It has been reported that the National Highway Authority has instructed the contractor to start the first phase of the famous Belgaum Ring Road as soon as possible, setting aside the objections and complaints of the farmers. Therefore, it is likely that the survey and other works will start in the next few days.
As the work of Belgaum Ring Road is about to start, the farmers will have to intensify their fight against the ring road. National Highways Authority is trying to make ring road of Belgaum city. But the farmers of many villages in Belgaum taluka have shown opposition to the ring road.
Also, a large number of objections have been registered with the National Highway Authority. Apart from this, farmers have registered a large number of complaints during the hearing after the National Highways Authority has instructed them to attend the hearing.
Despite registering objections and complaints from farmers in this manner, the authority has completed the tender process for the first phase of the ring road without taking any decision. Similarly, the contractor has been instructed to complete the survey work at the earliest.
As a result, it is likely that surveys and other types of work will be started in various places in the coming days. Like the Halga-Machhe Bypass, this work can be undertaken under police cover. Therefore, it has become necessary for the farmers to intensify their street and court battles.
