The Nagodi (Nittur) Ghat road, a vital link between coastal Karnataka and the Malnad region, is in a dilapidated state due to heavy rains and lack of maintenance. The 12-km stretch from Kollur Dali to Nagodi Checkpost features 12 sharp curves and is plagued by potholes, minor landslides, and falling trees. The absence of mobile network makes emergency help difficult. With restrictions on heavy vehicles in Agumbe Ghat, Nagodi has become the alternative route, leading to increased traffic and further damage. Authorities state that permanent repairs are on hold due to ongoing National Highway development, though temporary patching is being done. https://udayavani.com/district-news/nagodi-ghat-monsoon-kollur-sigandur-road-320838

Residents of Gawali, Kongla, and Pastoli villages in Belagavi's Khanapur taluk face life-threatening challenges due to the lack of a permanent bridge over the Banduri stream.
