Residents allege poor road condition in Murdeshwar area; warn of protest
Bhatkal: Residents have expressed anger over the poor condition of roads in and around the popular tourist destination of Murdeshwar, saying commuters are facing severe hardship.
According to locals, the road stretch from Bastimakki to Urban Bank in National Colony has remained in bad shape for several years. They said the situation has worsened over the last five months after gravel was spread on the road in the name of repair work and left unfinished.
People alleged that movement of vehicles on the loose gravel has become dangerous, and several persons have reportedly slipped and suffered injuries.
Residents said the issue has been brought to the notice of minister Mankal Vaidya on several occasions, but no clear action has been taken so far.
Locals also claimed that though many promises were made during the election period, it has now become difficult even to reach the minister.
They warned that if officials and the contractor fail to complete the road work immediately, they would be forced to launch a strong protest in the coming days.
