October 12, 2016

Kannur, Oct 12: A BJP activist was hacked to death in Kerala's Kannur on Wednesday, in what is suspected to be revenge killing two days after a worker of the ruling CPI(M) was murdered in the same district.

The police have strengthened patrolling and deployment in sensitive areas across Kannur in view of the tense situation.

On Monday, 52-year-old CPI(M) worker Mohanan K was attacked at his toddy shop in a busy market and hacked to death by four or five men.

Kannur has witnessed a string of attacks on political workers since the Left government came to power in May. Over 300 cases of political violence have been reported in the district in the past five months.

The opposition has accused the government of not acting against the growing political violence.

The murdered people during the period include three CPI(M) workers and two BJP-RSS workers.

In addition to this, a BJP worker had died in a bomb explosion near Kathirur while handling bombs kept in his house. With the latest murder, this year's death toll in political violence in the district so far rose to seven, three CPI(M) workers and four BJP-RSS workers.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

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.
