Mangalore, March 30: More roads in the city are set to be improved as the State Government has approved the action plan prepared by Mangalore City Corporation to take up development works under the second instalment of Rs. 100 crore special grant sanctioned to the corporation.

The Department of Urban Development had issued an order approving the action plan on February 23, Corporation commissioner K.N. Vijayaprakash said.

The action plan had listed 60 prominent link roads and 12 main roads in the jurisdiction of the corporation for improvement among other development works which include building storm-water drains, paving footpaths, installing streetlights, improving parks and improving graveyards.

The Government Order said that the civic body would have to take up these works in three years from 2011-12 to 2013-14. In the first financial year, the civic body should invite bids to take up works to the tune of Rs. 30 crore to Rs. 35 crore.
