Mysuru: The road that curves near Jaladarshini Guest House adjacent to Kukkarahalli Lake on Hunsur Road is a killer road, as it has claimed many lives in the past. This road will be widened and straightened now, said District in-Charge Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa.
He was speaking after holding a meeting with officials of various Departments on Monday at the Jaladarshini Guest House and said that the road from Kalamandira till the turn near Kukkarahalli Lake is very narrow, which has resulted in many accidents. “This was brought to my notice from MLA Vasu. I have taken note of this very seriously and along with widening the road, the curve will be straightened and it will be converted to a straight stretch,” he said.
This issue was also discussed in the Government and after its approval, Rs. 12 crore has been earmarked for the project. The foundation stone will be laid on Oct. 12, he said.
Land is required to widen and straighten the road. Hence, discussions will be held with the officials of the Forest Department, University of Mysore (UoM) and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), as the lands running through belong to all these Departments. They will be asked to provide the necessary approvals and once it is given, the foundation for the work will be laid on Oct.12, said Dr. Mahadevappa.
