Udupi: Brahmavara police arrived on the scene to register a case on Monday evening in rash driving on Suratkal-Kundapura stretch on NH66 (17), when the work was in full swing on four-laning undertaken by the Navyug construction Co, the road contractors.

Their vehicles have been moving in full speed, with least care/consideration for other lives and/or properties around.

The vehicle drivers are young in age and speedy in driving the vehicles. Did they have licenses to drive tippers, was not known even under verification.

Only the police could tell.
