Looking at the submerged roads in Bangalore, Indian navy expresses interest in opening a naval base in the heart of the city

Looking at the recent rain that has created chaos and submerged all the roads in Bangalore and the inaction from BBMP to fill the potholes and clear the water from the roads, the chief of Indian navy has expressed interest in building a naval base at the heart of Bangalore city.

Here are some of the excerpts from the letters written by the Chief of the Indian Navy to the defense ministry.

“I was travelling from Bangalore international airport to MG road to attend one of my colleague’s Daughter’s wedding. It took me almost 3 hours to reach the venue as all the roads were covered with water. Travelling by a boat would have taken me less time to cover the distance. This sparked an idea in me to create a naval base in Bangalore. Given the strategic location of the city and its strategic importance it makes perfect sense to start a naval base here.

I initially had the concern if the roads will cause damage to the warships. However when I discussed with my technical experts about this they told me that it wasn’t a problem at all since the submerged roads have huge potholes and the ships will never come in contact with the surface of the road and as a matter of fact given the depth of the potholes Bangalore can even house Submarines. Moreover based on the discussions with the residents in Bangalore I found that the potholes are never filled by the civic authorities and hence it will never cause any problem to the navy to house warships.

Creating a naval base in Bangalore will open up a huge employment base here and diversify the job opportunities for people living in Bangalore as people here are solely dependent on IT for a living. This will also help Intelligent and smart Techies to join the Navy which will in turn strengthen our armed forces and help us in building better defense systems here in our country and reduce our dependencies in sourcing foreign products. This will in-turn help us in creating a great nation.

With this I would like to conclude that creating a naval base here in Bangalore makes perfect sense and the defense ministry should look into this subject closely and provide approvals for the same. “

So if the defense ministry considers this option we could soon see a naval base at the central business district of Bangalore.
