Bengaluru: CM promises repair of damaged ghat roads, accelerate Smart City


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Sep 14: Karnataka chief minister, B S Yediyurappa, has promised to undertake repair of ghat roads like Shiradi and Charmadi which connect coastal districts with those in the plains so that vehicles can ply on these roads without hassles.

His promise came at a meeting of people's representatives from Dakshina Kannada district held at Vidhana Soudha here on Friday, September 13.

Giving details of the meeting later, Mangaluru (south) MLA Vedavyas Kamath said that ghat roads like Shiradi and Charmadi have suffered extensive damages due to very heavy rains. Noting that these roads connect Dakshina Kannada district with the rest of Karnataka and their current bad state has created problems for road users, he said that the people's representatives had urged the chief minister to get these roads repaired as early as possible in the interests of the general public. "The chief minister was positive in the matter and assured to direct the officials to repair all ghat roads as soon as possible," he explained.

Kamath expressed the hope that problems faced by the people of Mangaluru on account of defective property cards in the matter of registration of land and building will be things of the past soon. "We have explained in details about the property card problems and issues faced by the people. Yediyurappa told us that he is aware of the problems as similar problems persist even in Shivamogga. He has asked the officials to register land and buildings for the present without property cards for a limited period by which time, meetings of MPs, MLAs and deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district should be held to solve problems faced on this issue. Once all issues are addressed, property card would be mandatory," he explained.

He said that the people's representatives urged the chief minister to give impetus to Smart City project of the central government in Mangaluru city. The chief minister, who also holds urban development department, promised to instruct the concerned to hold meetings of MLAs of different areas and to speed up smart city project, he added.

    The BJP is only good in renaming and repairing the previous government's contribution to the nation blaming 70 years past.

    The state has witnessed one of the worst floods this monsoon season affecting 23 districts. The governments own estimation has put the losses to more than Rs32,000 crores. The floodwater is only receded. But flood victims are clueless about their future losing everything to the flood.

    The government has no money for the flood victims, enough resources for 'Operation Kamala'. Even after appointing three Deputy Chief Minister party is clueless where to begin. As of now, priority of the government seems to win 17 seats in Bye-polls after disqualification for horse-trading.

    The newly opened Thokattu flyover is living example of the quality construction under the BJP government. Whereas Netravati Bridge is on NH 66 in Mangalore still serving the nation from last six decades.

    The BJP seems to live in the 'Dream World' of the smart city were the state affairs has been given in the hands of 'porn' lovers.

    Smart city like Mangalore will have a Corniche like in gulf.
    In the Corniche will be 5 star deluxe hotels, theme water parks, high speed rail link, world class shopping, excellent parks with jogging and barbeque facility (no beef bbq), fine dining of chicken sukka and kori rotti with naked kane fry on the jetty, and world class cruise ships from Europe and US will dock in Mangalore like in Venice. ..
