Anjali Nimbalkar, Mla from Khanapur on Tuesday met Minister of Road transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari in Delhi office.
She met Minister to submit the request letter and discuss regarding the pathetic condition of NH748 (Old NH4A) near Khanapur taluk which is causing inconvenience for the people here.
In a letter, Mla has mentioned – ‘I would like to bring your serious attention towards the pathetic condition of National Highway 748 from Belagavi to Goa. Fifty two kilometres of road passes through my constituency Khanapur in Karnataka and the widening work is undertaken by NHAI for the same for years now.’
‘The road from Khanapur to Ramnagar in particular is in very bad condition and the contractor has not even bothered to make a service road for emergent medical services to be attended during the ongoing pandemic days. The abject neglect by Central Government, NHAI and other responsible agencies have thrown the daily life people from surrounding nearly forty villages to the toss with no one to care for them. Central Government & the State Government have miserably failed to provide effective solution to the woos and issues faced by the farmers, patients, pregnant women in particular and people in general from my constituency. I have already flagged the issue by writing letters to Deputy Commissioner, Belagavi, Supdt of Police, Belagavi and Project Director, NHAI Dharwad, Karnataka but the insensitive bureaucracy working under non responsive central and state governments is of no help to my people.’

With south west monsoon setting in and my constituency being one of the highest rain fall areas of India; the life of people with such man made disaster; you may hopefully understand and do the needful’ Mla mentioned in the letter.
