Mysuru :

N.R. Constituency MLA Tanveer Sait today launched the long-pending Jodi Tenginamara Road works from Highway Circle to the junction behind JSS Dental College.

The MLA, who was accompanied by MCC officials, conducted survey by taking measurements for the widening works.

Speaking to SOM, he said that the works would be taken up in two phases with works pertaining to construction of drains, removal of old soil and putting new soil for laying of the new road in the first phase covering 760 mts at a cost of Rs. 2.9 crore.

He further said that in the second phase works on 1,100 mts of this stretch would be taken up and added that the Pourakarmika Colony would be demolished and the residents of the Colony would be accommodated in the houses built by the Slum Board under JnNURM scheme.

The MLA said that the works in the second phase would be taken up at a cost of Rs. 5.5 crore and added that a separate road for heavy vehicles to ply is also being taken up jointly by the MCC, MUDA and the Railways.

He further said that only asphalting the stretch of road would be unscientific as the road is very low and during rains, the road is flooded besides damaging it again and hence the road would be heightened and asphalted.

He said that before taking up asphalting, new sewage pipeline with bigger pipes would be laid.

As the density of traffic on this road is high, the road would be widened, he said and added that measures would be taken to prevent heavy vehicles such as lorries, fuel tankers from entering this stretch as separate road is being laid for them to join the Ring Road.

Former Corporator N.B. Tiwari, Railway Goods Shed Lorry Owners Association President Abdul Khader Shahid, Mahadevaprasad, MCC officials and others were present.
