One Way Traffic Introduced on NH 66 Between Binga and Arga Due to Landslide Risk
Uttara Kannada district administration imposes temporary traffic restrictions as a precaution during the monsoon season.
The Uttara Kannada district administration has introduced one way traffic on a stretch of National Highway 66 between Binga and Arga in Karwar taluk as a precaution against possible landslides during the ongoing monsoon.
According to the district administration, continuous heavy rainfall has increased the risk of soil, rocks, and debris sliding onto the highway from nearby hillsides between Binga Kari Devasthana and Arga Mahadevasthana Cross. The measure has been taken to ensure the safety of commuters and prevent accidents.
An order issued by Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate K Lakshmi Priya states that the temporary traffic arrangement came into effect on July 4 and will remain in force until the end of the monsoon season.
The administration has urged motorists and the public to follow the traffic restrictions and stay informed about alternative routes and traffic advisories while travelling through the area.
