Shiradi Ghat road to be opened for traffic after six months

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Public Works Minister H.D. Revanna and Housing and Urban Development Minister U.T. Khader will inaugurate the Shiradi Ghat road on Sunday at 1.30 a.m. at Gundya in Dakshina Kannada.

For past six months motorists were using alternative routes as the concretizing work was going on. The ancillary works are expected to be over within a couple of days for Package 2 of reconstruction of Ghat road, the crucial link connecting the coast with the hinterland.

The road has been in a battered condition since 2007-08. Though the National Highways Division of the State PWD did the annual ritual of maintenance by spending a couple of crore rupees, the ghat remained in a pathetic condition following movement of heavy goods-laden vehicles, including iron-ore transporting trucks.

Senior officials, including Chief Engineer M. Ganesh and Superintending Engineer Raghavan of PWD’s NH division inspected the Package 2 stretch on Thursday. 

Highlights

*Total length: 37 km; concreted length: 26 km

*Package 1: between Heggadde and Kempu Hole Guest House, Rs. 70 crore, completed between January and August 2015

*Package 2: between Kempu Hole Guest House and Adda Hole, 13 km, Rs. 61.57 crore, completed between January and July 2018

Davanagere, Jul 4: Referring to allegations made by former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's charge about corruption while purchasing COVID-19 equipment, Health Minister B Sriramulu said the state government is ready for any kind of probe in this regard.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, he said the government has maintained accounts for each purchase of equipment related to Covid-19. 

"So, Congress leader's allegations are far from the truth. Siddaramaiah has vast political experience. It is unbecoming of such a leader to make ridiculous allegations. The government is ready to release white paper on purchase of equipment related to Covid-19," he said.

He said Karnataka stands third in the country in collection of throat swabs and examination of people related to Covid-19. The entire country has hailed Karnataka's role in containing Covid-19, Sriramulu he added.
