Proposed Over Bridge Through Forest


The night traffic ban imposed by the honorable high court of Karnataka along the stretches that  passing through Bandipur national park in NH 212 wide order no; WP17498/2009 Karnataka HC (09-03-2010) has seriously and adversely affected the economic, healthcare, educational and agricultural sectors of Wayanad district.

                   The night travel ban has evoked an insecurity feeling and a sort of anti-environmental mindset among the people of the district. The Kutta - Gonikkuppa road which was suggested as the alternative to divert the night traffic of nj212 also passes a stretch of 19 km through Wayanad wild life sanctuary. In effect the order of the honorable Karnataka high court has resulted in shifting the entire night traffic from the Bandipur national park region to the Wayanad wild life sanctuary. The solution for the alleged night traffic resulted problems through the wild life sanctuary is the construction of over bridges in national park area.
