Byndoor, Dec 23: The struggle the people of the region carried on for two decades has borne fruits at last. After protests were held against the wretched condition of the road and it was trolled even in the social media, the road has been developed with tar along with paver finish. If one kilometre of the remaining road is renovated, the road will provide a comfortable feeling for road users.

The Nada-Alur road in Byndoor taluk was full of potholes for two decades. Even though the people had repeatedly demanded for the road renovation, neither the officials nor the people's representatives had responded to their difficulties. Riding a vehicle through this road had become nightmarish. Bus passengers had to be very careful because of jumps and jerks on the road. Many two-wheeler riders had fallen down in an effort to avoid potholes and were hospitalised.

Now the 3.5 km road from Nada railway bridge has been repaired with paver finish. Out of the grant of Rs 80 lac from the Varahi irrigation project, 3.5 metres wide road has been built nicely in good quality. The people are happy and they have urged the concerned to complete the balance one km road at the earliest.

This road was among the most trolled roads in social media. Several protests and road blockades had been held and leaders had visited to meet the protesters. However, other than giving promises, nothing else was done. Byndoor MLA B M Sukumar Shetty, had promised to see that this road was developed and he has kept his word. Shetty said that after the gram panchayat election, a seven km road would be developed at a cost of seven crore rupees at the earliest between Bantwady and Guddammady.
