Hubballi MLA Mahesh Tenginkai pulled up officials on Monday after noticing that a drain being constructed alongside a flyover project had narrowed the road considerably. During an inspection, he observed that nearly half the available space had been left for the footpath, reducing the carriageway. Deccan Herald reports that Tenginkai became upset and rebuked the engineers on site, demanding an explanation for the poor planning.
