Bantwal, Sep 24: There is no need to destroy the entire town of Kalladka to make way for the Highway project. Instead let them build a bypass road,” said Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Udupi Pejawar Math.

Speaking to reporters on September 24, Tuesday morning after holding discussions with the Rashtriya Heddari Santrasthara Horata Samithi, the Swamiji said going in for a NH expansion at Kalladka would greatly affect the town as shops and residences will have to be displaced and hundreds would lose their livelihood and properties.  Instead of this constructing a bypass road was the best solution to the problem he felt.
