In a meeting convened by Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel on Monday, Mangaluru Mayor Harinath, MRPL officials and some councillors agreed in principle to repair the road first with funds drawn from the share of major industries using the road and also from the civic body.

Mr Kateel convened the meeting two days after Mr Harinath wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to direct MRPL to repair the road using its corporate social responsibility fund.

The Mayor later said that it was decided to hold another round of meeting on Friday by inviting more stakeholders using the particular road which is in pathetic condition.

The Mayor said that the MP promised that officials of HPCL, BASF and other industries using the road would be invited to Friday's meeting and their share of fund would be decided there.

The officials who participated in Monday's meeting estimated that it might require about Rs. 1.50 crore to repair the road now.

The Mayor said that if the same road was to be concreted, it might require Rs. 45 crore. Some in the meeting suggested that after concreting the road, toll could be collected from the users. No decision has been taken yet.

It may be recalled here that, the Mayor on October 4 had threatened of sitting in dharna in front of MRPL if the company did not start repair work within 20 days. He blamed the company for the bad condition of the road.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals on Saturday to assess COVID-19 management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds, as promised, with effect from Sunday.

The chief minister said that private medical college hospitals need to cooperate as there is a sharp rise in COVID-10 cases in the city. He further said that it has come to the notice of the government that some institutes are denying treatment of COVID-19 as well as non-COVID patients.

The chief minister expressed his concerns over media reports stating several people died as they didn't get timely treatment due to denial from the hospitals. He said that Bengaluru should continue to lead the country as a role model in COVID-19 management.

During previous meetings, private medical colleges had agreed upon providing around 4,500 beds, which would make the total beds available in government and private medical colleges 6,500.

The chief minister expressed dismay over some colleges not providing the number of beds as promised and also about certain lacunae which were noticed by ministers during their visit.
During this emergency situation, we should show humanity. COVID and non-COVID patients shall not be denied treatment and the balance in healthcare system shall be maintained, he advised.

He assured them of all support, including providing doctors and nurses if need be.
The private medical colleges had assured to provide 50 per cent of beds and some colleges offered 80 per cent of the beds for COVID treatment.

Nodal officers have already been appointed to monitor the availability of beds in these medical colleges.

It was decided to issue a notice to Vaidehi Medical College for their absence in the meeting.
