Mangaluru, Jul 15: Huge pits have formed near Nanthoor Circle on NH 66 due to heavy rains, causing vehicles to move at a snail’s pace at this junction.
DCP Traffic Dinesh Kumar stated that there is no immediate solution for the traffic jam at Nanthoor Circle, but traffic department personnel are doing their best to manage the situation during the monsoon.
The construction of flyovers at Nanthoor and KPT Circle remains elusive. Former MP Nalin Kumar Kateel claimed that both flyovers are sanctioned, but work has yet to begin.

Nagaraj, a resident of Bikkarnakatte, expressed frustration, noting that politicians have been promising flyovers at Nanthoor and KPT junctions for two decades without any practical implementation. Without these flyovers, smooth traffic flow is not possible.
A traffic police officer expressed concern that the traffic situation at Nanthoor Circle will worsen if the flyover construction begins.
