Seventeenth Loksabha > Title: Request the government to cancel the Tender of Gaman company and give the tender to a good company to construct NH-63 a quality road in Bellary, Karnataka; construction of ESI hospital and grant the necessary approvals for construction of new buildings for post offices in Bellary.
*SHRI Y. DEVENDRAPPA (BELLARY):Hon. Chairman Sir, thank you for allowing me to raise some important issues pertaining to my Parliamentary constituency Bellary in Karnataka state.
Sir, National Highway 63 passes through Bellari district. I would like to mention that the Tender of the project of Rs. 870 crores for the four laning road in the Hospet-Bellary- section was given to the Gaman company. The total length of the road is 95 kms.
The Tender of the work of the four laning was completed 6 months ago, however, only 25% of the work is completed till now and also the quality is not maintained as per the desired standards. The NH – 63 is very important highway as it connects Krishna Patttanam Port in the East and Karawar port in west.
Apart from this, there are large scale industries in this 95 kms. stretch of this NH and around 2500 vehicles fly everyday on it. Since the four-laning work is not completed the commuters and local people are facing great inconvenience. Therefore, I would like to request the union government to cancel the Tender of Gaman company and give the tender to a good company to construct a quality road in my district.
Another point I would like to mention is that in my Parliamentary constituency, it is estimated that about 2,938 industrialists and around 1,21,000 laborers are there.
Every month nearly Rs.2 crore and 70 lakhs are deposited into the ESI. However, there is no ESI hospital in my district except two small Medical centers. In the absence of healthcare facilities laborers are facing a lot of difficulties. Hence, I request the union government to sanction a full-fledged ESI hospital in my district.
HON. CHAIRPERSON : Please conclude.
SHRI Y. DEVENDRAPPA : Sir, my last point is that there are 74 Post offices in my Lok Sabha constituency and only 11 of them are having own buildings. 7 post offices are functioning in the rent-free buildings, 56 Post offices are functioning in the Rented buildings.
There are 7 locations in my district, where land is vacant to construct the office buildings. Therefore, I request the government through you to grant the necessary approvals for construction of new buildings for post offices. Thank you.
