Heavy rains have created large pits near Nanthoor Circle on NH 66, significantly slowing down traffic at this busy junction. DCP Traffic Dinesh Kumar stated that there is no immediate solution to the traffic congestion, but the traffic department is doing its best to manage the situation during the monsoon.
The long-awaited construction of flyovers at Nanthoor and KPT Circle has yet to commence. Former MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has claimed that both flyovers are sanctioned, but work has not started.
Local resident Nagaraj from Bikkarnakatte expressed frustration, noting that politicians have promised these flyovers for two decades without any action. He emphasized that without these flyovers, smooth traffic flow is impossible.
A traffic police officer raised concerns that the traffic situation at Nanthoor Circle could worsen once flyover construction begins, adding to the current chaos.
The ongoing monsoon season exacerbates the challenges faced by commuters, highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure improvements in the area. As authorities struggle to manage the immediate traffic issues, residents and commuters continue to await the promised flyovers that could alleviate congestion in the long term.
