Stranded Lorries near Padil underpass disrupts traffic
Mangaluru: Two commercial Lorries transporting oversized machinery to MRPL became stranded near the Padil overpass on Tuesday, leading to a traffic jam that hindered the movement of other vehicles in the area.
The Lorries were transporting machine parts from Gujrat and were enroute to MRPL to deliver them. The vehicles transporting large machine parts reached the Padil underpass beside the National Highway on Monday night and made an abrupt stop unable to cross the underpass.
The machinery being transported was ginormous, which made it impossible for the Lorries to enter the narrow tunnel causing the Lorries to make an unplanned stop near the underpass at Padil.
As many instances similar to this have reportedly occurred at the very spot in the past, the inconvenienced citizens have expressed their anger and blamed the unscientific construction of the underpass that does not accommodate the transport of large items in the narrow tunnel.

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
