Bantwal, Nov 20: In the wake of last week’s tragic accident at the Brahmashree Narayana Guru Circle in BC Road, where three people lost their lives after a car crash, the police department has taken prompt action by installing a yellow warning signal and a ‘keep left’ sign board to alert motorists.

Following the accident, Dakshina Kannada superintendent of police Dr Arun visited the spot, inspected the circumstances, and directed officers to install warning systems immediately. Acting on his instructions, officials set up the yellow signal and the directional signboard at the circle.

However, concerns have been raised about whether these measures will effectively slow down vehicles speeding along the national highway, which has now developed into a four-lane route. Several locals have suggested that installing rubber speed breakers near the circle would be more effective in preventing such accidents.

Although the highway department has installed streetlight poles and lamps at the circle, electricity connection has not yet been provided. The bulbs installed with existing connections are also not functioning.

Meanwhile, residents have demanded the installation of high-mast lights along the road leading to the flyover and at the Bantwal bypass junction. SP Dr Arun has acknowledged the need for proper street lighting and stated that a letter will be sent to the highway department requesting immediate attention to the issue.
