Road connectivity between Mangalore and Bengaluru was almost disrupted on Thursday, July 18, following the closure of National Highway 75 due to incident of landslips in Sakleshpur taluk and NH 275 at night. The Hassan Deputy Commissioner ordered the closure of the highway till the National Highways Authority of India carries out the repair and restoration works as a precautionary measure. Following this, the Dakshina Kannada district police began diverting Hassan and Bengaluru-bound traffic either via Charmadi Ghat towards Mudigere or Sampaje Ghat towards Madikeri and Mysuru from Thursday morning.

An order prohibiting the movement of all kinds of vehicles on NH 275 was made due to a perceived threat of a landslip near Karthoji between Sampaje and Madikeri.
