Death of woman: MLA Khader promises compensation
Heavy rains in and around Mangaluru
Mangaluru, May 29: Saying that compensation would be given shortly to the family members of Mohini who died when the compound wall collapsed here on Tuesday, MLA UT Khader said that he has already directed the officials concerned to give compensation to the houses damaged in the rain within a week.
Mangaluru and other parts of the district received heavy rains and in some places, houses were damaged. So, the district level officials were directed to identify such houses and give compensation to them. If needed, gruel centres would be opened for the flood victims, he said.
Complain to central minister
Khader said that because of the unscientific construction of the national highway, artificial flood was created during the rain in the city. There is no proper way to let the rain water in the highway. Though memorandums were submitted to National Highway Authority of India to rectify it, no action was taken. The officials have not responded to his appeal of conducting the meeting and discuss the issue. For name sake, an assistant officer has inspected the area and promised of solving the problem. But no action was taken so far. He would write a letter to Union Minister of Transportation Nitin Gadkari to make proper exit points in the highway and convene a meeting of the NHAI shortly, he said.
