@CPIMKerala Sir, what is so confidential about govt finances that deserves to be hidden from public eye or external agencies? You can even access balance sheets of unlisted companies from RoC, so what’s sacrilegious about accessing govt finances that’s supposed to be transparent anyway.
@ashwinmahesh Meanwhile, in Delhi union ministers have carpooled and are travelling together without convoy. How’s VIPs time more important than citizens’ time? @CPBlr@Jointcptraffic

Compound walls were constructed based on 9 years earlier BDA marking stones and subsequent site verification carried out before construction. However, recent yellow demarcation markings now appear to indicate a different boundary alignment???
If the latest markings are correct, why do they differ from the earlier demarcation on which site owners seen from 9 years, relied for compound wall and construction? Rework utility connections?
Such inconsistencies in site demarcation create confusion, require rework of household connections, and potentially lead to future disputes for allottees.

@NPKLOpenForum 😀 Pics and videos clearly show yellow markings, dimension demarcation, and numbering activities happening across the layout.
If these are not being carried out by or under BDA-authorised teams, then who is doing them??
Thank you for the detailed clarification from BDA Helpline.
It is encouraging to see acknowledgement of legacy issues in NPKL and the continued commitment towards completing pending infrastructure and rectification works. However, site owners now look forward to seeing these issues resolved meaningfully on ground.
At the same time, the concerns being raised by site owners are based on actual ground observations over the last 9 years, repeated review meetings, official statements, and implementation changes noticed by residents themselves.
1) If the current activities are not officially termed as “survey,” then clarity may kindly be provided on what exactly the ongoing demarcation, numbering corrections, GPS-tagging references, cleaning, and yellow marking activities across the layout are. Even engineers on ground are acknowledging marking discrepancies in certain areas. When visible numbering/marking activities are happening across the layout and discrepancies are observed, later stating “no survey activity” doesn't make any sense.
2) Regarding footpaths, site owners welcome that the matter is under consideration. However, this concern was officially raised years ago and repeatedly discussed in review meetings where it was acknowledged that footpaths were not planned in any roads. Hence, residents will naturally continue to follow up until a concrete Board decision and implementation roadmap emerge.
3) On deadlines, site owners understand external constraints like bitumen shortage. However, concerns arise because earlier status presentations and public communications often projected works as completed or on track, while later in very recent review meetings reflected different ground realities.
4) Public participation should not be viewed negatively. Many active NPKL site owners have invested life savings, waited nearly a decade, and closely tracked the project throughout. Their feedback comes from lived experience and continuous observation on ground, not from assumptions.
5) Transparency, open inspections, comparative scheme-plan discussions, and timely clarification of implementation issues will only strengthen public confidence further.
Ultimately, site owners want the outcome — a genuinely well-planned, safe, transparent, and fully developed NPKL for future residents.

