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.
