MANGALURU: Urban development minister Byrathi Basavaraj on Tuesday questioned the officials of the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC), and Mangaluru Smart City Ltd (MSCL) on the debris dumped on roads that have been dug up. He expressed dismay over the extent to which this has inconvenienced commuters.
Basavraj on Tuesday took stock of the various projects being implemented across the coastal city by MSCL, MCC, Mangaluru Urban Development Authority and the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation. He directed all the agencies to ensure that the debris dumped on the roads was cleared in a month.
“Many concrete roads have also been dug up for various projects. Not only does it inconvenience commuters, but the government also incurs a loss as a result. Roads dug for various development projects must be fixed in a month. I will inspect the roads again in a month’s time, and action will be taken against the officials concerned if the debris is not cleared,” the minister said.
Basavaraj also asked the officials concerned to ensure that the coastal city remained spic and span. “There should be no black spots in the city,” said the minister, directing MCC commissioner Akshy Sridhar to visit each ward and take steps to clear garbage black spots.
