Title - RESIDENTS PROTEST LEVEL CROSSING CLOSURE

Traffic was hit for around half an hour near the railway level crossing on Korrukkupet – Manali High Road on Monday after a large number of residents and traders protested frequent closure of the level crossing, especially during rush hours. Residents complained office-goers and school children were unable to cross the spot during morning and evening hours as the crossing remains closed to allow goods trains. A police team arrested the protestors and released them later in the day.
