Mangaluru City Corporation has written to Police Commissioner to take steps as suggested by MSCL
The Mangaluru City Corporation on Thursday wrote to the Police Commissioner to take steps to declare Maidan Road, from Clock Tower to Clock Tower via A.B. Shetty Circle, as one-way as decided by Mangalore Smart City Ltd. (MSCL).
Corporation Commissioner Akshy Sridhar, quoting decisions by the Citizen Advisory Committee of Smart City on August 17 and MSCL meeting chaired by the Mayor on August 14, requested the Police Commissioner to take steps to declare the stretch as one-way.
The Mangaluru City Traffic Police have already been enforcing the one-way rule on the stretch from about a month, saying it was being done on trial basis. MSCL has removed road medians on the stretch, demolished A.B. Shetty Circle structure, and has plans to remove Hamilton Circle and Rao and Rao Circle structures soon.
