Speaker Khader votes with family at Boliyar in Mangaluru
Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader voted with his wife Lamees Khader and daughter Hawwa Naseema in the morning at Ranthadka Higher Primary School in Jaradagudde near Boliyar in Mangaluru.
Speaking to reporters later, Khader said that “Vote is our right. Every eligible voter must do his duty by voting without any apathy. Everyone has an equal opportunity in voting: it’s a single vote for a rich man and the same for a poor. So everyone must execute this constitutional right to equality”.
Referring to the common complaint about city people not voting in enough numbers despite the first preference given to them in development, U T Khader requested all city dwellers to participate enthusiastically in voting.
Khader’s personal assistant Muhammad Libzath, Congress leader Jabbar Boliyar and others were present.

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.
