MANGALURU
The Karnataka Legislative Assembly’s Public Enterprises Committee has requested twelve hundred fifty crore rupees to upgrade Mangaluru’s broken drainage network. Committee Chairman T. Raghumurthy announced that a detailed review report will be submitted during the July assembly session in Belagavi. The decision follows a citywide inspection, where lawmakers found half-finished drainage systems and untreated sewage spilling directly into local rivers. Local officials stated the current network was built decades ago for a tiny population. The newly proposed funding aims to completely overhaul sixty city wards to safely support eight lakh residents by 2046.
