Ayodhya solved; now we'll settle Bababudangiri dispute too: CT Ravi

Chikkamagaluru, Nov 11: In the wake of Supreme Court’s Ayodhya verdict, BJ leader and Karnataka minister CT Ravi has said the state government will soon attempt an out-of-court solution to decades-old Dattatreya Bababudangiri dargah controversy.

The minister said he would invite all stakeholders, including the dargah’s Shakadri family, along with documents from revenue and endowment departments, to find a lasting and amicable solution to the row that’s often called the Ayodhya of the south.

The BJP extended its footprint in coastal and Malnad districts of Karnataka by taking up the Datta Peetha issue in the 1990s, and Ravi is a product of that movement.

Citing revenue department documents, the minister articulated his party’s stand that Datta Peetha and Bababdun darghan are at least 8km apart, and a resolution based on material evidence could be achieved.

In case the talks collapse, then they will resume the ongoing legal battle. The BJP leader blamed the Congress government led by Siddaramaiah for missing an out-of-court opportunity offered by a Supreme Court order three years ago.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
