Bengaluru, Jul 24: The Public Works Department is in the process of drawing a list of areas in Malnad and coastal regions where small bridges would be constructed to provide connectivity to villages during monsoon.

Currently, residents use wooden rafts called ‘sanka’ during monsoon to establish connectivity to mainland when the level in the river/rivulets rises.

Speaking to presspersons in Bengaluru on Monday, Public Works Minister H.D. Revanna said that a meeting will be held on Monday and Tuesday to decide the approximate number of small bridges to be constructed in these areas. “The proposal is to construct bridges measuring between 2m and 5m that can accommodate two-wheelers and three-wheelers. This will be taken up this year on a priority basis,” he said.

The issue came to the fore after a girl was washed away in Tirthahalli recently and Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy had assured to address the problem. Mr. Revanna also said that he has asked 32 legislators of constituencies in Malnad and coastal areas to help identify the problem areas.

Comments

Tragedies are already occured and monsoon going to end soon. This govt has no supervision. Thinking only after happened something

New way to loot some money. It wont be practical till this year end of monsoon

Concrete bridges in all area are not practical. Govt should form emergency action team they should work accordingly to the rural places. Each rural landscapes are unique

Concrete footbridges are safe. Wooden bidge may cause serious tragedies

Supreme Court grants bail to 17 Gujarat mass massacre CONVICTS, asks admin to find them work

News Network

January 28,2020

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.
