supply, egress and treatment are available before approving the final permit? Or, maybe checking if BBMP permit for storm water infiltration is available before approving the layout?
3) How does BDA ensure compliance (for example - minimum green space is provided, standards are adhered to etc.)? Do they perform regular inspections? Related - what is the penalty for violations (easier to nip the problem in the bud than worry later; avoids akrama-sakrama like issues).
4) Is BDA responsible for some of the multi-storied flats (or maybe some aspects of those projects)? What aspects? Do they have the expertise to verify those aspects? Fire protection/mitigation comes to mind.
A new chairman has taken over recently and it might be a better idea to give her some time to settle in.
