Mangaluru, Aug 4: Cases were slapped against as many as 193 conductors by the Mangaluru City Traffic Police in a single day for not issuing tickets to passengers. The cops also collected a fine of Rs 19,300 through Friday’s operation.

The unexpected action was a fallout of the weekly phone-in programme of City Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh, wherein many callers used to complain about non-issue of tickets by conductors and their rude behaviour. This Friday too, Mr. Suresh heard a couple of complaints on this issue.

Having promised to crack the whip against errant conductors last week, Mr. Suresh directed MCTP to immediately take action, which should be done at regular intervals. He also asked traffic police to take the help of civil police in the operation.

Almost one-third of complaints received, during the phone-in programme, pertained to Route No. 15 and its sub-numbers plying between Mangaladevi and Surathkal and beyond.

Though there are allegations that bus owners, with permits, have sub-leased the buses to the crew on fixed daily payment, neither the transport department nor the MCTP have taken any action against the illegal practice.

A caller from Jeppu complained that these buses instead of plying via Morgan’s Gate directly reach Mangaladevi via Marnamikatte.

Another caller complained about shrill horns being used and the overspeeding of these buses while one more caller rued about non issue of tickets.

The Commissioner promised stringent action on all complaints.

A caller from Kadri had a list of complaints and suggestions, including the free-left turn at Vas Bakery Junction near St. Agnes being occupied by parked vehicles; vehicle parking on the road at Kankanadi and Balmatta Juice Junction; vehicles being driven on the wrong-direction to reach Kadri petrol pump etc. The Commissioner promised to attend them.

Another caller rued about city buses halting on the main road on either side of the Railway level crossing at Pandeshwara blocking movement of other vehicles and pedestrians.

Mangaluru, July 5: Two children died after getting trapped under the debris of a landslide which occurred at Banglagudde in Kaikamba on the outskirts of Mangaluru today.

The deceased are identified as Safwan (16) and Sahala (10).

The rescue teams including personnel from NDRF, fire service and police brought out the body after four hours of rescue operation.

According to sources, landslides occurred at 12:30 pm and of the five members, three ran out of the house. The two kids got trapped in the debris.

The heavy rain in the last two days has softened the soil of the hillock. An Auto-rickshaw, lorry and a bike too have buried under the soil.

It was said that caving in of the hillock continued even when the rescue operation was in progress, thus making the rescue operation difficult.

District-in-Charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary who visited the spot said two houses have been completely damaged and inmates of 14 houses that are facing the problem in the vicinity will be shifted to safer locations.
