GULBARGA: Karnataka Road Development Corporation Ltd. (KRDCL) has taken up the development and upgrading of 1,800 km of roads under the Mega Road Development Programme in the Hyderabad Karnataka region.
Divisional Engineer of KRDCL Shashikant Warad told a meeting convened by the Hyderabad Karnataka Development Board here on Thursday that the development of the road network was taken up by the government through public private participation.
