Farmers protest by begging on Kanakapura Main Road demanding bypass construction

Farmers and citizens held a unique protest on Sunday, begging with bodies wrapped in jute sacks and holding utensils, demanding the construction of a bypass road from Udayapura to Somanahalli Gate Tollway on Kanakapura Main Road. Protestors criticized the National Highway Authority's delay tactics, displaying a sign reading 'Give Charity' on their necks. They stated that the 7 km stretch from Udayapura to Somanahalli Gate Tollway is narrow, causing daily accidents, and that four people died in accidents in one month. The protest included leaders like Nadeem Pasha, Ramu, Venkatesh, Kenchappa, and others.
