Summary:
Only non-AC sleeper, Rajahamsa and express buses would ply over Charmadi route. "Our intention is to see that the buses cross the ghat section by nightfall. KSRTC divisional controller Deepak Kumar said that the movement of premium buses on the SK Border route was an experimental one and Volvo buses would ply only during the day. We don’t want to take chances by operating buses on that route at night,’’ said Kumar.The Charmadi Ghat route, is the only route available for KSRTC buses and light motor vehicles with both alternate routes Shiradi and Sampaje, being closed for traffic due to landslides and road damage. The Subrahmanya-Sullia road to Madikeri also saw road caving in at Kallaje, 6 kms from Subrahmanya, which resulted in only small vehicles to move on the half of the road available..
