Mysore/Mysuru: Former Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) President Sudhakar N. Shetty has suggested Velluwadi-Chikkabargi Road as an alternative route to bypass the NH-766 that passes through Bandipur Tiger Reserve to reach Kerala. At present there is a night traffic ban between 9 pm and 6 am imposed by the Karnataka Government.
Kerala has been demanding Karnataka to lift the night traffic ban on NH-766 as the road connects Wayanad and Mysuru. The Kerala government had been insisting that the existing night traffic ban be bypassed on a 25-km stretch of National Highway 766 by cutting through a core part of the forest with an elevated corridor.
