Summary:
P 4Police blocked the traffic an hour before the CM’s convoy reached the ghat near Kottigehara and Banakal towns, the entry points of Charmadi ghat. The CM could have avoided this if he was really concerned about the people,” said Vignesh Babu, a passenger who was travelling from Shivamogga to Mangaluru. Commuters were told that vehicles were being stopped due to massive landslides on the stretch. The following day, the family visited Kukke Subramanya temple to perform Ashlesha Bali Pooja, which is conducted on Ashlesha Nakshatra days as it is believed to ward off evil and yield good results. Putting residents to such hardship is unwanted and uncalled for..
