Mangaluru, Mar 28: Work on the tunnel road through Shirady Ghat could begin as early as November this year and be completed in two years. "The detailed project report for this project is being prepared. If the state government readies the report and gives it to the ministry of road transport and highways by June, the work on the project will be taken up latest by December," said Nitin Gadkari, Union minister for road transport and highways (MoRTH).

Laying the foundation stone for the widening of 141 km of NH 75 at an estimated cost of Rs 2,358 crore and dedicating the completed project of his ministry at JNC Hall of NMPT on Monday, Gadkari said the 18.5-km tunnel road through Shirady Ghat will give a boost to the port connectivity and will bring New Mangalore Port on the west coast and Chennai Port on the east coast closer. It will also increase port and hinterland activities in and around the Mangaluru port.

Putting the onus on the public works department of the state government for the early submission of the project report, Gadkari said the tunnel road project will have six tunnels, longest of which is around 2.5 km. It will also have seven major bridges, with the longest bridge running to a length of 1.5 km.

"I know it is essential for the region," Gadkari said adding the ministry will accord top priority to it.

Union minister for law D V Sadananda Gowda and minister for public works and inland water ways H C Mahadevappa earlier had made a strong pitch with Gadkari to take up this project at the earliest.

Sadananda Gowda said that the project which is estimated to cost Rs 10,000 crore should be taken up at the earliest for it will give a great boost to the port to port connectivity. This project has its importance given that NMP is the only major port in the state, he added.

Mahadevappa said the PWD department will complete the report in two months and the tunnel once it is developed will be the country's first eco-friendly road tunnel. Construction of this tunnel will help develop New Mangalore Port and Chennai Port. This in turn is expected to generate a revenue to the tune of Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore annually.

The passion of young  Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope.  It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

 

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

 

 

PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.

CONGRATULATIONS.

 

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.

New Delhi, Apr 27: Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has said the monthlong ongoing lockdown has yielded positive results and that the country has managed to save “thousands of lives”.

Modi, who had a videoconference with various heads of the states on Monday, said the impact of the coronavirus, however, will remain visible in the coming months, according to a press statement released by his office. On the issue of getting back Indians who are overseas, the Prime Minister said that this has to be done keeping in mind the fact that they don’t get inconvenienced and their families are not under any risk.

During the meeting with state heads, Modi advocated for social distancing of at least 6 feet and the use of face masks as a rapid response to tackle COVID-19.

He said that states should put their efforts of converting hotspots, or red zones, into “orange and thereafter green zones”.

India last week eased the lockdown by allowing shops to reopen and manufacturing and farming activities to resume in rural areas to help millions of poor, daily-wage earners. But the economic costs of the nationwide lockdown continue to mount in a country of 1.3 billion people.

Modi, who put India under a strict lockdown on March 25, did not say if the lockdown restrictions will extend after May 3.

India has confirmed over 27,000 cases of the coronavirus, including 872 deaths.
