Mangaluru, Dec 18: Commuters travelling to KPT circle from Bejai on Thursday December 18 had to cover their noses because of the stench emanating due to the leakage of a manhole located in the middle of the road near Circuit House.
Two-wheeler riders had a tough time negotiating their way through the stretch, and some of them even slipped and fell. Pedestrians too had a horrible time.
Amusingly, the people who fell because of the mess did not complain to anybody. They just cleaned themselves up and disappeared from the scene after the free fall, as though they were not affected at all.
Some people were seen using the opposite side of the road for some time. But the people who did not have any clue about the leakage till they actually got to the scene silently suffered.
When contacted, Bejai corporator Lancelot Pinto said that the MCC officials rushed to the spot along with workers, and with the help of the jetting machine, cleared the overflowing manhole and sprinkled bleaching powder to clean up the area.
MCC officials were not available for comment despite several tries.
