Bantwal, Jul 23: Member of Parliament Nalin Kumar Kateel recently encountered a highway blockage while traveling on the B C Road Addahole National Highway, where the four-lane highway project is currently underway.
MP Nalin's car was en route to B C Road from Mani for official business when it got caught in a traffic jam at the flyover construction site in Kalladka. The vehicle had to remain stationary for approximately 15 minutes.
The ongoing construction work for the flyover and underpass at Mani, Melkar, Panemangalore, and along Kalladka highway, managed by KNRC, has not provided alternate roads for smooth vehicular traffic flow. Several sections of the highway also have large potholes, posing potential dangers to drivers.
Residents of Kalladka are demanding that their elected representatives acknowledge the gravity of the situation and find a prompt solution to address these issues.
