Udupi, Jun 16: The road widening work on Udupi-Manipal national highway is becoming a death threat to riders and commuters. This work has already claimed many lives in the form of accidents.
Now, an electrical pole in middle of the road, near Syndicate Circle, is an addition to the already deadly road.
The old Syndicate Circle is a junction and vehicles from all the four sides arrive at this point unaware of the electrical pole. The commuters risk their lives to travel on this road. The extension work of the road is also undergoing in other end.
It is more difficult during the night time, as there is no sign board to warn about the existence of this electrical pole.
The public have demanded the concerned authorities to look into this issue and take necessary action.
