Mangalore, October 10: Mangalore airport road from Karnataka Polytechnic (KPT) Junction to Maravoor was renamed after Bharat Rathna Sir M Visvesvaraya in a function organized by Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) at KPT Circle here on Monday.

J Krishna Palemar, Dakshina Kannada in-charge Minister inaugurated the programme.

The renamed road was concreted at the cost of Rs 29.32 crore in which the MCC had contributed Rs. 4.57 crore. An amount of Rs. 12.50 crore and Rs. 12.25 crore had been drawn from State Finance Commission under its grant to the corporation during 2008-09 and from a Union government scheme called ASIDE (Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities) respectively.

He said Sir M Visvesvaraya Road will have footpaths and storm water drains along the 7 km stretch of four-lane concrete road (from KPT junction to Maravoor). The contracts were given to 'Nirmiti Kendra' and the labourers would be provided by the city based builders.

Mr Palemar also said that the works of constructing much awaited bus stand at Pumpwell would begin within couple of days. He said the officials at MCC should complete the works within six months. He also denied the rumours about the uncertainty over constructing the bus stand. “There is no take back on the decision of building bus stand,” he affirmed.
