    Where its mentioned January 15 for the year 2018..........? No wonder once in a year January 15 will come for sure. Just wait buddys. I am reading Shirady ghat (saliva pasting) repair/permanent solution topics on media for past 3+ decades. Every 5 years prior to elections there is some media hype on shirady ghat issue. Only two issues are common in this part prior to elections @ communal tension n sharady tension. No solutions for both till now. World is talking about landing on moon but we still dont have an all season road network to capital city from gateway of Karnataka. What a shame on political leaders on this region!!!!!

    (JICA) has come forward to offer the financial assistance of Rs 15,000 crore for this purpose. Please award the job to their recommended Japanese company! Our regular contractors will make a mess of the project and job and delivery of sub standard (Kalape Kamagari). If the money is paid directly by lender to their own Japanese company will certainly give a road that will last more than 100 years. Our contractors will make sure repair needed before inauguration! Government will end up spending more than that of foreign company in 5 years including repairs! This way corruption can be fully eliminated. In future government can set standard based on these Japanese company.
