Mangaluru, Nov 25: Nalin Kumar Kateel, who represents Dakshina Kannada in Indian parliament, has said that he is a Hindu first and parliamentarian later.

After accepting a memorandum submitted by the Sangh Parivar during a Janagraha convention organised at Nehru Maidan, to exert pressure on the Centre to construct Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the MP assured that construction of Ram Mandir will begin in 2019.

He said that for him Ram Mandir was a priority over his political position. “I am a Hindu and Ram Mandir is my first priority. I am a Parliamentarian later. I assure the issue will be discussed on priority during the Winter Session,” he said.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

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.
