Motorists can soon heave a sigh of relief as the much delayed steel bridge at Shivananda Circle is nearing completion and is set to be opened for the public by the end of November. This is provided rains do not play spoilsport.
Senior civic officials said that assembling one of the down ramps and asphalting the flyover was remaining and would be completed in 15 days. “It should have been completed by now. But the rains have delayed work. We are waiting for a stretch of rain free days to especially finish the asphalting work,” said Lokesh, Executive Engineer, BBMP, in-charge of the project.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who also holds charge of Bengaluru Development, will likely inaugurate the flyover by November end, senior officials said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
