Bantwal: Pathetic state of B C Road-Punjalakatte highway irks commuters

Bantwal, Jun 13: Vehicle drivers and owners are saying that it is an adventure commuting on the stretch of B C Road-Punjalakatte road in the taluk on the national highway near Vilapura in the taluk.

Highway construction work is in progress on Bantwal bypass road and it is virtually impossible to drive vehicles on this stretch.

Road work from B C Road to Punjalakatte, which is a stretch of 19.85 km is being widened to make it two-way and also 10-meter wide. In addition, four-lane concrete road is being constructed between B C Road and Jakribettu which is 3.85 km in length and 14-meter wide.

The road work is on since a year. However, the work is not finished on time. Initially, the road was dug and asphalt mixed stones and mud was put on that part. Once rainy season started, the mud of the mixture was washed off and the road has numerous potholes and immersed in only mud.

The road is non-existing at present. The breaking down of vehicles is largely expected. It is true that due to Covid-19 pandemic, it was not possible to finish the work on time. However, the contractor must have made some effort to ease the life of the vehicle drivers on this stretch.

The contractor has the time till December to finish the work. However, priority should be given to repair the road so that it can be used by the commuters without any difficulty.

    Only few days back whole troupe of BJP's Mangalore unit is walking barefoot for the inauguration of Gurupur bridge in Bantwal Taluk with much hype.

    But the reality is that the road that lead to the bridge is look like paddy field ready for seedling. The BJP and its followers blame 70 years past ruling Congress government.

    The BJP which is ruling since 28 years in the this district with three union ministers represented can't even construct the road even to match the standard of British colonial era infrastructures.

    Jai Hind

    I'm a regular commuter on this road (now using the Bantwal town road). It will not be motorable in the next week or so. The contractor had planned and executed it poorly.

    Should get some training from the contractor who did Gurupur bridge and the road connecting to the new bridge.

    There is more money to be made by politicians and contractors in constructing new roads, than repairing old roads. Everyone knows this. So why will public authorities repair old roads

    Highway authorities never visit the spot. Even they are not available in the office. They are the great authorities in india.

    When person who won several times from this constituency what we can expect from him. It's after all people's mistake. Person is always on sleeping mode...always either walking, standing or sitting. How he can visualise condition of road. This what gift from congress.

    Why are you beating around the bush??. Of couse it is initiated by Mr Ramanatha Rai. Not by feku and team. Now it is the job of present MLA to see the works get faster and complete as soon as possible.
