Mangalore: A ‘Rasta Roko’ (Road Block) protest was organized by the BIP youth, youth from various organizations, auto rickshaw drivers and the general public at Tokkottu demanding repair of Tokkottu-Babbukatte road on Wednesday November 13.

The road which has been dug up for underground drainage work, but has been left undone by the authorities which in turn has made it massively extraneous for the general public to commute.

The former MLA Jayaram Shetty notified the gathering, urging to the government officials that if the repair works are not taken up within the next 10 days then a 24 hour Rasta Roko (Road Block) protest will be organized.

He further said, “The state government is negligent; the bad state of the road has led to frequent accidents and the pollution is creating health hazards.”

“Six months earlier as well a protest was held after which the officials had promised to repair the roads but their assurance has paid no heed”, he added.
