Mangaluru: Mangaluru City and Mangaluru South Block Congress Committee staged a protest condemning the delay in flyover work at Pumpwell here on Wednesday.
MLC Ivan D’Souza and former MLA JR Lobo addressed the protesters.
Usually, flyover works complete in one or one-and-a-half year in various parts of the country. But even after eight years since the construction of the Pumpwell flyover work was started, it is not completed yet. The MP of this constituency who represents the Union Government is directly responsible for this inordinate delay. But MP Nalin Kumar is escaping from his responsibility, the protesters accused.
The protesters blocked the road which led to the disruption of vehicular movement for some time. Meanwhile, the protesters set an effigy of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel on fire.
MUDA Chairman Suresh Ballal, former Mayor Mahabala Marla, Youth Congress district president Mithun Rai, Woman Congress district President Shalet Pinto and others participated in the protest.
