MADIKERI: The mission to construct a memorial for General Thimmaiah right here has come a cropper because of non-release of sufficient price range via the government. Of the sanctioned Rs 6.85 crore, handiest Rs. 2.75 crore has been launched.
The government had sanctioned the mission greater than a decade in the past. However, the works on the ground commenced handiest after 2016, when the RTO place of work — which worked out of Sunny Side building (the residence of General Thimmaiah) — was once shifted to a brand new building on Abbi Falls Road right here. The mission was once controlled via the Kannada and tradition department till it was once passed over to the tourism department.
The works on the mission, taken up via Nirmithi Kendra, was once to be completed via December-end. However, they have remained incomplete because of scarcity of price range. The pending works pertain to RCC keeping partitions, staircase, two borewells with a submersible pump, sewage, interiors, granite, painting, chain-link fencing, bogs, audio-video set-up, and the like.
“Nirmithi Kendra has to take care of the museum for 4 years after its inauguration,” mentioned engineers Sachin and Roshan.
Sunny Side was once proposed to be converted into a museum to relate the life and occasions of the military common. The construction work and the renovation procedure at Sunny Side began greater than three years in the past. The residence is predicted to deal with exhibits and weapons sourced from the overall’s family and the Indian army, respectively.
The setting of Sunny Side need to be advanced with a garden, entire with lawn. The engineers mentioned the works would possibly not recover from via this 12 months’s monsoons if the specified amount is not sanctioned.
