Madikeri, Oct 26: Construction work has commenced on the concrete road at Raja Seat in Madikeri, which had fallen into a severe state of disrepair, making it difficult for traffic to pass.
The *Bhoomi Pooja* (groundbreaking ceremony) for upgrading the Raja Seat road—which had been in poor condition for years, hindering movement—was held three months ago. However, the project was delayed as permission to close the road during construction had not been granted. During a general meeting of the City Municipal Council (CMC) held on the 23rd, MLA Dr. Manthar Gowda issued instructions to begin the work immediately. Consequently, the contractors commenced the road construction today.
Currently, the existing asphalt (tar) is being removed, and the laying of gravel is scheduled to begin tomorrow. The concrete pouring phase will start in ten days. This major road will remain closed for 40 days starting tomorrow. The contractor informed *Shakti* that while vehicle movement will be permitted during emergencies prior to the concrete pouring, the road will be completely closed once the concrete is laid.
He further stated that permission has been obtained from the City Municipal Council to close the road and to remove trees located along the roadside. A well-constructed concrete road will be built soon, putting an end to the recurring problem of potholes.
