Duggala Sadananda Highlights Poor Road Conditions in Napoklu Area

Napoku, July 13: People are suffering due to the bad roads in the town area. The Bethu Road and the old taluk roads here, including the town, are full of potholes, making traffic difficult. Pedestrians, passengers and drivers are cursing. Although the public had hoped that the bad roads would be repaired before the rainy season, the promise of the people's representatives remains a promise. Now, when it rains, the potholes are filled with water, and the drivers are trying their best to drive, while on the one hand, the pedestrians are not spared the mud-slicked traffic. Two-wheeler riders fall into the potholes and sometimes even fall onto the road, making it difficult to move.

There is no asphalt near the KPS School, Ponnu Muthappa Temple and the newly built petrol pump on the Napoklu Bhagamandala main road from the town to the old taluk. There are potholes everywhere. On the other hand, the Napoklu Parane road leading to Bethu village is very congested and the road traffic is difficult. As one moves further away from the town, there is a big pothole in the middle of the road and vehicles have to move through that pothole. The public is of the opinion that it would have been convenient for the common people if the potholes in the road had been closed and some repair work had been done before the rainy season.

Many vehicles are now plying on the branch road leading from Bethu village to the vegetable field, leaving the main road. This road has completely deteriorated. In some parts, water has stagnated and turned into a lake. A small part of this branch road leading from Madikeri road to Bethu village has been made into a concrete road. The remaining part has been torn away and the road is not visible.

The situation has reached such a point that it is impossible to walk on the Napoklu Bhagamandala road. At least the pothole sealing work is not being done. The MLA has stated that the asphalt is not coming due to the war. Former district president of the Minority Front, C.M. Rafiq Emmemadu, said that the citizens will wake up and fight against the road chaos.

The road from the town to the Makkishasta temple is in a completely bad condition. The road has deteriorated again within two to three months of being repaired. Munda Ada, a coffee grower from the old taluk, expressed his opinion that the attitude of the administration system that cannot provide even the basic facilities is condemnable. Driving an auto on the potholed roads within the town limits is difficult. 

Auto driver Manjunath says that taking school children on a bad road is violence.

Riding on potholed roads has caused a lot of problems for two-wheeler drivers. T.P. Muthanna of Perur village expressed his dissatisfaction saying that no one is listening to the citizens. Vijayan of Napoklu said that two-wheeler drivers are facing problems due to falling into potholes.

Chambara Sadali, a resident of Emmegawan, said that the potholes have been closed for traffic and it is no longer possible to walk without any benefit.
