Traffic movement on Charmadi Ghat closed between 7 pm - 7 am
Chikkamagaluru: The District Deputy Commissioner on Thursday issued an order restricting traffic movement between evening 7:00 pm to 7:00 am at the Charmadi Ghat here.
The decision comes in the wake of constant rain the region has been receiving over the last few days triggering fear of landslides in the ghat.
The order by DC Dr. Gautam Bagadi stated that due to heavy rainfall there are chances of landslides and mudslides on the ghat and hence the decision to partially restrict traffic movement was taken.
