Hi friends,
In my earlier posts i explained you how we were cheated in NHDP programme, where the 4 laning of the stretch between Bangalore-Chittoor-ranipet of NH4 was left out deliberately. As things went this way, The Minister of state for surface transport K.H. Muniyappa from Kolar got the stretch of Bangalore to Mulbagal stretch of NH4 sanctioned. The works are about to get completed till Mulbagal. Now only the stretch between Nangali to ranipet is leftout.. During polls another minister TR Baalu has said in a press conference that as the 4 laning is about to complete, they will now take up widening of nangali to ranipet via chittoor and the road between Chittoor and Tirupathi(www.hindu.com/2009/01/19/stories/2009011954670500.htm.) This created lot of hopes for the people of chittoor district, as the 4 laning will bring better transport, better connectivity and large scope for industrial and economic development to their door steps. But dont get carried away folks. These proposals are ready only for survey work. Unless some of our MPs and Other elected representatives put political pressure in delhi circles, this project will take minimun 5 years to start. By that time all other national highways will already be 4 laned and once again we will be the last with our begging bowls.
Regarding the first 4 lane road to come up in chittoor, it is the part of chittoor-puttur road. This road is to be widened with 4 lane configaration in chittoor town from FCI to THANA junction.The rest of the road from THANA Jn to Puttur will be 2 laned with paved shoulders(similar to the road now existing between Putalapattu and Tirupathi). This project is funded by world bank and the road works are to begin by september.
great work buddy. I would participate more to encourage you, and lets c how many will participate.
