Belgaum ring road: Still a Dream

Belgaum ring road planned in two phases.

  1. Hindalga-Peeranwadi-Halga
  2. Hindalga-Kakti-Halga

Total ring road length 38 kms. Ring road breadth 100 feet. 285 acres of land needed. Rs.1425 lakh for land acquisition. Ring road total expenditure Rs.30 crores. The plan for the ring road was prepared 10 years ago. Imagine, since ten years nothing has happened on ground; only papers have changed places and this road, which will be a boon to traffic, will remain a dream.

Alipaak it happens only in Belgaum
