Delay in Pumpwell-Thokkottu NH work: Resignation of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel sought
District Youth JD(S) stages protest
Mangaluru, July 19: The district youth JD(S) urged Lok Sabha Member Nalin Kumar Kateel to resign from his post holding moral responsibility for the delay in completing the Pumpwell-Thokkottu national highway over-bridge work.
The JDS workers staged a protest at the Pumpwell Circle here on Thursday against the delay in completing the work.
Addressing the agitators, Akshith Suvarna of district Youth JDS said that the MP has been giving false assurance to the people without doing anything and thus cheating the people. Though the work was being carried out for the last 7-8 years, it was not yet completed. It has caused accidents and deaths of precious lives. So, this time, he should be rejected as he was responsible for the delay in completing the over bridge work. But the MP has been passing the buck on officers and the construction company, he alleged.
The agitators shouted against the central government, national authority of India and the MP.
Dakshina Kannada district JDS president Muhammad Kunhi Vittla, state organizing secretary Faisal Rehman, youth general secretaries Madhusudhan Gowda and Srinath Rai, party district secretary Ram Ganesh, state leader Gopalkrishna Attavara, district Sumathi Hegde, Ramesh N, Sushil Narhona, Rathnakar Suvarna, Lathief, Muhammad Razaq, Rathish Karkera, Likhit Raj, Muhammad Asif, Hitesh Rai, Bharat Hegde, Kishore Shetty, Sharief Puttur, Satyanarayan, Kaleel, Kalandar, Musafar, Anish, Koushik, Abdul Aziz and others participated.
