Udupi, Mar 25: Hi-tech machinery is essential for executing mega projects. Accordingly, latest machinery is being used to execute the four-lane work along the 75 km from Suratkal to Kundapur. The construction of minor culverts and levelling of the low-lying areas is going on at a fast phase.

Asphalting work has begun on the level stretch. Hot mix plant, the third latest in the country, is ready for asphalt work. It is manufactured on the model supplied by Marini Company from Italy and assembled in China, and will function at Yadtady, near here. It has gone through a test-run and will be pressed into service shortly.

Cost of Plant

It is manufactured by the Fayat Group of Italy and costs nearly Rs 5 crore. It can deliver ready mix of 200 tonnes of bitumen per hour and is operated by four people. It has 64 engines and can functioning both
with fuel and electricity.

The plant takes in gravel, bitumen and other materials on one end and the ready hot mix is directly poured into waiting dumpers on the other side.

The ongoing work on the National Highway (NH) 17 has changed its look. Petty shops located along the highway and trees have been demolished to widen the road. The stretch of NH17 from Suratkal – Kundapur will soon get a new look because of the road work.

    I HOPE- some people always blaming any imports from Italy-would atleast appreciate this import which is benefiting our infrastructure.
    By the way, our first scooter-Vespa, the first mini car-fiat, the first indegenous car-Indica- are all invented & produced with Italian know-how.

    Istead of saying the NH 17 Kundapur-Suratkal will get a new look its better to say that it is getting a desert look.

    The way they have uprooted and eliminated age old shady trees and other vegetation the stretch looks more like Abu Dhabi-Dubai stretch which probably has more greenery!

    Development and 4 laning is necessary but at the same time if the concerned people replant one tree for each one eliminated then it will be a real progress in conserving the nature isnt it?

    Since we cant expect such a noble deed from our authorities how about NGOs scouts, guides church organisations etc from the surrounding places, school-colleges, churches, temples, mosques etc. take over voluntarily a small stretch of the highway and plant alongside variety of trees and plants bearing flowers and fruits?

    I am sure if someone starts such a project help will come from all nature lovers.

    Hope they plant lots of saplings along, otherwise its going to be very hot in the coming 5 years and the people have to move out to cooler places for the summer months to pass
