Angadi in a release has stated that a sum Rs.2 cores of the 11 crores sanctioned by the centre have already been sanctioned by the centre but the State govt is not expediting the release of funds from its side.

The officials said that approximately the cost of the bridge at Kapileshwar road would be 19 crores and Old PB road would be 50 crores.
