Hubballi: Even as residets of the dual towns allege that BRTS doesn’t take them into self assurance, BRTS has done it once once more. It has directed all cars, together with town buses coming from Bhairidevarakoppa and transferring towards Hubballi, to go on the flyover skipping the forestall at Unkal Cross for over a week.
It hasn’t intimated any stakeholder together with police, NWKRTC, personal bus operators, elected representatives and the general public.
When TOI had reported that town buses were going on the flyover (May 21), officers of each NWKRTC and Bendre Nagar Sarige steered their drivers strictly not to steer clear of Unkal Cross forestall. Now, each operators are stymied as BRTS closed the street for construction of the drain.
Corporator and JD(S) leader Rajanna Koravi said BRTS has taken people without any consideration and contractors and officers are least afflicted about public hobby.
“Unkal Cross is a significant junction where people of areas like Timber Yard, Sainagar, Lingaraj Nagar, Muneshwar Block, Raghavendra Colony, Danamma Temple Road and Patidar Bhavan board town buses. Even people coming back from Shivalli, Hebballi and other villages exchange buses right here to visit Navanagar and Dharwad. Officials should repair site visitors on the down street and facilitate commuters with stoppages at the earliest,” he said.
He added that if it’s vital to shift delivery on the flyover quickly, they should submit data forums at Unkal, Unkal Cross and BVB stops and make it identified during the media.
Tippanna Majjagi, president, BJP HD-Central unit, also a resident of Unkal Cross area, said that nobody objects to setting up drainage underneath the BRTS stretch. `However, BRTS officers have failed in public conversation. They never intimate public about diversion or closure of street,” he said.
BS Nemagouda, DCP (crime & site visitors), said he has spoken to officers involved. “They said access of all cars is barred because of ongoing drainage paintings. We have requested them to complete it within the subsequent 2-Three days,” he added.
Advocate Sudhir Kakade, a resident of Sai Nagar, said BRTS has change into identified for slow pace paintings since 2012 and it will take at least a month to finish the drain paintings at Unkal Cross.
He added, “Unkal Cross is a forestall for various faculties and schools like M R Sakhare, Vishwa Bharati, Adarsh, Kattimani, KSS and KLE Banyan, among others. ll students both cross to BVB or Unkal stops to catch buses.”
Ashok Patil, divisional site visitors officer, NWKRTC, said there is not any authentic intimation about closure of down street between Unkal and BVB. “As the street is closed, all our buses are going on the flyover,” he said.
