DPR of Rs 25 crore cleared for Chandramouleshwar Temple
Hubballi: Soon, the detailed project report (DPR) for the development of the historic Chandramouleshwar Temple located at Unkal in Hubballi will be sent to the govt.
The urban development department has already responded positively to the development of the temple, and a DPR with an estimated cost of Rs 25.5 crore has also been prepared.
Rs 18 crore has been suggested in the DPR to acquire the land in front and behind the temple, and the remaining Rs 7 crore will be spent on developing the temple.
Sixty-eight properties around the temple have been identified for acquisition.
A meeting was already held with senior officials of the govt, MLA Mahesh Tenginakai, district administration, municipal corporation, revenue, tourism, and other departments.
The proposal has been sent to the Urban Development Department. Permission from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is needed for the development of the temple.
Sharanabasappa Kembhavi, assistant executive engineer, HDMC, Zone-5, said that the corporation has surveyed the area around the temple and identified the areas that need to be acquired. "Compensation should be provided to the families living in the acquired areas. We have to get an NOC from ASI. They have said to conduct a joint survey with ASK. Soon after getting the NOC, a final DPR will be submitted to the govt," he added.
