Many roads in Mangalore still lack storm-water drains and pavements even two years after the Mangalore City Corporation completed concreting the roads in the city. Many of those roads still lack storm-water drains and pavements.
Deputy Speaker in the Assembly and Mangalore City South MLA N Yogish Bhat laid the foundation stones for constructing storm-water drains on three roads in Mangalore South on September 4, 2012. Even after two months, the work has not begun.
The foundation stones were laid for constructing storm-water drains on either side of the road from Rao and Rao Circle to Clock Tower at an estimated cost of Rs 1.08 crore; from Mangalore Central Railway Station to Koti Chennaya Circle in Nandigudda (one side) at an estimated cost of Rs. 95.80 lakh; and from AB Shetty Circle to Subhash Nagar Junction (one side) at an estimated cost of Rs 2.31 crore.
The projects were entrusted to Dakshina Kannada Nirmiti Kendra. While laying the foundation stone Bhat went on record that the projects would be implemented by using Rs 20 crore the State government had released to the corporation as the second instalment of Rs 100 crore special grants sanctioned to the civic body.
