In order to allow a free flow of traffic, it has been decided to widen a two­lane bridge close to the Mahaveera Circle. The bridge widening work is estimated to cost Rs one crore.

MCC Superintendent Engineer and Deputy Commissioner (Development) B.T.Kantharaj has informed that special grant of Rs 100 crore from the Chief Minister would be utilized for the project.

But BJP corporator Premananda Shetty opposed to this decision to use the special grants for the bridge widening and said, the grant was meant for the new bus terminus at Pumpwell.

In reply, Kantharaj revealed that if this grant is not utilized in the current financial year, this grant would lapse.
