Digging up roads routine in city
Digging up new concrete roads in Mangaluru has become routine, with MG Road being the latest addition. The road has been dug up for laying underground cables by Mescom, causing traffic snarls. Kodialguthu road, connecting MG Road, has also been dug up again to replace the interlocks with concrete pavement. The opposition in the MCC council is insisting that the contractors work day and night to minimize inconvenience. The issue will be brought to the attention of the urban development minister, who will be holding a development review meeting at the MCC.
