Issues in circular movement of vehicles to be addressed: Mayor

The problems noticed in circular one-way movement from Clock Tower to Clock Tower via A.B. Shetty Circle, Hamilton Circle, and Rao and Rao Circle will be referred to the District Traffic Advisory Committee for redressal, said Mayor Premanand Shetty on Thursday.

During the ordinary meeting of Mangaluru City Corporation Council, councillor A.C. Vinayraj said the new circular one-way movement, which came into effect from September 23, has been causing problems to motorists and pedestrians.

Mr. Vinayraj said motorists coming from St. Ann’s College and from Bunder are forced to take a circular route to reach their destination. “The changes have been brought by keeping the council in the dark,” he said. The Mangaluru Smart City Ltd., which is doing the city beautification work, is not empowered to suggest circular one-way movement.
