Madikeri, june.17: Heart burns whenever someone sees the old private bus stop. Readers know. On August 2018, the hills were destroyed and a barrier was forced to close. Some of us approached the then District Collector Srividya, thinking that if the barrier was beautifully constructed, it would be a magical place. They transformed it into a "Madikeri sketchbook", with its bottom seating arrangement, a circular ladder on two sides to climb up, and a sidewalk to photograph the center, and in the evening put forward a laser image on the wall. The district agreed to our desire to introduce and promote various aspects of the life of the people in the district, such as festivals, Dussehra, Hutturi, history, janjivan.
The corrupt officials reported that the scheme was not valid in Madikeri area, and that such a barrier could not be guaranteed by the Public Works Department. The reason is: If the district allows this scheme, there is no bribery. The authorities gave negative information about the barrier of this method to Lawyer M.P.Appachu Ranjan. Ranjan once invited and told that the Nailing System was not possible in Madikeri and that with the other technology could be completed by December. At least for the courtesy, officials or representatives did not even contact Satyanarayana Rao or Nagaraj, who had planned for a lower cost. That plan was ended. Wasn't it funded by the rain relief fund? It should have cost for atleast about Rs.1.25 crores....The contractor of Andhra was assigned to work in the barricade, ironing and placing concrete. DC then paid him Rs. 1.07 crore to close the pot and fill the concrete!
