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.
