A Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) in Mysuru has persuaded the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to lay utility ducts underneath before asphalting a road so that the freshly tarred carriageway is not dug up repeatedly for water, Underground Drainage (UGD) and other utility connections to new houses.
After MUDA took up work on widening and reconstructing the 80 feet road running for nearly a kilometre between B and C Block in Vijaynagar 3 rd Stage in Mysuru, the local RWA feared that the road would invariably be dug up to lay utilities in the coming days as construction was yet to be taken up on 52 plots.
They approached the local MLA G.T. Deve Gowda as well as MUDA officials with a proposal to lay the required underground pipelines for water, UGD and other utility connections, like electricity, telephone and even broadband, before laying the bitumen surface of the road.
