AB. Shetty Traffic Junction & Hamilton Traffic Junction in Mangalore to be Beautified by Creating Traffic Islands

Mangalore city Mayor Premanand Shetty said that the A.B. Shetty traffic junction and Hamilton traffic junction will be beautified by creating traffic islands and there is no question of removing those names. Both the circles were removed for widening the road and creating Clock Tower to Clock Tower loop road via A.B. Shetty junction and Hamilton junction.

The former Mayor and Cantonment ward councillor Divakar expressed the need for restoration of the traffic island, which was created in the name of Vijaya Bank founder and former Madras Presidency Minister A.B. Shetty. Senior councillor Shashidhar Hegde said delay in restoration of the traffic islands had led to doubts about whether the MCC was retaining the names of these erstwhile circles, he said.
