Kundapur, Sep 2: “The foundation stone for work on the connecting bridge to Kannada Kudru and a bridge to nearby stream of Varahamaraswamy Temple will be laid within one month and also proper measures will be taken to finish the work,” said Byndoor MLA Gopal Poojary.

He was addressing a felicitation programme organized at Kannada Kudru here on Sunday September 1.

“People feel that not enough importance has been given to this region. Hence, appropriate steps will be taken to develop Hejamady region. The government has granted over Rs 7.7 crore for the connecting bridge to Kannada Kudru and Rs 60 lac for the bridge to a nearby stream of Varahamaraswamy Temple.  Tender will be announced by this month and the foundation stone ceremony will be performed by the PWD minister,” he added.

“In the next stage, work in Muchuttu, Hosangady, and Bagimane will be undertaken. For this work, the government has sanctioned Rs 2.5 crore. After the work on the bridge, the road work in Kannada Kudru will be completed. Fisheries road is being developed and there are also proposals for tarring the Kattu road," he said.

"Under the Varahi project of the irrigation department, for Kattu and Bantwadi dams, a machine gate at a cost of Rs 18 crore will be installed. Through this, the problem of salt water will be reduced,” added Poojary.

On this occasion, gram panchayath former vice-president Raju Devadiga, Hemmady gram panchayath president Sharath Kumar Shetty, gram panchayat member Rita Crasta, veteran leader John Crasta, and  A J Crasta were present.

Jerold Crasta welcomed and compered. Teacher Santhosh Poojary thanked.

    the most beautiful place in the world is on the way to get connecte dby a bridge its rally good news for the inhabitants on the island and mainly for the handful children who have to travel everyday by boat in some horrific weather. At the same time its sad that the pollution which comes along with progress cannot be stopped. I am glad i stayed ther and enjoyed the 3 Years of absolute serenity and peace of the island which you cannot find anywhere in the world.
    BUT NO MATTER WHAT I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS PLACE BRIDGE OR NO...

    FINALLY SOME CHEERS N HOPES COME ALIVE, MANY MADE PROMISES BUT NONE OF THOSE COULDNOT MAKE IT.
    FIRST OF ALL I WISH ALL THE BEST FOR OUR MLA MR GOPAL POOJARY AND ALSO TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TAKEN THE INITIATIVES.
    OUR ELDERS HV TAKEN LOT OF STRUGGLE
    DURING ALL THESE YEARS SPECIALLY DURING RAINY SEASON WE FACED LOT OF DIFFICULTIES TO CROSS THE RIVER, WE USED HV TWO PERSONS TO ROW THE BOAT, SO STRONG THE CURRENT.
    I THINK OUR CHILDRENS WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY THAT ATLEAST THIER DREAM WILL COME TRUE.
    MOST OF THE FAMILIES LEFT OUR KUDRU DUE TO NON AVILIBITY OF FACILITIES TO CROSS THE RIVER.
    I WISH A BETTER FUTURE THOSE WHO STILL LEAVING THERE, SPECIALLY TO OUR CHILDRENS.
    GOD BLESS EVERY ONE AT KUDRU AND ALSO THOSE WHO BUILD THIS BRIDGE.
