Puttur: A road mishap was reported two days after the newly laid Shiradi ghat road was thrown open for traffic here on Wednesday,.
The incident occurred when a car which was heading towards Bengaluru from Puttur fell into a drain. However, the people travelling in the car escaped with minor injuries. The incident occurred due to heavy vehicles moving in this route despite being restricted by the authorities. These over speeding heavy vehicles, especially buses coming from Bengaluru, cause road mishaps.
The incomplete road work is also said to be a reason for the road mishaps.
