GULBARGA: Potholes are being filled up and roads are being asphalted in Gulbarga city in the run-up to the State Cabinet meeting scheduled for October 4.
The Gulbarga City Corporation authorities have taken up repairs of the main road connecting the railway station to Jagat Circle, the road leading to Iwan-e-Shahi Government Guest House and the road leading to the Gulbarga University. Hotels in which Ministers and ministerial staff will be staying are located on the main road connecting the railway station to Jagat Circle. Some of the Ministers and ministerial staff will be staying in the university guest house and the Chief Minister and some senior Ministers will be staying in the Iwan-e-Shahi Government Guest House.
However, what has surprised many is that only roads to be used by the VIPs are being repaired. Deputy Commissioner R. Vishal said on Tuesday that there was nothing unusual in taking up repairs of these roads. “We were waiting for dry weather for taking up pothole filling,” he said.
Rs. 25 crore
Apart from filling up potholes on all roads in the city, the city corporation proposes to repair link roads to new localities at a cost of Rs. 25 crore, Dr. Vishal said.
