Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole has inaugurated four new footbridges in his constituency, three of which were constructed using recycled truck chassis to provide cost-effective and rapid infrastructure solutions. The project is part of a charitable initiative aimed at improving connectivity for local residents.
Why it matters
The use of recycled materials for public infrastructure offers a low-cost, scalable model for rural development and connectivity in underserved regions.
Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole inaugurated four footbridges, including three made of old truck chassis with assistance from Dr. R. Arunachalam Charitable Trust, Bengaluru, in his constituency on July 15.
The ones constructed with the assistance from the Trust are located in Kupparu Battihaklu in Shankaranarayana village, Basriberu in Jadkal village, and Kakkanapalu Ayyappanajaddu in Hosangadi village.
One more footbridge, built by the Public Works Department of the government of Karnataka at an estimated cost of ₹8 lakh, at Kupparu was also inaugurated by the MLA.
After inaugurating the footbridge at Kupparu, Mr. Gantihole told reporters that he has plans to get at least 50 cost-effective bridges across the constituency in the coming days with assistance from the Trust. He thanked Captain Ramesh Arunachalam, the trustee, and other office-bearers of the Trust, for their concern towards residents of Byndoor constituency.
