MCC to acquire land for multi-layer parking in Hampankatta

Addressing a press meet, he said the commercial complex cum car parking will come up in the old bus stand in Hampankatta.  The S L Shet Diamond House land will be acquired as the owners have failed to hand over the land for the proposed complex. Once the land is acquired, tenders will be called.

Environment Engineer Manjunath said according to the new proposal, three contract agencies will handle the solid waste management in the jurisdiction of Mangalore City Corporation in three packages. The 60 wards in the MCC limits will be divided into 2 zones viz—North and South zone.

The North zone will have 29 wards and South zone will have 31 wards.  The third package will cover operation and maintenance of compost plant and sanitary land fill site at Pacchanady. A global tender has been invited for the same.

Dumping yard

To a query on fire at dumping yard in Pacchanady, Commissioner Dr Vijayaprakash said the garbage dumped on the sanitary land fill site will be covered scientifically with clay layer.

At present, it has not been covered scientifically. An exhaust pipe will also be laid in the vicinity, he added.

Roads

Mayor Shanker Bhat said 32 roads with a length of 36 kms are being concreted in the city limits at an estimated cost of Rs 98 crore. As much as Rs 7 crore has been set aside for asphalting of the interior roads.

As none of the contractors are coming forward to asphalt the road, interlock will be laid to all the interior roads. Tender has already been invited in this regard.  The concreting of 22 roads have been completed in the City, said Executive Engineer Rajashekar.
