Budget: BBMP to push for infrastructure

Bengaluru: Ahead of its budget, BBMP has sought a financial assistance of Rs 3,300 crore from the state government to implement a slew of infrastructure works across the city. The BBMP wants to use the funds to build signal free corridors, use LED lamps for street lights, a super-specialty hospital and a sports complex. BBMP also hopes save around 40 per cent on its electricity bills by installing LED lamps. Last year, the BBMP had sought a financial assistance of Rs 5,000 crore for white topping, lake development, TenderSure roads and footpath development.
