Expressing displeasure over the slow pace at which various development works are going on, Minister for Mines and Geology and district in-charge Halappa Achar has directed the officials to work responsibly and discharge their duties properly.
Chairing a review meeting in Dharwad on Tuesday, Mr. Achar also expressed dismay over the slow pace of land survey and land acquisition for widening the bypass road between Dharwad and Hubballi (between Narendra Cross and Gabbur Cross).
He asked officials to expedite the process and ensure early completion of the work to make the road stretch safe.
