Members of the Congress party staged a protest in Shivamogga on Tuesday alleging that the Smart City project works taken up in the city were of poor quality. The havoc created following the recent rains was itself proof of the sub-standard work in the city, they alleged.
Under the leadership of District Congress Committee president H.S. Sundaresh, the party workers staged dharna on Kuvempu Road. They raised slogans against the BJP rule in Karnataka and the city corporation. During the rains last week, several localities were inundated. Minister for Sericulture K.C. Narayana Gowda, who is also the minister in-charge of the district, visited the rain-hit areas on Monday.
