    Dear All:All of your comments are baseless. What Matters is that The contractor has no rights to Deomolish the circle.Once upon a time this circle was useful and now its a waste? What the fact lies behind is the Dadagiri of the Contractor.Today Padubidri and tomorow may be at our own place.We all must join and protest these anti elements who are working in favour of Nagarjuna to disturb the localites.

    Finaly, it is a good decision by the NH authorities to remove the unwanted circle/t-junction which is disturbing the movement of vehicles.

    If the cirlce was not served with any purpose, clear it up and widen the road both for traffic and public. As a meomorial of Ramesh Shetty hang the sign board in the middle of the tree. Other branches, in future can reserved for rests. Protest,strike exibit that we are moving to state of Kerala.

    yes, my thought was also the same once whenever i used travel to Mangalore via Padubidri, this circle was not served the purpose, it was a T junction for those who are coming from Karkala, the place was so narrow connecting two highways NH 17 N SH 66, why our people making so much hallas...? they can request either speed breaker or traffic lights instead of creating nonsense, once we used to boost Dakshina kannadigas are born leaders, and we ourselves developed the region with out waiting govt.. now we are also acting like gowdas.....
