DC Mullai Muhilan Directs MSCL to Take Possession of Land for Netravathi Riverfront Promenade Project

Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner M.P. Mullai Muhilan has asked MSCL to acquire the balance land and complete the work on riverfront promenade between Nethravati bridge and the Bolar Sea Face at the earliest. DC Muhilan said tenders were finalised a year ago for the project and MSCL officials will be held responsible for any delay in its completion.

MSCL General Manager (Technical) K.S. Arun Prabha said the company is yet to take possession of about 300 m of the land earmarked for the promenade. While port officials have assured of terminating the lease of land to a tiles factory and a boat construction yard, MSCL is working on the available 1,800 m land.
