Bantwal: The BC Road-Kalladka highway has deteriorated due to ongoing development work and heavy rains, causing frequent traffic jams.

The highway is full of potholes and eroded sections, leaving only stones on the surface. This slows down vehicles, leading to traffic congestion, especially between Melkare’s Bolangadi and Narahari Parvatha-Kalladka.

After Kalladka, there is a newly constructed concrete road with no issues. However, the BC Road-Kalladka stretch remains problematic, said Bantwal traffic police.