In a review meeting nearly 5 months ago, @Captain_Mani72, a clear process was promised for site cleaning, culvert clearing, surveying, and installing stone markings/numbering,signboards to @BDAOfficialGok
- The plan was to complete one pilot sector, conduct a joint inspection with site owners, and scale it across all blocks only after everyone’s nod. Unfortunately, this promised framework was completely bypassed.
Instead, site and culvert cleaning, surveys, and yellow-paint numbering have commenced in a few blocks without proper plan and flpw.
This haphazard execution has led to a mismatch between the original numbers from 9 years ago , the new markings and GPS tagging.
We need immediate clarity on two critical fronts:
1) The mismatch between the original site numbering from 9 years ago and the recent road yellow paint numbering.
2) The discrepancy between the survey boundaries established 9 years ago and the current yellow paint markings.
While the engineers acknowledges these errors on a one-off basis when approached by worried site owners, fixing individual complaints reactively won't solve a systemic failure.
Executing surveys and numbering in this flawed manner is a recipe for permanent litigation and chaos for thousands of allottees. We need the promised systematic approach, not rushed, erroneous paint jobs. @BDAOfficialGok@mlanaharis
In attached video culvert, sites not cleaned, yellow marking done by missing site numbers.
@Captain_Mani72@NPKLOpenForum@BDAOfficialGok Fair request, Sir. Maybe a good idea for top officials like Comr, EM to have official twitter handles by designation that can pass on like hon'ble CM has. We must separate the person from his/her post & keep their private space private.
😀
In review meetings, you yourself advised EO and teams to apply common sense in planning and execution. In the May first-week meeting also, you acknowledged during the live telecast that sections of the BDA team lacked sufficient expertise and foresight. If required, those clips can also be shared.
If such challenges exist even during your tenure while actively monitoring issues, one can imagine how many flaws may have accumulated over the last 9 years during earlier planning and execution stages.
Yes, teams may now be committed to progressing works, but many concerns being raised today are also linked to current implementation — for example, parks shown adjacent to sites without proper buffers, despite earlier existence of a 3m walkway and your own clear directions during meetings. Yet explanations were being given using unrelated private layout examples to justify implementation decisions.
Similarly:
• March completion deadlines were missed, with only around 85% asphalting .
• Electrification and streetlight works accelerated only after deadlines.
• Footpath proposal preparation and board submission were instructed few months ago, yet no proposal is still visible.
• Large-scale site cleaning, survey, demarcation, and numbering activities are now ongoing while site owners are observing inconsistencies compared to earlier markings — and now even engineers are acknowledging marking-related issues.
Public is not blind, For BDA end users and public confidence will improve more through transparency, teamwork, accountability, and issue resolution on ground rather than repeated image-management narratives by authority, authority SM team, Fan follower whenever issues are highlighted.
If what NPKL site owners are highlighting is truly far from ground reality, we are always ready to acknowledge it and apologise immediately.
The first and best step towards ‘Good Governance’ in India, is to solve the grievances of the public in a systematic & professional manner, starting from receiving the grievances properly and responding to it.
This process itself will straighten out the distortions in the system and make it much better. This has been my experience in the last 27 years in the government.
Views and counter views are welcome.
A potential time-bomb? @Captain_Mani72 has put his best foot forward, but the problem in @BDAOfficialGok is many officials don't diagnose the problem properly. Commr has a herculean task on hand to change the mindset inside.
@DKShivakumar@ShobhaBJP@nimmasuresh@STSomashekarMLA@mlanaharis@Captain_Mani72@BDAOfficialGok Is the site marking and dimension demarcation in #NPKL truly correct and accurate?
1) Site owners are observed the GPS-tagged/Google Map numbers and the site numbers written during allotment appear to be mismatching.
In the attached picture 1 & 2, the site number written nearly 9 years ago, the survey number now painted on ground in yellow, and the current GPS mapping do not appear to match each other.
2) Current site demarcation is extending beyond the earlier marking stones previously placed on ground. Due to this, even household utility connections terminated based on earlier markings may now require rework if the new GPS mapping is considered accurate.
As seen in the attached photo, a few recently constructed compound walls have extended beyond the previous marking stones. When enquired, owners stated that construction was done after recent survey confirmation. If the latest marking is considered correct, then existing household utility connection points may face alignment and access issues.
3) Some real-estate agents/site sellers are also displaying or writing site numbers that do not match the approved drawing series or official numbering, which may create major confusion and future disputes for buyers and site owners.
If the new GPS mapping is considered accurate and site positions are shifting in a majority of areas, then corresponding rectification in documents and proper public clarification may also become necessary.
Clear, transparent, and accurate site demarcation is essential to avoid disputes, legal confusion, and repeated rework for residents.

@mi2madhu@BDAOfficialGok@BdaDcf7220 Looks like it makes eminent sense to plant saplings in open spaces than on roads as experience shows they are vulnerable during rains; weak ones crash while strong ones can damage buildgs. Am not expert on this, but expert suggestions are welcome. @ashwinmahesh@eshwar_khandre
