Mangaluru, 21 Nov 2014: A ready-mix-concrete dumper hit Mahaveer Roundabout, at Pumpwell, here on Friday November 21 early morning.

The dumper was owned by Navayug Constructions who are executing the four-lane works on Mangalore – Ernakulam National Highway at a stretch up till Talapady bordering Kerala, hit Mahaveer Roundabout owing to technical failure.
