Expedite work on elevated road at Kittur Chennamma Circle in Hubballi, says MLA
Mr. Tenginakai, who reviewed the progress of the ongoing work in Hubballi on Wednesday, said that while comparatively the pace of the work has gained momentum, there is a need for further increase in the pace of the work.
He said that he last reviewed the work 22 days ago and now, he can see that the pace of the work has increased. 'On July 7, when I reviewed the progress of work, 36 girders were installed and today (July 30), work on 61 girders has been completed on the Chennamma Circle to Basava Vana stretch,' he said.
The MLA said that keeping in mind the fast-approaching Ganesh festival, the officials and the contractors should increase the pace of the work by employing more workers.
Mr. Tenginakai said that he will direct the officials to take up road repair work wherever work on the elevated road has been completed. He said that he will review the work again after 20 days.
Honorary secretary of the Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Ravindra Baligar said that they are satisfied with the increased pace of work and hoped that it will be completed soon.
Shopkeepers and hotel owners also expressed satisfaction over the pace of work.
Various officials, including Satish Naganur, Ramesh Navali, and others briefed the MLA about the project during his visit.

Crafted from Plaster of Paris (PoP)—a lightweight, detail-friendly material—the statues have been his livelihood since 2005. 'If I shut down this business, what will I do?' asks the 35-year-old father of two. 'I have no other skills.'

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis to inaugurate dabbawallahs' museum in Bandra today
MUMBAI: The classic dabbawallah dressed in white kurta pyjama and Gandhi cap embodies a tradition that is older than Ganeshotsav. The tiffin service began in 1890 while public Ganesh celebrations started in 1893. The fire may be spent but the embers still glow. The dabbawallah community is still proud of the profession which transports home-cooked meals to students and office goers amid modern day food app deliveries. From handcarts to bicycles and public trains, their journey is one of swift, well coded efficiency. On Thursday chief minister Devendra Fadnavis will inaugurate a museum dedicated to the dabbawallahs of Mumbai that showcases their 135-year history and trade practices. The Dabbawallah International Experience Centre, as it is called, is located near Rizvi College, Bandra. It includes plaques and installations, and a portrait of Mahadevrao Bachche, who founded the business. Funds were sanctioned by Fadnavis and MLA Shrikant Bharti facilitated the setup.

Another union leader Ulhas Muke said the museum spans the history as well as prospects of the trade led by its Six Sigma rating that is an example to businesses worldwide. The dabbawallahs have been included in the IIM syllabus and given TedX Talks and lectures in universities abroad, apart from famously being appreciated by King Charles and invited to royal weddings in the UK. Another union leader Subhash Talekar said, "We appreciate the CM for his monetary grant for this museum. I feel he should walk the talk and grant affordable homes for a sum of Rs 10 lakh to dabbawallahs instead of Rs 25 lakh that they are currently allotted in Bhiwandi. Our boys barely earn Rs 20,000 per month. How can they afford Rs 25 lakh homes, and which bank will grant them loans?" Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
