Bridge in Puttur inundated due to heavy rainfall; people accuse officials of ignoring its poor state
Puttur: The Chelyadka Bridge, which connects Puttur and Panaje, has been submerged due to heavy rainfall over the past two days, causing a complete halt in traffic movement on the road.
This bridge encounters inundation during heavy rains on multiple occasions each year, and this year, it has been submerged for the first time on Thursday morning. As a result, vehicles using the route have been compelled to divert to the Mani-Mysuru National Highway, taking a longer and alternate route via Santar and Renja to reach their destinations.
The Chelyadka Bridge, constructed during the British era, is now in dire need of repairs. Local residents have persistently appealed to the authorities for the construction of an alternative bridge that would remain unaffected during the monsoon season. The community is expressing frustration, accusing the representatives and authorities of neglecting the issue despite repeated requests for a resolution.
