In the meeting, member Vijaya.S.Poojary, while discussing on the topic said that there is no objection for re-naming the main road with Yadthare Manjayya Shetty but the road has already become famous, popular by Municipal road.

The matter about the transfer of Municipal Corporation’s engineer Raghavendra was hotly debated.Nagaraja Kamadhenu, vice president of the CMC while discussing, contended that if the Kundapur Municipal Corporation was recognized at state and national level, engineer’s role was paramount important for that.
