Kaup, Oct 18: A tanker, experiencing a technical malfunction, collided with a car and a scooter at Katapadi junction on NH 66 on Thursday October 17.

The tanker, traveling from Mangaluru to Udupi, struck the car and scooter from behind after developing a mechanical issue. It then proceeded to crash into a police outpost. All three vehicles were damaged, along with a CCTV camera installed at the junction. Fortunately, all passengers, the driver, and the rider escaped uninjured.

Traffic was briefly disrupted on the highway before Kaup and Katapadi outpost police arrived at the scene and cleared the way for smooth movement of vehicles.

    There is an urgent need for an underpass in Katpadi. Please build one there. And we must make sure that the driveway is safe for people to drive. Proper road markings are lacking in many parts of the Mangalore Udupi highway We pay tolls and highway authorities have to provide safe highways for us. Padubidri Katpadi needs an underpass urgently and every effort must be made to provide safe Highways Authorities are you listening?

    Katapadi Junction is a busy intersection and urgently needs a traffic light to manage the flow of vehicles. In front of MAHE, Manipal, Hundreds of students cross the road daily to catch buses to Udupi, and the absence of a traffic light puts them at serious risk. Installing a traffic signal here is essential for their safety and to regulate traffic. The stretch of road between Katapadi and Kinni Mulki lacks proper lane markings, which makes driving extremely difficult, especially at night. Clear lane demarcations are crucial for maintaining road safety and preventing accidents. I kindly request the concerned authorities to take action on these matters to ensure better traffic control and road safety.
