Why it matters
Government commitment to stalled infrastructure projects is a key indicator of regional development and political accountability.
Minister for Excise K.M. Shivalinge Gowda, who is also the Minister in-charge of Hassan district, has said he will give attention to completing four major pending works concerning Hassan, in coordination with all elected representatives, irrespective of party affiliation.
In a press conference in Hassan on Wednesday, the Minister said the construction of Hassan Airport had been delayed. Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda had laid the foundation stone for the project long ago. “Without going into the details of why it has been delayed, we will ensure the project is completed. I have raised the issue in a recent meeting with the Chief Minister as well,” he said.
Similarly, the Minister said he would make efforts to secure funds from the government to complete the construction of the super-speciality hospital, and would request the Chief Minister to release the funds required to complete the project in one go.
