Demand for removal of 2018 assembly election flex at Udupi taluk office premises
Udupi: Despite the conclusion of two assembly elections and one Lok Sabha election, with the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Udupi taluk office premises still display a flex promoting voting awareness for the 2018 Vidhan Sabha elections.
The presence of this flex, which reminds people to vote correctly, is causing confusion among the public. Social activists have urged authorities to promptly remove this outdated flex, especially since it is located near the taluk office, where thousands of people pass by daily.
Previously, there was a flex advertising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was cleared by authorities in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
