A case that needs to be booked
At the meeting, the Minister ordered Belthangady officials to file a case against two people from Savanal as part of Kudremukh Wildlife Range to drive their two -rounded river, ignore warnings and risk their lives.
When the official informed that they both tried to cross the road where the river was overflowing, Mr. Rao said that such violators need to be reserved. “We have to send a strong message,” Mr. Rao said. The Commissioner’s representative stated that the case would be reserved against them.
Muhilan was angry at the fact that the Bantwal city community adopted a resolution that allowed all vehicles to move on the old steel bridge of Panmanmangalur via Netrajravathi, although the district administration was banned until the department concerned submitted a report on its stability and safety.
Mr. Rao said that the municipalities wrote to him and searched for permission to allow all vehicles on the bridge. Mr. Muhilan said that the movement of heavy vehicles was banned on the bridge by placing a barrier. However, the main vehicles began from the last month.
The Minister then ordered that the ban on the movement of heavy vehicles continued until the district administration receives a report on the stability of the bridge.
