Mangaluru, 28 Feb 2015: Mijar Nagarika Hitarakshana Vedike presented a memorandum to Dakshina Kannada district Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim, here on Friday February 27, urging the district administration to develop NH 169 that passes through Nantoor, here to Moodbidri and Karkal.

 

 

The memorandum stated that National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has forwarded a proposal to develop NH 169 that passes through Nantoor – Moodbidri – Karkal to union ministry of surface transport a few years ago and are waiting for approval. It’s narrow and has several accident-prone steep curves owing to which major mishaps are occurring with loss of life and limbs. A British-era century-year-old bridge at Gurpur, near here is on the verge of collapse anytime. All the pleas to elected representatives were in vain. 

 

Mijar Nagarika Hitarakshana Vedike urged Deputy Commissioner to take measures in seeking approval from union ministry of surface transport for developing NH 169 which is lying in back of burner.

 

Mijar Nagarika Hitarakshana Vedike honorary president Abdul Hameed, vice president Sudhakar Poonja Mijar, secretary Umesh Rao Mijar, farmers leader Yadav Shetty were present.
