On Friday evening on November 15, there was a head on collision among two cars near Amadalli, on NH 66 in Karwar taluka, Uttara Kannada (U.K) district, Karnataka. Both the cars suffered damages because of the impact, and no precious lives were lost.
locals who assembled vent out their anger and frustration at the IRB which has unscientifically designed the road, and is the sole reason and cause for accidents. They protested against IRB, and wanted the officials visit the accident spot, they refused to leave the highway (NH 66) which connects Goa via Karwar. Some of the protesters who blocked the highway wanted a complaint to be filed against IRB.
There was verbal altercation amongst the police and the affected angry locals. The residents of Amadalli and the surrounding areas refused to make way. NH 66 witnessed a massive traffic jam, and vehicular traffic came to a standstill on both sides of the highway for close to 45minutes.
The poorly designed bridge is said to be the cause of the accident. When there was an accident the last time, even then the locals had protested. The IRB officials promised to solve the problem within a month, and later on forget to address the issue. All the protesting locals were unanimous about the negligence on part of the IRB in poorly designing the entire road infrastructure on NH 66.
