She also used pictures of well-maintained roads in electronic city, one of which said, Elcita uses road metrics, an AI tool, to scan roads every fortnight for defects. This data allows them to fix issues quickly before they worsen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElcita designs roads scientifically and BBMP engineers need to adopt this,\u201d she said. Water stagnation, the caption of another picture said, causes potholes, but electronic city prevents this with clean drains, stronger drainage systems and 75 rainwater harvesting pits, keeping roads dry even during heavy rains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we have Elcita, I don\u2019t understand why we use substandard contractors in high density traffic zones,\u201d Shaw said in her post. Another picture she posted was captioned, &#8220;While Bengaluru&#8217;s Bommanahalli struggles with potholes and poor roads, the electronic city, managed by Elcita, offers a stark contrast. The secret? Smart management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:2--><\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/give-contract-to-fix-bengaluru-roads-to-elcita-not-bbmp-contractors-kiran-mazumdar-shaw-tells-karnataka-govt\/articleshow\/114591406.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has urged the Karnataka government to hand over the contract for the upkeep of Bengaluru\u2019s roads to Electronic City Township Authority (Elcita) after heavy rains over the last few days left many areas flooded and roads damaged.
