Mangalore City Police to Take Expert Advice From NIT-K in Solving Traffic Chaos at Hamilton Circle

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime and Traffic) K. Ravishankar said that Mangalore city police have sought the expert opinion from the National Institute of Technology – Karnataka (NIT-K) to address the traffic issues at the Hamilton Circle.

He was responding to demand from councillors to end the traffic chaos at the circle, during the monthly meeting of Mangalore City Corporation council. A professor of the NIT-K visited the spot last week to take stock of the situation. The councillors and police will inspect the Hamilton Circle and A.B. Shetty Junction again on Monday at 10 a.m. to find out a solution to the chaos. Some councillors demanded police and the corporation to withdraw one-way traffic imposed on the loop road (from Clock Tower to Clock Tower via A.B. Shetty Junction, Hamilton Circle and Rao and Rao Circle) and restore two-way traffic between Clock Tower and A.B. Shetty Circle.
