Mahesh Tenginkai, Hubballi-Dharwad Central MLA, pulled up Public Works Department (PWD) and National Highways officials on Monday for what he termed as “poor application of the mind” while executing road work under the ongoing elevated road project in Hubballi.
Mr. Tenginkai, who inspected the ongoing flyover project along with officials on Monday, was upset with the construction of a drain that, he said, had narrowed the carriageway and had left excessive space for a footpath beneath the under-construction flyover opposite the Old Bus Station in Hubballi.
He directed the officials to remove the drain and reconstruct it at its original location, adding that this was an example of the irresponsibility of engineers and the unscientific execution of the work.
Questioning the decision to leave a large portion of the available space for the footpath, he asked the officials why the road had been narrowed.
