Mangalore, May 14: Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized an interactive meeting with B Nagaraj Shetty, chairman, Coastal Development Authority to discuss various development projects in coastal districts. The interaction was held at the meeting hall of chamber building in Bunder here on Saturday May 14.

Speaking the occasion, Shetty said that erosion of seashores in coastal districts, a nagging problem during rainy season will be solved as the proposal for a public-private partnership (PPP) project costing Rs 800 crore has been made by the state to central government. Once the approval is given for the project and money is released, seashores in Udupi, Mangalore and Uttara Kannada will be free from fear of sea erosion, he said.

He promised many new initiations such as Sakleshpur, Hassan and Mangalore road will be improved under public private partnership, two day convention ‘Vision for 2050’ will be held in Mangalore in the month of September and a investors meet for NRI in the month of December. He also said new proposal has been already made for the fourlane road between Mangalore Airport to Manipal which could be hardly 45 minutes journey as against 1 hour and 45 minutes along National Highway. A proposal is ahead for the functioning of private craft between Cochin, Mumbai and Mangalore, he said. A railway station in Marakada location near the Mangalore Airport will be air conditioned to facilitate commuters traveling to north India and other parts of the country after landing in Mangalore Airport.

G G Mohandas Pai, president, KCCI, welcomed. Arjun L A Pinto Prabhu and honorary secretary delivered the vote of thanks.

    Good step, but kindly one small request, pls. complete the project.
    last week i was in mangalore small vacation. but it's very sad that, many uncomplete project.
    near kulshekar, mallikatta, Hampankatta, no lines in the main road, no footpath, reckless local bus, no respect for old people.
    above project is very big Rs. 800 Cr. is not a small Amt. Kindly use full Amt for only for project.
    don't split this amt to any political party.

    It is a pleasure to note that the Kanaraq Chamber of Commerce and Industry is taking all the required initiatives in major concerns such as Sea Erosion as well as the improved roadways to Sakhlaspur and Hassan and elsewhere.

    Better roads and broader roads will facilitate smoother and safer traffic and also save lot of precious time on the roads. Better roads and smoother traffic will also help conserve fuel consumption in this time and age when the energy costs are rising steeper and steeper by the day.

    The "Vision for 2050" is a great foresight but the waiting journey will be too long and tiresome when almost two older generations will be gone without seeing the road progress. Roadways improvement needs priority. Better roads will also save the life of people and also the life of a vehicle.
