Mangalore, February 4: Ahead of the annual 'car festival' of historical Sri Venkataramana Temple, the newly widened Car Street was formally opened for the vehicle transportation and pedestrians on Friday morning.

Speaking after inaugurating the road, Deputy Speaker N Yogish Bhat admitted that without the co-operation of local people, who gave up their properties for the sake of development and the struggle of officials and representatives from former Deputy Commissioner V Ponnuraj to local corporators, the ambitious plan of car street widening would not have been carried out successfully.

Stating that Rs 100 crore fund granted to Mangalore City Corporation by the Chief Minister paved the way for speedy accomplishment of the work, Mangalore North MLA also said that the furthermore promised grant of Rs 100 crore to MCC, will be utilised for the inner road widening and development under the Corporation limits.

He said that he has proposed many action plans pertaining to the development of his constituency and district in the pre budget meeting held recently, which includes extension of the runway of Mangalore airport and development of its surrounding roads.

Bhat also said that he has discussed with the Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa about widening the roads leading to the historical temples across this coastal district, which may contribute to the tourism development in the country.

MCC Commissioner KN Vijayaprakash said that the successful widening of Car Street within a short period has set an example for the road development in the entire country.

Recalling the earlier condition of the road stretch, he said if it was possible to widen Car Street, it is possible to widen and develop any road in the country. “The success story of Car Street widening will be discussed in the state and national arena too,” he added.


Mayor Rajani Dugganna, Deputy Mayor Rajendra Kumar and local Corporators were present.
