Mangalore, Nov 19: District in-charge minister Krishna J Palemar said that the public works department (PWD) is expected to finish the work on road repair in the city in a couple of months and that the work is of such quality that it will last till next rainy season.

He was speaking to reporters after conducting an inspection of the PWD building here on Friday November 19.

He also added that the PWD building which is undergoing renovation will soon be ready, and assured that maintenance funds will be released to the department in order to facilitate better upkeep of the office premises. He also appreciated PWD for the work that it is doing.

Further, he said that the PWD has taken up infrastructure development work in the Bunder area in the city, and that the project, worth Rs 15 crore, is almost over. More works will be taken up at a cost of Rs 115 crore in the near future, he added.

Moreover, he revealed that the state cabinet has empowered the PWD to auction sand mining, for which a new committee will be set up to chalk out guidelines and procedures.

Superintendent engineer of city circle of PWD Balakrishna said that each taluk has its own lab where trained engineers have been employed to test the quality of bitumen which is required to lay good roads. A sum of Rs 15.5 crore has been released to set up a science and technology centre at Pilikula, he informed. Also, there are plans to build a drama theatre in the city, for which tenders will soon be invited, he added.

    Bravo Mr. Palemar. The 2 months that you are saying is 4-6 months
    as per Indian calendar. Which means
    ready anywhere from March to June.
    So it is the right time before the
    monsoon starts. The PWD will again
    get funds out of which 60% go in govt.officials pockets and if we are lucky 40% for the roads.
    Keep it up and fool your country folks. We are fools anyway as we
    are tolerating all this tamashas.

    Dear Minister
    WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO YOU . I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION. DO NOT WASTE MONEY WHERE IT IS NOT NEEDED. kNOWLEDGE IS AVAILABLE, THOUGH COMMON SENSE IS NOT SO COMMON. THE QUALITY OF BITUMEN TO BE USED MAY BE TESTED. BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE QUALITY "OF BITUMEN ACTUALLY USED"
