Addressing media here on Monday October 1, Sasikanth Senthil said, “Till now mini vehicles have been allowed to move on Shiradi Ghat road. From October 3, buses will also be allowed,”
“Vehicular movement was restricted because of the construction of concrete roads, side walls and also due to recent heavy rains. There were landslides in 12 places on this road. 8 places are out of danger now and police protection has been given in four dangerous areas of Shiradi Ghat,”
“Regarding the movement of buses in the stretch we have discussed with district police and Hassan district commissioner. After a review within two weeks time, other heavy vehicles will be allowed,” said DC.
