MADIKERI: Social and pro-environment groups said the hilly district of Kodagu does not need rail connectivity or wider highways. A national highway project, which envisages the widening of the existing road in the district, has created “fear among locals”.
Over 25 groups which attended a conference at Gonikoppal felt that a 50-ft wide highway is convenient and there is no need for a four-lane road. The meet was organised by Kodagu Maraka Yojane Virodhi Samithi.
