District In-charge and Large & Medium Scale Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar has asked the officials concerned to start the work of restoring damaged roads immediately after the rains recede, without wasting time in calling tenders.
“In such an emergency situation caused by heavy rains, the provision to get exemption under Section 4(g) of the KTPP Act should be utilised, so that there should be no delay in restoring damaged roads, and other emergency flood relief works,” he said.
Reviewing the progress of flood relief works in the district, at a meeting here on Friday, he contacted Chief Secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar over the phone, and asked him to issue a circular, giving 4(g) exemption for flood relief works.
