Residents, school children, shopkeepers, and representatives of several social organisations staged a protest in Brahmavar of Udupi district on Wednesday demanding a flyover and service roads on NH 66.
The protest was following the death of 14-year-old school student Vamshi G .Shetty on Tuesday after he was hit by a car while crossing the highway.
The protesters demanded service roads and the flyover between City Centre and Mahesh Hospital Junction. While expressing their anguish over the accident, the protesters asked district administration to act in right earnest to prevent traffic accidents near Brahmavar bus-stand, Mahesh Hospital junction, and Akashvani Junction. They threatened to intensify their agitation if steps to build service roads are not taken within a week’s time.

When reporters brought to her notice the claim by villagers that the late maharaja of Mysore Sri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar had gifted the land to them, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said she is not aware of the matter, but sought to assure people that no effort will be made to take back the land that had been gifted by the late maharaja.
