Udupi, Nov 3: Locals living on Udupi-Manipal national highway held a unique protest to bring the apathy of the administration to light. They held burning torches on the national highway during night as there are no street lights on this stretch for five km.
District citizens’ committee held this protest against the district administration as their repeated pleas to install street lights have fallen on deaf ears. The committee erected poles throughout the five km stretch and kept burning torches made of coconut tree branches on it and urged the administration to take corrective action.
Committee convener Nithyananda Olakadu expressed extreme anger on the administration’s apathy.
