Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said that Bengaluru is all set to get Rs 1,100 crore for repair and construction of roads. The fund would be used to make the city pothole-free, he said.
In a post on X, Shivakumar wrote, "Bengaluru is set for a major push in road development with ₹1,100 crore allocated for repair and construction. We are committed to ensuring every constituency benefits from these funds and to building smooth, pothole-free roads across the city."
He mentioned Rs 50 crore has been approved for each of 14 assembly constituencies, while the remaining constituencies will receive Rs 25 crore each.
On Sunday, he also asked BJP MPs of the state to put pressure on the Centre and bring funds for the implementation of irrigation projects.
