Farmers led by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha staged a road blockade agitation at Kurudumale Cross on the Mulbagal-Srinivasapur Highway 234 on Thursday. They were demanding early completion of work on the road which is going on since three years.
Non-completion of the work is causing inconvenience to motorists. Several people are losing lives in accidents due to the condition of the road, the outfit said in a memorandum submitted to Mulbagal Tahsildar. The contractors should be penalised for slow pace of work, the KRRS said.
The Tahsildar said action will be taken to complete the work in three months. The contractors will be blacklisted if they fail to execute the work by that period, he added.
