MANGALURU: A meeting of stakeholders convened by deputy commissioner K V Rajendra on Thursday, put an end to the problems of people travelling on Mangaluru-Talapady buses.
Ever since the National Highway toll gate started functioning at Talapady, on the inter-state border, city buses from Mangaluru to Talapady terminated their trips near the toll gate to avoid payment of toll. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is offering monthly passes, but the city buses from Mangaluru to Talapady have been cutting short trips before the toll gate, to avoid paying toll. As a result, people, including children and the elderly, are made to walk for nearly half-a-kilometre to the Talapady bus stand, located on the southern side of the toll gate.

Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner KV Rajendra said from Monday, travellers from Kerala will have to enter Karnataka and return via four checkposts and health department teams will screen them. All those entering must furnish a Covid-19 negative certificate obtained 72 hours prior to the journey.
