Mangaluru: MLA J R Lobo inaugurated the newly concretized road at Bejai 7th cross here on December 17. Lokayukta had given a go-ahead after irregularities were alleged in the road development work.
The condition of the road at Ward No.32, 7th cross, Bejai was pathetic and temporary repairs did not help the cause. Three years ago, an anonymous person had written to Lokayukta over irregularities and low quality patch work of potholes on the road. This delayed the concretisation of the road despite Rs 32 lac sanctioned from SFC grant for the same.
After a long battle at the court, Lokayukta gave the green signal and submitted a report in January after inspecting the road.
Speaking on the occasion Corporator Lancelot Pinto said, “This is a great occasion for us that the newly concretised road is being inaugurated. This will provide a sigh of relief for the pedestrians. Locals have been patient enough and supported us well. Mangaluru is being developed and MLA J R Lobo is showing keen interest towards developing the city.”
