The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been urged to declare the road corridor connecting Channarayapatna, Holenarsipur, Arkalgud, Kodlipet, Madikeri and Virajpet in Karnataka and Makutta in Kerala (on Kerala-Karnataka border) as a national highway.
It is believed that the road network, after being upgraded into a national highway, is expected to spur economic activity in the region, especially in Kodagu which lacks good road connectivity. K
In this connection, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha met NHAI Chairperson Alka Upadhyaya in New Delhi and urged her to declare the road corridor as NH.
