Belagavi, Dec. 10: The Karnataka Government is pushing forward with the ambitious Kalyana Patha four-lane road project, which aims to seamlessly connect northern and southern Karnataka through the Bidar–Chamarajanagar highway. The works are currently underway across Bidar, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Koppal, Raichur, Ballari, and Vijayanagara, Minister for Public Works Satish Jarkiholi informed the Legislative Council on Tuesday.
Responding to a starred question raised by member Shashil G. Namoshi, the Minister said the project is being executed through the Karnataka Rural Road Development Agency (KRRDA). Under the Kalyana Patha initiative, 1,124.70 km of road works have been taken up at an estimated cost of ₹1,000 crore.
