Too late a realisation
Minister for Energy, Kannada and Culture and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge V. Sunil Kumar took nearly six months to realise that a portion of Bengaluru-Mangaluru National Highway-75 in Sakleshpur taluk was non-motorable.
By the time he understood the reality and directed the NHAI along with Public Works Minister C.C. Patil to restore the road, the rain was pounding the ghat stretch and it was impossible to restore the road.
