Kushalnagar: Heavy vehicle (goods vehicles) movement on the Mysuru-Bantwal National Highway (National Highway 275) on the Madikeri-Sullia stretch has been banned after soil caved in on a road linking Jodupala and Second Monnangeri that had witnessed massive landslides in 2018 and 2019. As such, hundreds of goods trucks that have left Mysuru are stranded in Madikeri in the surroundings of General K.S. Thimayya Circle.
Heavy rain that lashed across the region for the last four days resulted in the loosening of the soil. The road was repaired recently and now a portion of it has collapsed. The weatherman has forecast more rains in the next two to three days and as such the Kodagu District Administration has banned the movement of heavy goods vehicles.
