A four-day protest by residents of various localities on Karwar Road here demanding relocation of a dumping yard was suspended late on Thursday night, following specific assurances given by Municipal Commissioner Ishwar Ullgaddi.
The residents, who launched the protest under the aegis of Dumping Yard Removal Committee led by Congress leader Nagaraj Gouri, were upset over the apathy of the municipal authorities towards the hardships being caused due to the unscientific manner of treating solid waste at the dumping yard on Karwar Road.
Due to their protest, which received support from various organisations, the authorities diverted garbage tippers to the other dumping yard in Dharwad.
