Pemmasani assures swift completion of Guntur Inner Ring Road phase-3 works

Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar said on Saturday that the Mahatma Gandhi Inner Ring Road phase-3 works, from Shilparamam to Pedapalakaluru, would be completed expeditiously.

Inspecting the works along with GMC Commissioner K. Mayur Ashok, Prathipadu MLA Burla Ramanjaneyulu and local leaders, Mr. Pemmasani said that the 4.25-km project was being executed at a cost of ₹48 crore. He said that issues involving occupants along the alignment had been resolved after the coalition government assumed office, enabling the works to begin.

He said that raising the road level at some locations required shifting high-tension wires, which would involve an estimated additional expenditure of ₹2-3 crore. Additional culverts would also be required at NSP Canal crossings to ensure uninterrupted water flow, with each costing about ₹10-15 lakh. The contractor had been asked to undertake such works within the present project wherever possible.
