Finally, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel Inaugurates Pumpwell Flyover
Mangaluru: The much-awaited, long pending Pumpwell Flyover was finally inaugurated by the MP of Dakshina Kannada Nalin Kumar Kateel and District Minister In-charge Kota Srinivas Poojary on January 31.
After the inauguration, Nalin Kumar Kateel, Kota Srinivas Poojary along with others walked the stretch of the flyover.
Addressing the gathering Nalin Kumar Kateel said, “Today we have inaugurated the Pumpwell Flyover and dedicated it to the public. I have been the MP from 2009 and I have got an opportunity to inaugurate many projects. The B C Road to Mukka highway work was delayed for 12 years. When Ponnuraj was the DC, we had filed cases against the authorities. Criticism is not the treatment for the delay. In the Pumpwell flyover, the construction work was delayed and those who lost the elections criticized me. When Oscar Fernandes was the Minister why they did not complete the flyover work? Now they are protesting against it. The work was delayed because of Congress. The Navyug company has done some of the work very quickly, but the Pumpwell flyover work was delayed because of financial problems. Now since the work has been completed I wish all of them using the flyover safe ride/drive.”
Nalin further said, “Those who protested against the delay in Pumpwell flyover, they themselves had brought a stay for the work and in Thokkottu, the MLA of Ullal had brought stay to demolish 6 more buildings. If U T Khader is really interested in the development work, let he demolish those 6 buildings. The Congress leaders are the main reason for the delay in the Pumpwell flyover work. The MCC and the former MLA are the reason for the delay in the Pumpwell flyover work. The same leaders have criticized, I would like to thank them for their criticism because of which the Pumpwell work has been completed 6 months earlier than the date given by the central government by Navyug”.
District Minister In-charge Kota Srinivas Poojary also spoke and congratulate MP Nalin for dedicating the Pumpwell flyover to the public.
MLA Vedavyas Kamath delivered the vote of thanks.
