New ray of hope for Belgaum Ring road
10:46 PM Posted by ukmad
At last, there is something happening concerning the Ring road, which has now become a necessity. The heavy vehicles traffic on Khanapur Road and Congress road and in the city would be diverted once this ring road is built. Hope this time tenders come in and some one commences work at the earliest.
Details of the Tender are available at http://www.eproc.karnataka.gov.in/.
No doubt this is an invite for only a detailed project report, we should hope it will be done at the earliest.

In my earlier posts, I had mentioned about Belgaum Ring Road and many had asked the map to know how it would be.
So here is the map. It is not to scale, it is just indicative in nature.

Belgaum ring road: Still a Dream

1) Hindalga-Peeranwadi-Halga
2) Hindalga-Kakti-Halga
Total ring road length 38 kms.
Ring road breadth 100 feet
285 acres of land needed
Rs.1425 lakh for land acquisition
Ring road total expenditure Rs.30 crores
10 years ago, the plan for the ring road was prepared. Imagine, since ten years nothing has happened on ground; only papers have changed places and this road, which will be a boon to traffic, will remain a dream.
A jaipur-based company was allotted the contract for the project but it was cancelled and a new process for obtaining was commenced.
The BUDA chairman has attributed the cause for this delay to the elections. A state run enterprise is likely to do the said project this time.
May it be a state run enterprise or a private company, Belgaumites need that ring road as the movement of heavy vehicles will be diverted on to the new road giving the regular traffic some more space on the roads.
This road can avoid the enormous accidents that happen on the Udyambag road. In addition, vehicles going to Goa from Kolhapur etc can directly take the new road and avoid heavy traffic in city limits. It is the case with people from Goa to Kolhapur, if they divert from Peeranwadi they will join the NH 4 at Kakti. Towards Bangalore, you can join Halga on NH 4.
Pray to Lord that, this present govt will look into this and by the time they finish the full term we would be plying on the Ring Road.
Stop this treatment for us

We are totally upset over the recent attitude and act of state government especially education department and vice chancellors of VTUThe VTU Bosh and Rexorth R & D centre is opened in Mysore and even the German tool room was established at Bangalore, the e-learning studio of VTU is in Mysore,Why not the proper expansion of VTU takes place in Belgaum.
Why the government have this sham and show off in showing its attitude towards North Karnataka in general and Belgaum in particular, North Karnataka cities mainly Belgaum and twin cities hubli dharwad are the best potent cities with diverse culture and skilled manpower resource ,I highly feel off for such attitude of state government, I want Belgaumites to come forward and fight for such discrimination , Why not Belgaum have such development centre and studios.

Strength :Belgaum contributes second largest revenue to state and first in horticulture export

Weakness : No initiative form state government for Belgaum-Dharwad and Belgaum-Bagalkot-Raichur Rail line
Strength: American and foreign universities, GEMS education interested to establish educational township in Belgaum
Weakness : lack of political will and slow response form state government to make investor friendly approach towards Belgaum
Still at LargeIT park ( only foundation stone , no facilities)
Textile Park ( Private partnership , in progress)
Power generation projects ( 1 Shelved and 2 are on hold for indefinite time)
Food and Agriculture park (bureaucratic delays and lack of support to contractor)
International cricket stadium ( only land allotted and no further move on it)
Airport expansion funds available with state government from AAI but not ready to utilize for settlement of farm land acquired by farmers , fight over the cost of landRing road , just ringing around in papers
Suvarna Vidhan Suadha , only foundation stone
Vaccine institute to be developed in Belgaum as research centre, no further news on it
Auto complex an utter flop due to lack of proper planning .
