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.
