Highway repair still eludes M’loreans
By CT reporter
MANGALORE : The failure of the authorities in repairing the bad highways and other roads of the city, is slowly turning the people of Mangalore impatient. Today people are questioning why the National Highway Authority, city corporation as well as the PWD have not initiated the repair works of the roads coming under their purview.
The project of widening the 37km stretch of road from Suratkal to BC Road, has still not been taken up. This distance which could otherwise be covered within 35 minutes, is now taking two hours and one hour for the mere 19 km stretch of road from Mangalore to Suratkal, courtesy the extremely bad roads.
The non-repair of the road only means cumbersome travel for the people and extra expenditure for the motorists towarfs spare parts apart from higher fuel consumption.
As if the existing problem is not suffice, it is a smoke of dust on majority of our busy roads as well as highways in turn posing respiratory problems for the nearby shopkeepers.
It is now left to be seen if the authorities would make up their minds to repair the roads at the earliest.
