10 feet wide road
CMC had decided to construct seven feet wide concrete road earlier. However, now it has decided to lay 10 feet wide road. Instead of laying slab for footpath, it has been decided to extend road by three feet wide. This will avoid disruption in vehicular movement once again while constructing footpath. CMC will have to bear addition Rs 26 lakh for the extension of concrete road for additional three feet wide. District-level implementation committee has decided to bear the cost from the CMC fund for the time being. Later, grant of Rs 26 lakh will be raised from Karnataka Moolabhootha Saulabhya Abhivridhi Nigama.
