Danger looms as retaining wall of Kodagu DC Office loosens

• Traffic on Madikeri-Mangaluru Road banned; PWD issues notice to construction company
• Rs. 7.5 crore project turning out to be a costly affair; No threat to Office as of now, says DC

Madikeri: Traffic movement on the Madikeri-Mangaluru Highway has been banned as the retaining wall of the Kodagu Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) Office — located at a steep gradient on the road — faces the threat of collapse. The Police have taken this precautionary step late last night considering the safety of the motorists.
