Congress former president and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi is likely to come down to Wayanad in Kerala on Oct 3 to express solidarity with the ongoing indefinite stir by various outfits against the traffic restrictions along the NH-766 passing through Bandipur tiger reserve.
The hunger stir that entered the sixth day on Monday gained more strength with more outfits joining the stir.
A long march of farmers was also organised. The agitators maintained that the traffic restrictions were causing inconvenience to people of Kerala and Karnataka.
The fresh stir was initiated in the wake of the Centre denying Kerala’s repeated pleas for elevated highway along Bandipur and also going ahead with the SC suggestion to permanently shut the Bandipuar route after strengthening the alternative route through NH-275 and state highway 90.
