Srirangapatna: Over 150 villagers sat on a dharna at Pump House Circle demanding repair of KRS Road, the works of which have come to a standstill. The protesters said that Rs. 9.4 crore was sanctioned for the repair works and ‘guddali puja’ was also performed about 4 months ago.
Though the works commenced, only about 2-km stretch from Bird Sanctuary towards Palahalli was completed and the works came to a standstill as stone crushers began their protest which hampered the supply of jelly stones, they said. Works on about 3 to 4-km stretch has not been taken up, they added. Though the stone crushers withdrew their protest after CM Bommai assured of solving their problems, the PWD officials have not taken up the works and are still giving reasons of non supply of jelly stones, they alleged.
