Shiradi Ghat, August 3: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed shock and outrage over the recent landslide at Shiradi Ghat and questioned the Regional Officer of the National Highways Authority, about the road construction methods used.
The Chief Minister, who arrived at the scene by road with a team of officials, criticized the decision to cut hills at 90 degrees for road construction, calling it a primary cause of the landslide.
Chief Minister questioned Regional Officer of National Highways Authority Mr. Vilas over the recent landslide, criticizing the decision to cut hills at a 90-degree angle to save costs. "Isn’t this unscientific?" he asked. Siddaramaiah suggested that cutting hills at a 30 to 45-degree angle and building a retaining wall could have prevented the landslide. He also demanded to know why no soil quality tests or safety measures were conducted before starting the work.
Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh briefed him on road work progress, stating that 35 km of the 45 km highway project had been completed. Still, no safety measures were implemented based on soil quality tests.
After inspecting the landslide site covered in knee-deep mud, the Chief Minister discussed the situation with the SDRF team engaged in the mud clearance operation.
The Chief Minister directed Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh to write a letter to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari about the overall situation.
Hassan District In-charge Minister Rajanna, MLA Shivlinge Gowda, MP Shreyas Patel, Public Works Department Secretary Satynarayan, and a team of senior officials were present.
