Humane act of cops gets public appreciation
Ujire, June 12: It was horrible experience for the motorists and passengers on the Charmadi Ghat road today. As the road was blocked due to landslide, the hundreds of vehicles stuck on the road without any alternative route.
But the passengers and motorists, mainly aged and children, found it difficult to spend time in the vehicles without water and food for hours. Noticing their plight, the police personnel of the Dakshina Kannada police helped the passengers and motorists with drinking water and biscuits and exhibited their humanity. This humane act of the police personnel attracted widespread appreciation.
Because of the heavy rainfall, landslides were occurred blocking the entire road at second and third curve of the ghat section. This situation has forced the vehicles to stop on the road without any option. Responding quickly, the police allowed the traffic movement in an alternative route. But the police had tough time to clear the vehicles standing in queues.
As the children, aged and diabetes patients in the vehicles were suffering without drinking water and food, the police supplied drinking water and biscuits to them.
One way traffic
Now, the police have taken steps to remove the mud from one side of the road and allowed the traffic movement. Shortly, remaining mud would also be removed and ensure two way traffic, said Dakshina Kannada SP Ravikanthe Gowda.

Time to give half of country's population its rights: PM Modi to LS MPs on women's quota bill
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday appealed to all Lok Sabha members to vote in favour of the women's reservation bill and not do anything that might hurt the sentiments of the country's 'nari shakti'.
Hours before the voting on the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which provides for 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, Modi also said that for four decades, a great deal of politics has been played on the issue of women's quota and it is now time that half the country's population gets its rights.
Members of the Lower House will also vote on the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill for the delimitation of constituencies and increasing the strength of the Lok Sabha to 816 to implement the proposed amended women's quota law.
"In just a short while, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge all political parties... I appeal...Please, after due consideration and with complete sensitivity, take a decision and vote in favour of women's reservation.
"On behalf of the country's 'Nari Shakti', I also plead to all members... please do not do anything that might hurt the sentiments of 'Nari Shakti'," Modi said in his appeal in Hindi posted on X.
He said this is a great opportunity to extend service to the women of the country and to honour them, and the MPs should not deprive them of new opportunities.
"I would say to all the members of Parliament... Keeping in mind your mother, sister, daughter and wife at home, listen to your conscience. If this amendment is passed by consensus, the women of the country will become even more empowered. The democracy of the country will become even more empowered," he said.
"Come, let us together create history today. Give the women of India, the country's half population, their rightful due," the PM said.
