Bbmp control room

Bengaluru Pre-monsoon rain accompanied with gusty winds lashed the city on Tuesday, May 30, disrupting lives. Several roads were inundated causing inconvenience to the commuters. Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) D.K. Shivakumar directed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to visit flood-prone areas following which executive engineers of the civic body are camping to address the issues. The Joint Commissioners of all the zones have been directed by the minister to closely monitor the situation. Lingarajapuram underpass was inundated with knee-deep water, halting the traffic during the evening hours. The city has been witnessing rain since Tuesday afternoon. According to the BBMP control room, at least five trees uprooted and several branches were broken which were cleared by the forest department. The commuters in the city were seen wading through water-logged roads. Traffic near R.T. Nagar was hit after water from the shoulder drain entered the road. Outer Ring Road near RMZ EcoSpace was waterlogged. A BBMP official said the situation in the city is under control and officials are on standby to deal with flood-like situations arising from rains.

Staff on deputation, who do not have any special training in handling emergencies, handle all calls. These include complaints about flooding in low-lying areas, collapsed trees and fallen electric poles due to rains. The BBMP has nine control rooms, one each at zonal offices and one central office. The staff work in three shifts - 6 am to 2 pm, 2 pm to 10 pm and 10 pm to 6 am. The number of control room staff in each shift varies from one to three in all eight zones. “Employees from revenue, welfare, health and other departments in the BBMP are posted on deputation in the control rooms,” an official from the BBMP told Express. They work in the control room for a month and do not even get weekly offs during this time, he observed. The primary duty of the staff at the control room is to take details from the caller and pass it on to officials who will act on the information, he said. “We have to deal with various kinds of callers. Some people call us in an inebriated condition and abuse us. It is not easy to get rid of such callers,” said a staff at a zonal-level control room. An official at the control room in the South zone said, “We are often targeted and abused by the public as well as elected representatives. Senior citizens also often call us and talk about their heart ailments and problems about getting PAN cards. If we speak nicely, they talk to us for over half-an-hour wasting our time. But if we are rude, they complain to higher officials.” While the control rooms ...
