Mangaluru: MCC Civic Group and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a protest today by fishing and floating paper boats in potholes filled with water here at Kankanady Market Road.

Addressing the gathering, social activist Gerald Towers pointed out that even after repeated demands officials of the MCC have not responded to demands of locals to look into the road conditions here. These potholes pose a danger to the lives of commuters; he added and alleged a nexus between officials and corporators who receive a certain cut for each MCC project.

The Protestors dressed like fishermen also said that the roads were in a bad condition even before the onset of Monsoons. The protestors demanded that the MCC take necessary steps to avaid any mishaps in this area.
