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.

Governor assents to Karnataka SC Sub-Classification Bill; Recruitment process to begin soon
Bengaluru: Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has given assent to the ‘Karnataka Scheduled Castes (Sub-Classification) Bill-2025’, which had been pending for several days. With this, the process of recruitment to various government posts is expected to begin soon.
The Bill had earlier been kept pending by the Governor due to differences and concerns raised over the distribution of internal reservation among sub-groups within the Scheduled Castes.
In the meantime, a delegation led by Social Welfare Minister Dr H.C. Mahadevappa, along with ministers K.H. Muniyappa, Dr G. Parameshwara, R.B. Thimmapur, Priyank Kharge and Satish Jarkiholi, met the Governor and requested him to grant assent to the Bill.
During the discussions, they also referred to the protests by job aspirants in Dharwad demanding that recruitment be initiated. Following this, the Governor signed the ‘Karnataka Scheduled Castes (Sub-Classification) Bill-2025’. The government is now likely to commence recruitment procedures shortly.
The Bill relating to internal reservation among Scheduled Castes was introduced and passed on December 19 during the winter session held at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi. It was then sent to the Governor for assent.
Earlier, the Governor had returned the Bill to the government seeking clarifications, which temporarily delayed the implementation of internal reservation.
As per the recommendations of the Justice Nagamohan Das Commission, quota distribution has been fixed at 6 per cent for Left-Hand sub-groups, 6 per cent for Right-Hand sub-groups, and 5 per cent for other sub-groups including Koracha, Lambani and Bhovi.
