Mangaluru, December 04, 2024: A portion of the National Highway between Mangaluru and Udupi has caved in  at Kulur during the heavy rains due to Fengal cyclone effect.

It has been alleged that water stagnation in a trench laid for GAIL gas pipeline works led to the all of a sudden collapse of the road even as vehicles were passing through. Luckily no one was hurt.

As heavy vehicles still move on the road, locals fear further collapse of the road unless restoration works are done at the earliest.
