Shivamogga district administration bans vehicles on Hulikal Ghat, suggests alternative routes

The Shivamogga district administration has issued a notification stalling vehicle movement on Hulikal Ghat, a state highway. This decision follows a recent incident where a mound of soil caved in, resulting in deaths. A project to construct a protective wall is underway to prevent landslides, which have occurred in the area during previous rainy seasons. Vehicle movement on the stretch has been prohibited until the ongoing work is completed.
