Project Status
The decision to lay a concrete road from Anemahal in Sakleshpur to Heggadde in Maranahalli was made 4-5 years ago. However, only a few meters have been concreted sporadically, leaving the rest as tar road.
This road, which sees thousands of vehicles daily, is narrow and dangerous in places. Work has not commenced in areas like Donigal and Kappalli, while the hillside is being cut at Kesanagahalli.

Hazardous Hills
The maintenance of the few meters of concrete road between Maranahalli and Sakleshpur is inadequate. Landslides have occurred in some places, and there is a risk of further landslides. Additionally, hillsides have been cut, leading to soil erosion in some areas.
Landslide Concerns on Shiradi Ghat
Concrete work on the Shiradi Ghat road was completed in two phases: 13 km in 2015 and another 13 km in 2018. Retaining wall construction is ongoing at potential landslide sites along the road, but some dangerous spots remain.
