HUBBALLI: Anxiety among the people over the condition of the roads in and around the twin cities has mounted many notches following the recent tragic accident on Hubballi-Dharwad bypass road that cost the life of 11 people. Worried residents have launched a signature campaign to push the authorities concerned towards making the bypass road, a stretch infamous for accidents, one on which nearly 30 to 35 fatalities are reported on average each year.
Although a similar campaign was launched a year ago and more than 13,000 signatures collected, little was done to make the road safer for commute.
