Kushalnagar, Nov. 11: The work has been progressing slowly for the last two years due to various reasons and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The work of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation's Kushalnagar unit, which is being built on about 4 acres of land in Basavanahalli limits on the Kushalnagar-Madikeri road at a cost of Rs. 8 crore, was hampered due to incessant rains.
Now, many works including the new unit's administrative department office, mechanized department workshop, bus repair bay are nearing completion.
The construction work of the compound around the unit's premises has been completed. The rest of the work is progressing in full swing to provide a security room building, petrol station and most of the basic facilities.
Engineer Pawan, who is in charge of the construction, responded to ‘Shakti’ by saying that the work has been delayed due to the delay in clearing the trees that had grown in this place, which originally belonged to the Forest Department, and due to continuous rains for six months.
He said that the speed of the work was hampered because the large vehicles were getting stuck in the mud while transporting materials due to the coldness of the forest terrain.
He said that the work is going on continuously as the rainfall has decreased for the last two weeks.
Reacting in this way, Madikeri constituency MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda said that the work will be completed by the end of December this year. The State Transport Minister has already visited the site and inspected it. He said that the work of dedicating the unit to the public will be done immediately.
Locals have expressed the opinion that if the much-awaited Kushalnagar depot of the Karnataka Road Transport Corporation is inaugurated soon, it will provide more facilities to the transport corporation and benefit thousands of passengers.
Haribabu, the officer of Puttur division of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, visited the site and inspected the work and instructed to complete the work as soon as possible.
Now, the Mysore-Kushalnagar four-lane highway work has also started and it will connect to the Madikeri highway near Anekad in front of this unit.
In the wake of all these developments, the villages under the Basavanahalli, Guddehosur, Hoskote limits are sure to move towards rapid growth and development. The Road Transport Corporation officials need to get to work to complete the Kushalnagar bus depot work, which has been stalled for the past many years, and dedicate it to the public.
