Govt prepares blueprint to construct 100 footbridges annually
Chikkamagaluru: The govt has prepared a blueprint to construct 100 footbridges annually in the state. Work has begun to construct 20 of these with a grant of Rs 20 crore, according to Public Works minister Satish Jarkiholi. A grant of Rs 1 crore was earlier allocated to construct footbridges in the 36 assembly segments in the state, the minister told reporters in Halase village of Mudigere taluk on Friday. Surveys are currently on to assess the extent of damage to roads, bridges, crops, and other properties and infrastructure due to pre-monsoon rains in the Malnad region. Relief efforts will be initiated as soon as the survey report is in, he said. Chief minister Siddaramaiah will hold a meeting with all deputy commissioners and zilla panchayat CEOs to discuss rain damage and initiate necessary action. Since 2019, this region has suffered damages to its infrastructure due to heavy rain. Some areas have also experienced landslides. Most of the damage has been rectified, with bridge construction underway in some places, the minister said.

Necessary funding will also be provided. In 2014, construction of 40 bridges in various parts of the state were approved. Out of these, 20 have been completed, while work is in progress on the rest. Among those is the bridge on Hemavati river, at Bettadmane village, work on which is stuck for the last 11 years owing to technical bottlenecks. Meanwhile, in view of increased human-animal run-ins, a fencing will be erected over a 100 km stretch around forested land in the region. Barricade construction is already underway in Gundlupete, Hassan, and other places. A blueprint was prepared for the construction of barricades in forested areas – particularly those inhabited by wild elephants. An elephant corridor will be created, providing food and water to the jumbos, the minister said. Hassan MP Shreyas Patel, MLAs T D Rajegowda, H D Thammaiah, Nayana Motamma, former minister B B Ningaiah, and superintendent of police Vikram Amte were present.
