    During the NH construction phase, there was a plan to build an underpass at this prominent junction, given the high traffic density and its importance as a route to Shirva and Karkala. However, local businesses fearing a loss of customers, objected to the construction. As a result, they are now experiencing traffic jams and have realized the importance of the underpass. Fortunately, there is good news on the horizon!
