Mangalore, May 24: PWD minister Dr H C Mahadevappa on Saturday May 24 laid the foundation stone at Thokkottu junction for the widening of two-lane road from Ullal to Mani (Bantwal).

The route has been witness to unprecedented traffic blocks as there are many educational institutions and hospitals in addition to IT park along this stretch.

Presently, the distance between Ullal to Mani is 26 km and the widening work will be undertaken on a stretch of 15 km. In total, Rs 6.5 crore has been released to start the widening work. The state government has released Rs. 1.5 crore and the central government has already released Rs 5 crore, minister Mahadevappa said while speaking to media persons.

He further said, the road would be extended up to one metre on each side and tarred. Subsequently, it will be converted into a four lane road. At present, there are seven bus stops between Ullal and Mani which will be renovated. Kuthar, Natekal and Asaigoli junctions too will be developed, he said.

    Since last three years I have been observing that on all week days from 9 am to 7 pm there is traffic jam in Bunts Hostel Circle in Mangalore. Why Govt is not planning Fly-over from Nava Bharat Circle to Kadri ?

    What does it make difference with one metre either side width. To ease traffic congestion from thokkuttu to deralakatte it needs dual carriage way or at least 4 lane

    Now the congress govt should get up for infrastructure of mangalore this they should have taken long back.Plan like gujarat for infrastruce so that rural area can be developed with good infrastructure they should see how much flyover can be made even metro or mono rail for mangalore.It is a suggestion from mangalore stn to subramanian and Dharmasthala they can have metro or mono rail line this can be also make into ring rail in the city and rural area.I suggest congress can do it more better by developing the city and rural areas if they forget the corruption and will to develop the place the people of the place change the things at time.

    Dr H C Mahadevappa is one of the few good ministers in Siddu's cabinet. He tried a lot to get sanctioned 5000 Crore Rs Shiradi Ghat tunnel project. But he did not get any response from his own party central minister Mr. Oscar.
