Mysuru: MP Pratap Simha took the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials to task for unnecessarily spending public money by taking up the ten-lane road work of just 590 metre at a cost of Rs. 5 crore near Columbia Asia Hospital junction.
Addressing the media after the inspection of the ten-lane road work and gathering information from the officials yesterday, he said that even though the NHAI officials knew that in another three months the work on the ten-lane Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway work is going to start and a flyover is going to come up near the Columbia Asia Hospital junction from Hotel Atrium, still the officials have gone ahead with the work. He wondered why the money was being unnecessarily spent when they knew that the road has to be dug up again for the flyover work.
