Puttur, Jul 16: The district administration of Hassan has ordered prohibition of all kinds of vehicles from travelling on the Shiradi Ghat from Friday, July 14, in the wake of the possibility of further landslides at Donigal of Sakleshpur taluk on NH 75.

As a landslide occurred at Donigal on Thursday, one way traffic was allowed and another lane was blocked. However, as further landslides occurred on Friday, vehicular movement of all sorts is prohibited till further notice.

The commuters are requested to use the alternative routes depending on the weight of the vehicle. Vehicles below 16,200 kg can use either Hassan-Arakalagud-Kushalnagar-Sampaje or Hassan-Belur-Moodigere-Charmadi Ghat route.

Goods vehicles above the weight of 16,200 kgs have to use any other route except the two mentioned in the above.

    If this entire contract were given to the Chinese on EPC basis, they would have done a fantastic job at lower cost??

    Wherever the road passes through loose soil on the sides will be heavily prone to landslides unless retaining gabion walls are built, which thought should have first come to the minds of the engineers as the entire western ghats are well known for heavy torrential rains!!

    The most vital link at Manzerabad fort junction should have been taken up on war footing ..retaining wall etc etc ..water channels .. road banking .. Culverts etc .. IT is a chicken neck area .... Now the neck is wringed off.. All other roads could have been delayed if required ..Hassan to saklespur... Now everyone is cut off ..

    Landslides will be on the rise along the excavated hills as the soil loosens out more and more due to rampant deforestation and increase in rainfall!!

    If Nalin kumar is honest, he should direct the shiradi ghat road issue to Gadkari. His team will definitely find a permanent solution. But will the golden egg laying goose be sacrificed???

    All these years the amount of money spent by different Govts on shiradi ghat , it was enough to make underground tunnel roads. not at all scientific. its a golden egg laying hen for politicians ,Bureaucrats & Contractors.

    We are experiencing this avoidable inconvenience due to lack of vision of political class... Tunnel project envisaged now could have taken shape much earlier and much more cheaper... Instead we chose to load the fragile mountain edges with ever increasing and unchecked wheel loads... Illegal mining and excavations are also contributing... Looks like we are actively hacking our own ankles...

    Corruption staring back not landslides--- --- Good highway engineers not consulted -- retaining walls which are built to last are not constructed -- Should not use terms like world class infrastructure -- which we hear in speeches -- THIRD CLASS --A national shame-- Bullock cart roads of yester years used to be designed better -
