Madikeri, Dec. 8: The National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) has approved Package-2 of the Rs. 4,126 crore 92.5 km four-lane road construction project from Kushalnagar to Mysore undertaken by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
Against this backdrop, work on the 22.7 km stretch from Basavanahalli in Kushalnagar taluk to Periyapatna, which is part of Package-2, has now begun.
The National Board for Wildlife had not previously given permission due to the wildlife habitat near Basavanahalli, where the Mysore and Kushalnagar National Highway project will be implemented. But since this project is now a public necessity and will reduce traffic congestion, the request of the Highway Authority has received a positive response from the Wildlife
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for this project in Mandya on March 2, 2023. In this project, which is being implemented in 5 packages, the work of the first package has already started. However, the work of Package-2 was delayed due to the delay in the approval of the National Wildlife Board.
The Deputy Conservator of Forests has given a letter of consent to the organization constructing the highway for the implementation of the work being undertaken between Hunsur and Kushalnagar. Against this backdrop, the work of Package-2 has started today. The target is to complete the highway completely in 18 months.
