Lady Hill-Kottara Chowki Road to get a facelift
Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) will develop six gardens in four wards in the city at an estimated cost of ₹50.50 lakh, according to MUDA chairman Ravishankar Mijar.
Mr. Mijar told The Hindu that two gardens will be developed in Kambla Ward (No 29) by spending ₹16.40 lakh. They are near Hotel Janata Deluxe and near Guttama Sthana in the same ward.
In addition, two more [Vivekananda] parks will be developed in Kodialbail ward (No 30) at an estimated cost of ₹4.10 lakh.
He said that Mathais Park in Milagres Ward (No 47) will be developed by spending ₹5.50 lakh. The development of Marutinagar Park in Hosabettu ward (No 8) will cost ₹24.50 lakh.
The MUDA chairman said that orders have been released for garden development works. However, the works are yet to begin.
Mr. Mijar said that the MUDA will develop the Brahmashree Narayana Guru Circle at Lady Hill (popularly known as Lady Hill Circle). A bronze metal statue of social reformer Narayana Guru will be installed at the circle. A mini garden will be developed at the circle and a fountain will be installed.
Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) officially named the circle after the social reformer last month. The fully developed circle will be inaugurated this September 25.
