    16 tonn passing vehicles are now allowed, with mSand...the total load is around 25 tonn..if these vehicles are going at the edge of every hairpin turn, ghat is bound to collapse. A weigh bridge should be installed and vehicles above 10 tonne should be prevented from using ghat, otherwise this ghat will soon fully collapse.

    DC sitting in AC cabin, can't come to agumbe and see what work they did in 30 days?So many people have been effected, hotels are forced to close. Work is going on in snail pace. They could have easily finished entire work in 20 days, but for their slow work, people are paying.
