Mysuru MP Pratap Simha and Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) chairman H.V. Rajeev met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in Mysuru on Monday and urged him to provide Central government funding for the proposed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) around Mysuru.
Mr. Simha and Mr. Rajeev met Mr. Gadkari when the latter paid a visit to Suttur Mutt here. Mr. Rajeev said they urged Mr. Gadkari to provide funding to the PRR project under a Central government project.
Questions had long been raised over the funding for the proposed PRR, which is expected to come up at a distance of 5 to 6 km from the existing Outer Ring Road and have a length of 73.5 km, which requires a total of 824 acres of land.
