For the residents of HD Kote taluk, there can be no alternate alignment. If they come up with one, then that will be at least 250 Kms long. Right now it mananthavadi to HD Kote is about 55 kms. If at all they come up with a circuiteous route, then it will 200 kms longer.

Mohan - I beg to disagree. These people have been residents there for generations and the roads have existed for decades. Stopping thro traffic is different from denying right of way to local communities. Their livelihood is dependant on their ability to access markets. Even the wildlife (protection) Act 1972, gives you right of way. It is their fundamental right to have the right of way.
