NHAI removes unscientific speed breaker on B’luru-Mysuru old highway, locals fear accidents

MANDYA: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has removed an unscientific speed breaker on the old Bengaluru-Mysuru highway near the VC Farm gate after the death of a youth. Public TV had reported about the speed breaker on Sunday.

The NHAI removed the speed breaker on Monday.

Due to the increasing number of accidents, locals had demanded that the NHAI put up a speed breaker nera the VC Farm gate. However, an unscientific road hump was put up, leading to the death of a youth.

Now, the NHAI officials have blundered again by removing the speed breaker, leading to vehicles speeding. Locals say this could lead to more accidents in the coming days. The NHAI should have raised the height of the speed breaker and white-topped, they feel.
