Mangalore, August 13: Members of CPI(M) held a protest in front of the Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) on Monday demanding basic facilities for the people of Bangra Kulur.
Speaking on the occasion Sunil Kumar Bajal, CPI(M) leader, said that people of Bangra Kulur have for long been neglected by the authorities as their area continues to lack adequate roads and basic facilities.
Improper drainage system has resulted in not just caused inconvenience to the people using roads but also has had an impact on the agricultural lands of the area. The unclean state of the place is placing an open invitation to diseases like malaria, dengue and chikungunya, he said, adding that roads of the region too need urgent attention and tarring.
Stating that the condition of the bridge connecting Bangra Kulur residents to the city through Dambel is in a dangerous state, Mr. Bajal said that the 1979 bridge only facilitates two wheeler movement. There have been instances of two wheelers falling off the narrow bridge into the waters in the past, he said.
The area also needs urgent attention in terms of rectification of electric poles which are posing threats of electric shocks, lack of lamp posts and pathetic condition of roads during rainy season, he said.
