Mangalore, Aug 18: The activists of North Block Congress staged protest against the Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) for the delay in repairing the damaged city roads, on Monday August 18.
The protest was staged near the Mangala Hospital where the road is in deplorable condition. The protestors alleged that the municipal body has totally ignored the worsened roads. It has taken up concreting works creating traffic chaos in the city, they complained.
The city will be celebrating a number of feasts in the coming days during which religious processions will be taken out through the various streets. It would be difficult to undertake processions if the roads are not repaired at the earliest, they observed.
North Block Congress president Suresh Ballal, Youth Congress president Vishwasdas, MCC opposition party leader Harinath, former Mayor Shashidhar Hegde, corporators Appi, Gretta Rebello, Ashok and others were present in the protest.
