Multi-level car parking project to take off soon: MUDA

Mangalore, August 31: The ambitious Rs 300 crore multi-level car parking (MLCP) project of the Mangalore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) is likely to take off soon. MUDA Chairman Ramesh S said that the detailed project report (DPR) is under preparation and the project will take off as soon as the widening of the K S Rao Road, which leads to the project area, to 80 ft is taken up.


The 1.55 acre land has been given on a 35-year lease to MUDA by the City Corporation. The stumbling block has been the additional 55 cents which is in private hands. "We have had talks with the five private parties who hold the private land so that MUDA will have 2.10 acres of land for development. The terms of agreement will be decided soon,'' he added.

Sources in MUDA and the City Corporation office informed that the proposal was stuck as land owners were not agreeing to the 60:40 factorization based on the land given up, with 60% going to the investor. They were keen on 50:50 factorization.

It is yet unclear whether the project will be developed on a public private partnership (PPP) or joint development mode. "If the tenders for the project do not get adequate response, we will decide on the joint development mode,'' Ramesh observed.

The project will have 11 storeys, of which the top five storeys will be for car parking. Ramesh said the car park will not be a ramp system but will be a mechanical lift system which will give space for parking more than 800 cars. The rest of the floors will be used as commercial space, a move intended at garnering revenue for MUDA for putting up the project.

He said if all things fall into place, the foundation stone laying ceremony will be held within the next couple of months.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
