Nod for five foot overbridges in Kasaragod

Key Highlights

• At Adkathbail, where recurring accidents and fatalities had raised serious concern, the sanction has come as a major relief.
• The Adkathbail Sree Subrahmanya Temple Committee and the Muhiyudheen Jamaath Committee had formed a joint action committee and met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari to press for a safe crossing.
• He had assured action, and the commitment has now been fulfilled.
• A foot overbridge has also been sanctioned at the Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI) junction, with the demand gaining momentum after farmers faced travel hardship while attending the Kisan Samman Conference in October 2022.
• At Nullipady, near the Kasaragod new bus stand, residents had staged protests seeking an underpass and even approached the court when their demands remained unaddressed.
