Close Surathkal tollgate, Shift Kudroli abattoir: MCC resolution

Mangaluru: A resolution has been adopted by Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) urging the government to close the tollgate at Surathkal and merge it with the Hejamady tollgate.

Speaking at the monthly meeting on October 30th, corporator Purushothama Chitrapura said that the state government had recommended the Centre to merge the tollgates. “Yet the authorities floated tender to maintain the toll plaza. The NH rules stipulate that the distance between two toll plaza should be 40-km, but the distance between two toll plazas here is only 9-km,” he pointed out.

Abattoir issue

The first half of the meeting over the issue of modernising the abattoir at Kudroli under Smart City Mission created much pandemonium, with the Opposition demanding shifting of the slaughter house to the city’s outskirts.

 BJP corporator Sudhir Shetty Kannur and Premananda Shetty raised the issue and said,”The present abattoir at Kudroli is situated on 40-cent land. The High Court had directed the ULBs to shift the abattoir to outskirts of the city. Even Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) guidelines insist that the abattoir should not be located in a riverfront area.”

Congress corporator Deepak Poojary spoke in favour of a modernised abattoir and said that the blood mixed water collected in five tankers from Kudroli abattoir is released into the STP in Mullakadu. Hence even after tertiary treatment of the water, it cannot be used by the SEZ.

Speaking on the abattoir issue the City Corporation Commissioner Mohammed Nazeer said that the proposal on modernising abattoir was approved without any discussion or dissent note in the board meeting of the Mangaluru Smart City Ltd (MSCL). However, members objected to the proposal while it was being ratified, he said.
