Gundlupet MLA C.S. Niranjan Kumar has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking development of NH 766 that cuts through Bandipur Tiger Reserve and this has triggered outrage among activists.
The MLA has stated in his letter that there is a two-way road with divider from Mysuru to Nanjangud, but from Nanjangud to the Kerala border via Gundlupet, it is a single road without divider.
