New NH 66 Highway: Life at risk in Santhekatte, Kallianpura Junction [Watch Video]

Kallianpura, Santhekatte, March 2, 2016: It’s being a nightmare since few days now in Santhekatte/Kallianpura junction to cross the road either way as the previous bus stop is no more into function and  new NH 66 road connections has complicated the situation by not providing any underpass or overbridge at this Junction. Buses stop wherever they get space on the highway, so the commuters cross the highway all over the stretch putting their life at risk.

Thousands of School, College students from the nearby institutions crisscross this road daily. The Junction is already overcrowded with lot of traffic and the public from Hoode, Bengre, Kemmannu, Thottam, Kallianpur, Gopalpur , Malpe, Kodavoor  entering into the High Way and an underpass or a overbridge is the need of the hour, said Mr. Raghunath, a local trader.  There are just 2 traffic constables in this spot to monitor the traffic Movement, but they too are human being, they can’t be made to stand 24 hours in this junction to help the people to cross the highway and control the traffic, explains Mr . Raghu.

One of the local auto drivers who want to stay unanimous said that their association (Tempo, auto union) must take the lead to protest to get some sort of conveniences to the public and also said that elected representatives must be made to stand at this spot to know the difficulties of the common man.   He called upon their leaders and the public to wake up before any tragedy strikes this spot.

According to Dinesh Pai, local social worker some of the locals visited the DC to spell out their graveness, but came back empty handed as the DC said it’s too late now and gave the assurance of a overhead footpath for the commuters to walk but what about the aged people, how they will climb this footpath, are we not increasing hardships into their life, asks Mr. Dinesh Pai.  I am having the original plan but nothing is happening accordingly, new plan has been not showed to the public, complained Mr. Pai.
According to unconfirmed sources the future bus stop for commuters going towards Kundapur will be near High way Garage (Little away from present Junction) and for people coming from Kundapur will be somewhere near  Ashirvad.  But, the authorities are tight-lipped.  They did not take opinions from locals before chalking out the plan or disclosing the final plan prepared by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

In Short New NH 66 highway has put the life of the commuters of Santhekatte Junction in Danger - Watch below Video.

The only solution is construct under pass/ overbridge to this high way such that local buses/personnel can use this But problem lies with our bureaucrats and politicians.

They should have a vision and will to execute the plan. The Road contractor to save money must have paid bribe to this guys.

Now we have to place heavy barricades to easy traffic and to save our local personal.

The only solution is constructing elevated road of about 500 to 800 mts. Both sides with service roads, local buses can use this and long distance buses/lorries may ply on elevated road. But problem lies with our bureaucrats and politicians. They should have a vision and will to execute the plan.

Kallianpura once a very famous town with connection to the north by ferry from Kallianpura ferry warf ( kadavina bagilu) the present rd that pass in front of milagres church was the gateway for all the world as all the southern India’s people had this route. In year 1953 the then Mysore govt laid a bridge across the Kallianpura river swarna at Naimpalli connecting Uppor. Due to the construction of new bridge Kallianpura ferry warf became a ghost town.

It’s now again The nearest town Santhekatte will get it’s importance with good infrastructure such as fly over for the long haul vehicles. Well Planned lay bay for local buses to stop will only a solution...

Local roads for local traffic. Parallel exits.

Expressways for long distance travellers.

Agree[8]
James Fernandes, Barkur Chicago Thu, March-3-2016, 3:43
I had suggested flyover or underpass last time the discussion took place. If this is super expressway why by cycles children and chicken cross the road. Parallel roads for local traffic.

Over bridge or tunnel culverts a must.

Wait in three years there will be barrier side walls not just to stop crossing but to control traffic noise to the residents. At least discussion is started. Lovely video. Thulu barpuji marare.

Make noise. Chillavo. Authorities will take action. All the best. Ask...you shall be given....

ಸಂತೆಕಟ್ಟೆಯ ಚತುಸ್ಪಥ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಸ್ಸು ತಂಗುದಾಣ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ. ನಡುಮದ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಸ್ಸುಗಳು ವಿಧ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳನ್ನು ಬಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ಇಳಿಸುವುದು ಹಾಗು ಹತ್ತಿಸುವುದು ಆಪಯದ ಗಂಟೆ! We Demand a underpass @ this Junction and want’s to know the exact locations of future bus stops. We need people like Dinesh Pai to take the lead... Public must fight for their right for the better future of the coming generation.

James being in America you should have suggested the fly over or subway underpass.

Stop and Right poi is not for the National Highway. According to the high way norms interaction and signals not permitted to make the unhindered movement of vehicular traffic from Kashmir to Kanyakumari ....

The highway is Edapally Panvel highway 1276 passing through 3 States .... according to your suggestions supposed every district will have interactions and traffic signal lights, there will be approx more then 5000 unnecessary stops for the long route and logistc vehicles and it would delay their journey for eg from Bangalore to Udupi bus journey will be 48 hours?

Agree[8]
James Fernandes, Barkur Chicago Thu, March-3-2016, 8:32
Compulsary stop Red lights at this junction.

Right poi green lights.

Yellow lights to slow down.

Pedestrian crossing signal lights.

Both vehicles and pedestrians must obey the Rules of the road safety. Heavy fines tickets.

Local volunteers as traffic control officers especially during school start and closing time.

God help them- for they do not know what they are doing?

Instead of regularising, there is confusion both for the pedestrian and the drivers. Many have voiced their feelings, of no avail the authorities are bent upon to go ahead with their plans. I have been experiencing problems when crossing. Like me there are many whom I see just running for their lives.

It is like jumping from the frying pan to the fire. I thank Mr. Dineshbhai Pai for raising the issue once again.
