Grievances pour in at SC/ST meet: Bridge built far from Koraga settlement, says activist
MANGALURU: Social activist Shekhar Laila raised several concerns affecting marginalised communities in Belthangady at the SC/ST grievances redressal meeting held by Mangaluru City Police and Dakshina Kannada District Police on Sunday. He highlighted the plight of around 200 Malekudiya families living across nine villages in Kudremukh National Park who are deprived of basic amenities like electricity and road access. Laila also mentioned that six to seven Koraga families in Atrinje, Sulkeri, are forced to cross a river using a fragile wooden log during the monsoon. Although a new bridge was sanctioned, it was constructed nearly a kilometre away from their settlement, making it difficult to access—especially for school-going children. Superintendent of Police Dr Arun K assured that the matter would be verified and suitable action would be taken. Laila also reported a near-mishap at Ithilapela in Savanalu, where a two-wheeler rider and pillion were almost swept away while crossing a flooded stream, due to the absence of a proper bridge. The SP requested a list of villages requiring footbridges and assured that a proposal would be forwarded to the concerned authorities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!
