Residents in the Kolar Road area of the state capital were in for a surprise on Saturday morning as legislator Rameshwar Sharma conducted a nearly four-hour-long walking inspection of ongoing development projects in their neighbourhood.
Sharma oversaw the ongoing construction of the Rs 305 crore Kolar six-lane road project, which is nearing completion. The legislator issued directives to officials to iron out deficiencies in the ongoing work and instructed them to expedite the opening of the old Sarvdharma Bridge.
Officials from PWD, the Municipal Corporation, Police, and the electricity company accompanied Sharma as he inspected the Kolar six-lane and Danish Kunj-Shahpura four-lane roads.
The MLA instructed that the work on the Sarvdharma Bridge be completed immediately. He also called for the completion and activation of the street lighting work.
The new Sarvdharma Bridge is fully operational, while repairs are being carried out on the old bridge. One part of the old bridge is still not open to traffic.
Other notable instructions issued by the BJP leader include the rapid construction of parking spaces in the area and the installation of street lights in the high-traffic zones between Sarvdharma and Chuna Bhatti.Speaking at the conclusion of the inspection, Sharma expressed optimism that the entire project would be completed by the New Year.
