Crore-Rupee Concrete Road Built Over a Dilapidated Drain

Somwarpet, June 5: While the work on the Somwarpet-Tholurushettalli road, which is part of the Magadi-Jalsur state highway, is progressing at a slow pace by the Public Works Department, the construction of a concrete road on a dilapidated cesspool has caused concern in the public sector.

The government has allocated a grant of almost Rs. 1 crore per km for the development of the road from Alekatte to Inakanahalli. Despite providing such a huge amount of grant, the public is asking whether it is reasonable to build a concrete road on a dilapidated cesspool.

A cesspool had been built earlier in a ditch near the junction road leading from the state highway to Kalkandur village. It had reached a dilapidated state, and every rainy season, water would stagnate in this area and a small pond would form. Although a new concrete road is being constructed now, there is no plan to repair this culvert.

Locals have expressed their dissatisfaction through the newspaper, saying that this calls into question the performance of the engineers of the Public Works Department concerned.
