Minister for Urban Development B.A. (Byrati) Basavaraj has promised that early approval will be given for projects worth ₹240 crore that include repair, relaying of roads and works on underground drainage network, in Hubballi-Dharwad. Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Wednesday after reviewing progress of projects under various government schemes, Mr. Basavaraj said that the municipal corporation had submitted a proposal for projects worth ₹240 crore and soon, funds will be released.

It will be completed in one month. Bengeri Market development is also in the final stages and work on the Janata Bazaar market will be completed by December-end. The new fish market at Ganeshpet will be completed by September-end,” he said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
