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

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Janata Dal (Secular) chief and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Sunday refuted reports of him contesting in the Rajya Sabha elections and added that he is more concerned about strengthening his party in Karnataka.

"I am not interested in going to Rajya Sabha. My concern is to build and strengthen the party in the region to the best of my ability. I had declared earlier that I will not contest elections anymore," Deve Gowda told ANI here.

"My party MP D Kupendra Reddy is there in the Rajya Sabha as of now and further decisions will be taken by the party. In March 2019, towards the end of the 16th Lok Sabha I had declared that I will not contest any more elections," Deve Gowda added.

Four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka are about to fall vacant in June this year as two of Congress, one of BJP and JD(S) MPs retire.
