MADIKERI: Unrelenting rain appears to have exposed problems in the under-construction retaining wall of the Kodagu deputy commissioner's office in Madikeri. The wall has developed a bulge and an accompanying bend, and given that the building extends into the road to Mangaluru, gridlock has become disturbingly commonplace on the road bound for the coastal city.
Eager to prevent chaos on the road, traffic police have diverted vehicular movement on the throughfare. Entry to Mangaluru Road through Madikeri has been barred to ensure that commuters are not imperilled by the retaining wall.
