He said that facilities would be created at the sub-office of Mangaluru City Corporation at Surathkal to upgrade it as a zonal office. A sum of Rs. 2.25 crore has been reserved for it.

The MLA said that about 85 shops in the Surathkal market would be temporarily shifted to the Kendra Maidan, Surathkal, for building a modern market. A sum of Rs. 1.80 crore would be spent for creating temporary facilities for shop-keepers at the madian.

Asked whether such a huge amount was required to create temporary facilities at the maidan, the MLA said that as the shop-keepers shifted would have to be there till the modern market complex was ready, Rs. 1.80 crore was required to build facilities at the maidan.

He said that the modern market complex would be built in phases. An estimation for Rs. 130 crore has been prepared for it and sent to the government for approval.

The MLA said that the fourth work included upgrading Surathkal-MRPL Road into a six-lane concrete road up to a length of 800 m at an estimated cost of Rs. 2.80 crore. The road would be upgraded between Surathkal Town and Railway Gate on the road.

Mr. Bava said that the road is about 5 km long. The remaining stretch would have to be upgraded as six-lane road with the financial contribution from various oil companies and industries using the road. The companies and industries in the constituency would have to contribute funds under their corporate social responsibility scheme. The expansion project might require about Rs. 50 crore.

The MLA said that the companies and industries were spending funds reserved under corporate social responsibility in North India instead of in Mangaluru.

Mr. Bava said that underground drainage works would be taken up in 23 wards in the constituency at an estimated cost of Rs. 130 crore.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.
