Why it matters
Infrastructure development is critical for managing urban growth and supporting tourism in heritage cities like Mysuru.
Former Minister and MLA Tanveer Sait on Saturday launched white-topping work on the 2.2-km stretch from Manipal Hospital Circle to Millennium Circle here.
Speaking after launching the work, Mr. Sait said the State government had released funds through the Public Works Department (PWD) for white-topping 12 major roads in the city, considering the increasing volume of vehicular traffic.
He said the foundation stone for the project had been laid earlier when Siddaramaiah was Chief Minister. Following the preparation of the technical report, works that can be completed before Dasara are being taken up. Three roads in the N.R. constituency are being developed under the project.
The 2.2-km stretch from Manipal Hospital Circle to Millennium Circle would be completed before Dasara and opened to traffic, Mr. Sait said.
