On April 18, 2026, twenty-five development projects will be officially launched in Mangaluru under the Mahatma Gandhi Nagar Vikas Yojana 2.0 (MGNVY 2.0) scheme, with a total investment of ₹165 crore. The initiative, announced by MLC Ivan D’Souza, primarily focuses on road development and the construction of storm water drains to improve urban infrastructure. Key projects include concreting a pending stretch of the airport road from Marakada to Maravoor bridge, which also involves installing utility ducts and covered drains. Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh and Dakshina Kannada minister-in-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao are scheduled to lay foundation stones at four specific locations before attending a public function at Ambedkar Bhavan. MLC D’Souza emphasized that work orders have already been issued to contractors, ensuring immediate commencement, with completion targeted for the 2026-27 period. Additionally, the Mangaluru City Corporation has allocated ₹10 crore from its general fund for ward-level projects and another ₹10 crore for restoring rain-damaged properties. A detailed project report seeking ₹1,250 crore for overhauling the city’s underground drainage network has also been submitted to the state government to address groundwater contamination issues.
