Residents stage protest against bad road

October 21, 2011

Mangalore, October 21: Frustrated residents of Ballalbagh staged a protest on Ballalbagh-Sri Devi College –KSRTC Road recently to draw the attention of Mangalore City Corporation to repair the road and remove silt from storm-water drains at the earliest.

Ganesh, a resident, said that the corporation workers had removed stone slabs of a culvert cutting across the road four days ago. As a result, four-wheelers could not ply on the road. Only two-wheelers could ply. Residents were facing problems because of delay in relaying the stone slabs.

He alleged that the corporation was not bothered about removing silt from storm-water drains on the roadside. The residents would intensity their agitation if the corporation did not solve their problems at the earliest. They staged a protest for an hour from 5.30 p.m.

When contacted, K. Padmanabha, councillor, Kodialbail ward, said that stone slabs had been removed for re-building the culvert whose embankments had collapsed. The work would commence in a week. He said that the road would be asphalted.

Members of the transgender community on Sunday had also taken out a march here to express solidarity with those protesting against CAA, NRC, and NPR.

The newly enacted law is facing stiff opposition across the country with some states including Kerala, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Punjab refusing to implement it. Rajasthan, Kerala, and Punjab have also passed resolutions against the amended citizenship law in their legislative Assemblies.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
