Arya Samaj Road Closed Since Two Years: Work In Progress Upsets Residents

February 17: The work at Arya Samaj Road was taken up about two years ago is still not completed and this has made the residents and business establishments in the area upset.
This road which connects Balmatta with Kadri Road, still remains closed as the work in progress is carried on a slow pace.
Initially the road was closed for the laying interlocking tiles, which was later dug up for the purpose of underground drainage (UGD) works and now the road is closed completely, to convert it into a concrete stretch. This has forced the residents to park their vehicles on the roads.
Mangalore Smart City Limited managing director Mohammed Nazeer said that the work is being expedited and initiatives will be taken to open both roads at the earliest. He mentioned that thew work is nearing completion.
