Mysuru civic body to build multilevel car park on MUDA land

1.20 acres near Shakti Dhama to be allocated for construction of a three-storey parking facility. MCC to take up construction adopting a technology from Pune where a three-storey building can be completed in 100 days

The prospects of Mysuru City Corporation’s plans of building a multilevel car park for easing the parking crisis in the city and a commercial complex improved after the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) agreed to allot land for the same.

A plot measuring 1.20 acres in Survey Number 69 Block Number 2 near Shakti Dhama has been identified for the MCC’s multistoried car parking project. Land for construction of MCC’s commercial complex has been identified near JSS Medical College in Bannimantap area.

At a recent meeting, MUDA agreed to give the land to MCC for the project.

This was disclosed at a joint media conference at the MUDA office on January 9 by Mayor Shivakumar and MUDA Chairman Yashashwi S. Somashekar.

The Mayor had sought land from the MUDA for the parking project and commercial complex. Apart from that, the MCC wanted land for construction of Zonal 9 office (four sites at Gayathripuram first stage to be allotted at MUDA auction rates). The proposals were placed before the MUDA meeting, and the members agreed to allot the land.

The Mayor said the multilevel car parking, Zonal 9 office and the commercial complex will be built adopting a technology developed in Pune where the building comes up within 100 days. “It’s going to a precast construction in which the structure comes up at a faster pace. A three-storey structure can be readied in less than 100 days,” Mr. Shivakumar claimed.

“I and a few others from the MCC had been to Pune, and saw the technology. It can be replicated in Mysuru since it reduces the construction time,” the Mayor told reporters.
