Mangaluru: Monaming or changing the name of the intersection or road in the city often requires protracted bureaucratic procedures, which often take months.
However, the intersection at Jeppu near the Mangaladevi Temple in Mangaluru was named after Hindu God Parahurama, a decision taken was not by PKS officials, but the residents.
Around Mangaluru Smart City Ltd.
(MSCL) is developing roads, sidewalks and circles around Mangaladevi Temple, a banner was founded by residents, stating the name ‘Parashurama Vrittha’, before Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) can be intentional about this problem, and adopt a resolution for that effect.
MSCL has carried out various development projects in the old Kent Road environment, Jalan Temple of Pandeshwar, Jalan Temple of Mangaladevi, among others – the cumulative cost initiative estimated at around Rs 40 Crore.
This is not the first example of a person who set up a banner that shows the name of the choice they will have for the path or intersection.
A few months ago, a banner was installed on the Pumpwell Flyover bearing the name ‘Veer Savarkar Flyover’, but it was deleted later.
Other banners later appeared at the Mangaluru Junction train station, which matched the leaflet wanted ‘Veer Savarkar Railway Station, Mangaluru’.
Mangaluru Mayor Premanand Shetty told TI that MCC had not intentionally named the addition of the intersection in Jeppu.
“I noticed the banner stating that the intersection was ‘Parashurama Vrittha’, but the MCC did not make a proposal to rename a place.
Unknown people have put banners without the knowledge of the authorities concerned.
Each proposal must first be discussed in the MCC Board, And the resolution is adopted for that effect, “Shetty added.
He showed that the MCC Board had submitted a proposal to the government who wanted to rename Lady Hill Circle after Sri Narayana Teacher’s social reformer.
“But we have adopted a resolution to mention the road to the Temple of Mangaladevi after the temple.
We have sent this to the MCC City Planning Committee too.
MCC will publish a proposal in the newspaper that invites objections and suggestions from the public.
The proposal will be discussed later after the public consultation Held before formally handed over to the government, “said Mayor.
