Information and Request on the issue of Nanthoor circle

Dear Friends from Mangalore,

This post is about initiatives that are required for having a safe, convenient and scientific circle at Nanthoor Mangalore.

There is a lot of information that we want to share with you.Kindly spare few minutes to read the whole post.

For those who just want quick links to contribute in this , we request you to sign and share this online petition
Online petition for change

Our appeal is to all the citizens. This campaign cannot be a one political party affair, although any party/organisation can take it and we want them to take initiatives. We request people from all ideologies to join this cause. If we get 1000 signatures, we shall convey it to the concerned authorities. A special appeal to media people to spread the word.

Although, we have started seeing some action by the local authorities click on this to know about it we have not achieved complete success.

When some of our members (Mr.Joseph James Martis and Mr.Walter Menezes) met the National highways manager and got stock of this situation, they came to know about few things.


  1. NHAI Project plan is ready, approved but the only major hurdle to start is the release of funds from the centre. It is on the top priority for this sector.
  2. Contrary to what is reported, it is not just an underpass, it will be both-Underpass as well as flyover. This was confirmed by the manager who had the sanctioned copy with him.
  3. Even if the NHAI gets the funds, the project can be done smoothly after MUDA does its job of clearing that area. MUDA (Mangalore urban development Authority) will have to shift the cables, drainage lines, water pipes, electric cables, etc so that NHAI ccan do the work. It is estimated that this part of the work might take few months before NHAI can actually start its work. So, Why not pressurize MUDA to do its job from today itself?
With these information in the background, our social responsibility is not quite over yet.

Let us do our best, little or more, but surely which matters in our ultimate aim of making Mangalore a better place to live.

What can we do?


1. Sign and share the online petition which is the easiest thing to do. It takes few clicks and nothing more. After sharing that peition on your facebook timeline, you can even invite your friends to do the same. Online petition for change
