To beautify Kundapur town, TMC had taken ADB loan and had utilised Rs 26.25 crore for the developmental works. Of which Rs 2.5 crore were utilised for repairing drainages. However, owing to the negligence of the then in-charge official, poor quality of works have been implemented.
TMC President Mohandas Shenoy said: “We will lay underground drainage in a systematic manner. A survey is being conducted by private agency at an estimated cost of Rs 10 lakh. After submitting the report to the government, with the help of District-in-Charge Minister, MLA, an effort will be made to get the project sanction from the government. We need to purchase private land for the construction of water tank,” he added.
