Karnataka's Ulaibettu villagers plan roadblock protest over bridge closure and transport issues

Residents of Ulaibettu village are demanding a temporary alternative road by November 12th due to the closure of a bridge deemed structurally unsound. The closure has disrupted bus services, forcing commuters to rely on expensive autorickshaws. Despite a ban on heavy vehicles, trucks continue to use the route, adding to the villagers' woes.
