Bantwal, Aug 16: The KNR Constructions company has commenced tarring work on a section of the service road in Melkar. The work on the service road leading from B C Road to Melkar was initiated this evening in the market area of Melkar.
Local shopkeepers and the public had previously protested by blocking the company’s vehicles, citing issues with dust that made breathing difficult when mud and rain accumulated on the road.
