Bengaluru: Construction of the proposed Bengaluru-Mangaluru Integrated Green Field High Speed Corridor will be very helpful for the development of Mangaluru as well as other cities along the route, Karnataka Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said on Thursday.
Rao, who is in-charge Minister of Dakshina Kannada district, held discussions here with top executives of European Business and Technology Centre (EBTC), a project advisory and facilitation organisation. Udupi district in-charge minister Laxmi Hebbalkar too was present.
The project proposes construction of a six to eight-lane high-speed corridor.
