Mysuru MP Pratap Simha on Saturday said that the company entrusted with the task of laying the pipeline for supplying cooking gas directly to homes will repair the roads in the city that will be dug up to lay the pipeline.
Addressing a press conference after party MLAs from Mysuru – S.A. Ramdas representing Krishnaraja constituency and L. Nagendra representing Chamaraja – expressed concern over the damage to the roads due to laying of the pipeline, he said the State Government has already issued orders on the fees and specifications for repair of roads that will be dup up during the project.
The road cutting charges vary based on the roads – cement road, asphalted road, mud road, major district roads etc. The State Government’s order issued in 2020 has fixed ₹1,857 for repair of every metre of road where open trenches had been dug up and ₹700 for every metre of horizontal directional drilling, besides ₹100 per metre as supervision charges in City Corporation limits.
