Mangaluru, 05 Jun 2018: After floods in the city, MCC removed the cement slabs which had covered a raja kaluve (main storm-water drain) the National Highway 66 in Kottara chowki, for easy movement of the drain.

 

The slabs were removed from eight places here on Monday.

 

Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil S. has asked a team headed by the Commissioner of Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to inspect the major storm-water drains joining the Nethravathi from Jeppinamogaru and the Phalguni from Kottara Chowki for encroachments and submit a report.

 

Senthil has stated that the encroachments would be removed based on the findings of the report.
