Encroachment delays road development work in Shiragavara

Despite building a bridge across River Hemavathi to provide connectivity to the state highway passing through Shiragavara village, Hassan, the work is not serving the purpose as there is no connecting road.

The work on the bridge was carried out spending crores of rupees in Kodlipet Gram Panchayat limits, four years ago.

But, the development work of the road was pending for a long time as the road has been allegedly encroached upon.
Officials inspected the encroached road on Tuesday.

An action plan was prepared three years ago to construct a one-kilometre road stretch to provide connectivity from Kelakodlu to the bridge. Even though the tender was passed two years ago, two persons have allegedly encroached the road.
