Karwar: A protest was staged by villagers demanding completion of link road to Kadawad-Sunkeri bridge in Karwar taluk on 23rd June, Friday.
The villagers stated that completion of link road work will ease traffic movement. They said work on bridge was started five years ago, and has not been inaugurated for vehicular traffic.
Maruthi Naik, former member of Gram Panchayat said that the local MLA is looking for alternative road instead of getting permission to start completed bridge and complete the link road work, sanctioned in 2016-17.
He also said that the school going students are dependent upon the bridge for commuting. “However with linking road not completed, they are forced to use muddy road, which is dangerous as parents fear it may lead to tragedy”, he added.
A memorandum was submitted to the district administration in this regard.
