Madikeri, Jan. 25: There has been a thought about not allowing such activities in Madikeri's General Thimmaiah Circle, which was causing traffic problems during major protests and victory celebrations, said District Superintendent of Police R.N. Bindu Mani.
Bindumani, who responded with "Shakti", said that due to activities like protests, human chain formation, victory celebrations at General Thimmaiah Circle, motorists and passengers are facing a lot of problems. The police are also finding it difficult to control traffic in such situations. Since a lot of vehicles, buses and containers ply on the Mysore-Mangalore highway at General Thimmaiah Circle itself, if traffic stops here, vehicles will stand in queues along the highway. In this regard, the police department has paid serious attention to this issue after receiving suggestions to allow smooth movement of vehicles at Thimmaiah Circle.
In a democratic system, it is the right of citizens to protest. Therefore, efforts have been made to identify a separate space for protesters in Madikeri. If a suitable place is found for protests and victory celebrations, vehicle passengers at General Thimmaiah Circle will face problems in the coming days. It will be missed. Bindumani also requested the police to cooperate with political parties, public organizations and citizens in this regard. He clarified that just as Freedom Park has been set up for protests in Bengaluru, arrangements will be made in Madikeri through a separate space.
Parking in the district headquarters, Madikeri, has also caused a lot of problems. The police department will discuss with the district administration and the municipal council to set up a multi-level parking system. During peak tourist days, suggestions have been made to park tourist vehicles on the outskirts of Madikeri and bring tourists into the city in small vehicles, and the Kodagu Police Department is also considering the pros and cons in this regard, he said.
Awareness will be created among college students to curb the increasing drug addiction in Kodagu. Various organizations in the district should also cooperate in awareness programs in this regard. Binduran also appealed to everyone to join hands with the police department to transform Kodagu district into a drug-free Kodagu.
Statue of General Thimmaiah in Madikeri It has been 52 years since its construction, and for several years, protests, victory celebrations, human chains, etc. have been taking place around this circle. In such a situation, the traffic within the circle is stopped for a few minutes and the vehicle passengers have to wait cursing. Even passengers from far away face problems as they cannot reach their destination on time. If public activities are curtailed now, the traffic problem will almost certainly be solved.
