Mandya: Hours after hundreds of farmers and villagers had blocked the newly constructed Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway for nearly four hours at Hanakere on Mandya-Maddur stretch of the National Highway-275 seeking construction of an underpass at Hanakere, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has assured of taking up underpass construction works in two months.
In a letter written to Mandya SP (dated Feb.20, 2023), the General Manager (Project Director) of NHAI - PIU, Ramanagara, said that the NHAI had recommended the proposal for construction of underpass at Hanakere village (Km - 88.605) of Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway, which is under consideration by the Competent Authority of NHAI at Delhi. Accordingly, after receiving the approval which is awaited, NHAI will take up underpass works in two months and thus facilitate movement of farmers, the letter said.
