Mangaluru : District incharge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao directed Belthangady officials to file a case against two persons from Savanalu village under the Kudremukh Wildlife range for riding their two-wheeler across a swollen river, disregarding warnings and thereby risking their lives.
When an official informed that the two tried to cross the road where the river was overflowing, Mr. Rao said such violators need to be booked. “We need to send out a strong message,” Mr. Rao said. The Deputy Commissioner said a case will be booked against the two.
Mr. Muhilan was upset over Bantwal Town Municipality passing a resolution allowing the movement of all vehicles on the old Panemangaluru steel bridge across Netravathi, despite the district administration having banned it until the department concerned submitted a report on its stability and safety.
Mr. Rao said the municipality has written to him seeking permission to allow the movement of all vehicles on the bridge. Mr. Muhilan said the movement of heavy vehicles was banned on the bridge by placing a barrier. However, heavy vehicles began plying the bridge from last month.
Then the Minister instructed that the ban on the movement of heavy vehicles should continue until the district administration receives the report on the stability of the bridge.
