Members of the Bajal-Pakkaladka and Jalligudde units of DYFI as well as local residents took part in the fishing in the stagnant water' protest at the RuB at 10 a.m.

In a release issued here, DYFI district secretary Santosh Bajal said that the residents were put to hardship because of the non-completion of the project.

“It is almost a year since the RUB was constructed Padil-Bajal main road. However, Mangaluru City Corporation has still not been able to set right this vital road that provides access to many other adjoining areas. The construction of RUB has totally cut off the road connecting Faisalnagar and Jayanagar. People of these areas are forced to walk up to the main road at Padil for their daily needs and vocation,” he noted.

The RUB has been constructed in an unscientific manner and rain water collects there as there is no proper drainage facility. It is difficult for motorists to use this road, especially after it has rained, he said.

People are forced to use alternative and longer routes to avoid this mess in order to reach the city, he said adding the present situation has arisen squarely because of total lack of coordination between the civic body and Palakkad division of Southern Railways, he complained.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: A delegation of Christians, led by Peter Machado, archbishop of Bengaluru, met chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday and sought an amicable solution to the issue of installing a statue of Jesus Christ atop Kapalibetta in Harobele village, Kanakapura taluk.

Yediyurappa is learnt to have assured the delegation of doing the needful and said he would take a decision after the revenue department submits its report. The department is looking into various aspects of the issue, including the sanction of 10 acres of land for the purpose.

“The meeting was cordial and the chief minister lent us a patient hearing. Our only request was to settle the issue in a way that is acceptable to all sections of society,” Machado said. Congress functionary and Kanakapura legislator DK Shivakumar had laid the foundation stone for the 114-foot statue of Christ on Kapalibetta on Christmas Day at an event organised by the Harobele Kapalibetta Development Trust, which plans to install the statue.

The issue took a political hue when BJP functionaries objected, saying the land sanctioned to the trust is part of gomala (reserved for cattle grazing) land and any religious activity there would be illegal. Revenue minister R Ashoka sought a report and department officials said they would submit it in a week’s time.
