‘Upgrade road’ in bidar

Activist Gurunath Wadde has urged the State government to upgrade the Bidar-Aurad road to a double-lane road. The State is indifferent to the problems of Hyderabad Karnataka, he told presspersons here on Wednesday. The road is 5.5 metres wide from Bidar to Koutha; but from Koutha to Aurad, it is just 3.5 metres wide. It is an important road in the district as it connects a taluk headquarters to the district headquarters. A significant portion of the district’s total traffic passes through this road, he added. Mr. Wadde stated that he had approached the High Court in this matter, and it had directed the Public Works Department to improve the road. At least now the government should act, Mr. Wadde said.
