Udupi, Sep 13: Social worker Nityananda Volakadu held a unique protest condemning the pathetic condition of road near Indrali bridge on Udupi-Manipal national highway on Tuesday September 13. He made Arathi to the potholes of Indrali bridge, broke the coconut and performed ‘Urulu Seve’ over the road.
Speaking on the occasion, Volakadu said, “Though tender is done for the road three years ago, the road is in such bad condition. No one is raising any issue. Thousands of people use this road every day. Even the chief minister (CM) has passed through this road. Modi or Gadkari should arrive for the road here to be repaired.
“People of Udupi are innocent. Let PM Modi resolve the issue. There are no street lights on the road also. Many cows and calves have died for the same reason. Those who ask votes in the name of cows and calves are not concerned about this condition of road. The asphaltization done when CM Bommai arrived has come off within a day.
“Every day accidents are taking place here. People are facing inconvenience,” said Nityananda.
