Justice Hegde was traveling from Mangalore to Bangalore on February 25. The traffic was stranded near Jodupala, 20 Km from here as a lorry and a bus collided head on and blocked the road.

Lokayukta was one among the many vehicles stranded on the either sides of the road. The rural police from Madikeri took a very long time to arrive at the spot and he had to wait from 1445 hrs to 1800 hrs for clearing the road and continue the journey.
