Nalin Kumar Kateel Promises Completion of Thokkottu-Pumpwell Flyover by July End

Mangaluru: “The Thalapady – Kundapura National Highway passing through Thokuttu and Pumpwell has been undergoing construction at a faster rate since the past six months. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had sent officials from the Central Government to speed up the construction. I have worked and obtained a loan of 55 Crore rupees from the Central Government for this purpose. However, because of the election, the work had slowed down. Now that the election is over, the work has resumed. After inspecting the work at Thokuttu, I can say that 98 percent has been completed there. The work there will be completed by June 10th” said Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel at the Pumpwell flyover here, on May 29.

Addressing the mediapersons Nalin Kumar said, “All the machinery has been relocated to the Pumpwell flyover here. In another month, all the flyover construction in Udupi, Padubidri, and Thokuttu will be completed. By the end of July, the Pumpwell flyover will also be complete. All the state and central level officials have agreed to finish the underpass work within a month including service roads. I will be inspecting the progress of the work every ten days.”

Nalin further said, “The work will continue in the rainy season as well. Nowhere in the world is it possible for the government to give a loan to its own MP. But I have worked and obtained a loan for this project. That is why the project is happening at a faster rate. In Dakshina Kannada, the work had stopped for some time due to elections. But we will complete our work.”
