With a surge in
tourist traffic at Hampi, a number of violations are being reported. Though heavy vehicles are banned from the interior routes of Hampi, some buses were seen taking this route, posing a danger to the historical monuments. A few days ago, a bus almost got struck at the Harishankara gate as it was heading to the Vijaya Vittala temple. Sources said that instead of taking a detour of six kilometres to reach the temple, the bus driver preferred to take the route passing through various mantaps and also caused slight damage to the mantaps.
