Centre Allocates ₹119 Crore for 18 Roads in Udupi‑Chikkamagaluru Parliamentary Area

The Government of India has approved a ₹119 crore allocation for eighteen road projects in the Udupi‑Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency, as announced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The projects will upgrade and construct a total of 39 kilometres of roads, linking key villages and towns within the constituency.

These roadworks, which include upgrading existing lanes and building new stretches in areas such as Bhatkal, Kundapur, and Shivamogga, were flagged as essential for boosting local trade and easing travel for residents. The funding is part of the central government’s ongoing effort to improve rural infrastructure across Karnataka’s coastal and mid‑hill regions.

With the new roads expected to cut travel time significantly, farmers and local businesses anticipate easier access to markets, health facilities, and schools. The scheme is projected to generate employment during construction and enhance the overall economic outlook for the constituency. Source: Google News – Udupi.
