Heart care centre for Shimoga

Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda said here on Saturday that the State Government will establish a heart care centre in the city.

ORR in Hassan incomplete even after seven years

Rs 15.35 crore needed to complete pending works

With the strong rumours doing rounds on completion of ‘Outer Ring Road’, the farmers on the outskirts of Hassan are hoping to becoming richer soon, dreaming of selling their lands for a premium.

Whether the ring road will be a reality or not, but the construction of the ring road haunts the residents like a bad dream even after seven years.

The main objective of the ring road was to prevent traffic jam and to reach the bypass road from the B M Road of the town. The nine kilometre stretch ring road begins from the dairy circle touches the Salagame road by completing 3.18 km. Years have passed after this, but no effort or step has been taken to complete the remaining stretch.

According to the plan, the road from Salagame proceeds and connects Devarayanapattana. But the change in governments has affected the works. The officials of Public Works Department explains that the delay in awarding compensation to the farmers whose lands have been acquired for laying a four-lane road is the main reason for the works to be stalled. The works have come to a halt near Salagame and the land owners after this have not been paid compensation.

The farmers are adamant that they would not handover the lands until their compensation has been paid and the amount stands to Rs 1.5 crore. If the pending dues are paid the works would complete by next year, say the officials.

The PWD has prepared a project with an estimation of Rs 15.35 crore including Rs 1.5 crore compensation amount. Earlier, the project was planned at an estimation of Rs eight crore.

Debris

The outer ring road is also a perfect example for how the incomplete works have an impact on the surroundings and the environment. With the hope that ring road will pass through the area, many had purchased sites in the surroundings.

The prices of the lands have skyrocketed and the incomplete works has become a haven for illegal activities. It is a challenge for people to walk on the stretch in the night.

Increasing cases of chain snatching, dacoity and others have been reported at the premises.

Apart from this, the garbage has been dumped on both the sides of the ring road since two years. The waste includes mutton waste, garbage from hotels, dead animals and others and the residents have a tough time to combat the unbearable stench.

If the government sanctions Rs 15.35 crore, the works will be taken on warfooting and completed within a year. The public and elected representatives should lay stress on the same, say the authorities concerned.

Underpass at Shivappa Nayaka Circle to be opened soon

The newly built underpass at Shivappa Nayaka Circle here will be open for public usage shortly.

The formalities related to handing over the underpass from Public Works Department (PWD) to City Municipal Council (CMC) will be completed by first week of March.

The officials of CMC, PWD, the Karnataka State Urban Water Supply and Sewage Board will conduct a joint survey of the structure. After the joint survey, the issue will be deliberated in detail at the meeting of CMC scheduled to be held on March 2. The underpass is likely to be opened for public usage immediately after the meeting of CMC.

The widening of the road and construction of underpass was commenced in 2008 with an objective to ensure easy flow of vehicles on B.H. Road. The underground pass connects Amir Ahmed Circle, Shivappa Nayaka Circle, and Gandhi Bazaar. It was inaugurated by Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on October 13, 2011.

The underpass, which was inaugurated four months ago, was not opened to public because of the delay in handing it over to CMC. The underpass were locked by the authorities. CMC president S.N. Channabasappa told The Hindu over telephone that, issues related to maintaining cleanliness, and security at the underpass would be discussed in the meeting of CMC. Once the underpass was opened, the CMC would deploy security personnel there to avoid nuisance. The meeting would take a decision on the timing of closing the underpass in the night, he said.

Two-way traffic hurdle for motorists in Hassan

Hassan, Feb 26, 2012, DHNS:
Parking impedes vehicles on Shankarmutt road
With Shankarmutt road being opened for movement of two-way traffic, motorists are increasingly being inconvenienced due to the change.

The problem motorists opine is the insufficient width of the road. Having been a one-way for several years and housing several establishments such as hospitals, children’s playhome, shops and even a temple, the road has witnessed a significant increase in traffic. However, the road is yet to be widened causing difficulties for motorists.

The police department, which anticipated traffic woes ensured that parking should be done on one side of the road. They even affixed signboards informing motorists to park according to the day.

Even when the road was open for one-way traffic, police personnel would be posted on the road in order to hold motorists driving from the opposite side. However, with the introduction of two-way traffic, police personnel are yet to be seen on the road.

Following this, People visiting hospitals and other shops on the road park in a haphazard manner inconveniencing motorists. Autos are seen parked on either side of the road.

One of the shopkeepers opined that traffic woes would reduce if vehicles would move from M G road to B M road instead of the existing situation. A larger number of people would benefit from this. 

Also the police department should enforce parking rules on the road to ease the traffic congestion. A move by city municipal council to widen the road would also help motorists.
