The two-lane roads within the MCC limits will be made into four lanes. In Mangaluru people face problems because of improper footpaths but in the coming days, this problem will be solved. Circles coming under MCC limits we will also be developed. In recent days the media has been highlighting potholes ridden roads. I request the people to co-operate with us, we have not paid the contractors filling potholes since the patchwork they carry out is damaged the very next day because of the rains. I assure the people that once the rain stops we will immediately repair the roads until then I request all to co-operate with the MCC. We need the support of the people of Mangaluru to develop the city.”
Deputy Mayor Rajaneesh Kapikad, former Mayor Sashidhar Hegde, Parish Priest of Urwa Church Fr Stany Pereira, Corporators Sabitha Misquith and Nagaveni were also present.
