ROAD WIDENING HAUNTS RESIDENTS

Madikeri March 16, 2010

The decision by the City municipal Council to widen the Mahadevpet road and Ganapathy street is creating turmoil and the residents, supported by few councilors from Congress have appealed to hold a special meeting.

A delegation collecting the signature of the residents, especially the merchants have approached the speaker K.G.Bopaiah and requested him to postpone the widening plan as it will imbalance the life style.

A special meeting on this 19th to take a decision. Meanwhile few writ petitions by the residents against the order will also come for hearing at High Court on this 18th.

There are about 1200 houses and several business establishments in both the roads which would be trimmed and congress members are also appealing to the Deputy Commissioner re consider the decision.

The CMC had passed a resolution for widening of the road in the presence of opposition congress members a month ago. However, a section of the members are now stating that they are opposed to it. Former president of Town Municipal Council, K.G.Harish said that he is not supporting his own members and he needs development.
