Bridge in Byndoor’s Nirodi village washed away following heavy rains
Byndoor: Owing to the heavy rains that the district has been witnessing over the past few days, a bridge in the Nirodi Village in Byndoor Taluk washed away on Monday due to the heavy flow in the stream.
Constructed at a cost of Rs. 3 lakh, the bridge was inaugurated earlier last year by the local panchayath. On Monday, the bridge washed away completely leading to inconveniences to the locals.
The village predominantly comprises Maratha speaking population, and now, with the bridge washed away, school students, farmers, and laborers are facing challenges in reaching the neighboring village.
In response to the situation, Farmer Activist Veerabhadra Ganiga has sought urgent action from the Udupi District Collector, Byndoor Tehsildar, and Town Panchayat officials. He further warned that if prompt measures are not taken, they will initiate a protest against this matter.

22 students hospitalised post-lunch at Telangana school; probe underway
Hyderabad, Nov 26: At least 22 students from a government school in Telangana's Narayanpet district were hospitalised on Tuesday after complaining of headaches and stomach aches. Officials are investigating whether the illness was linked to the lunch served at the school.
The affected students had also eaten snacks from nearby bakeries and shops, and samples have been collected for laboratory testing, according to the District Educational Officer (DEO), based on preliminary information.
Over 400 students, along with district authorities, the school headmaster, and teachers, had the mid-day meal at Zilla Parishad High School in Maganoor on Tuesday. However, 22 students began experiencing symptoms of headaches, stomach pain, and vomiting at 3.30 pm.
They were admitted to a hospital, where doctors confirmed they were safe after treatment, the official said. One student who vomited claimed the potatoes and brinjal were inadequately cooked, while another had a stomach ache.
It was alleged that the affected students fell ill after having lunch, though they had also eaten snacks from outside the school. District authorities are investigating the matter from all angles, said a senior official.
This incident follows a similar case on November 20, when 17 students from the same school were hospitalised after consuming a mid-day meal.
