Minister Khader asks DC to fix time for movement of heavy vehicles on Shiradi-Sampaje
Mangaluru, September 23: District Minister U.T. Khader directed the deputy commissioner to fix time for heavy vehicles for the smooth vehicular movement on Shiradi and Sampaje ghats.
Haphazard movement of heavy vehicles including buses would cause traffic congestion on both the roads in the ghat section. In order to avoid this, the district administration should prepare a time table after discussing the pros and cons in detail, he said.

Kejriwal admits AAP Government failed to fulfil three promises, Congress criticises
New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal admitted during a speech at Laxmi Bai Nagar that his government failed to fulfil three major promises made earlier. He assured the gathering that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is working towards addressing these issues.
Kejriwal said, "I could not fulfil three promises, cleaning the Yamuna River, providing clean drinking water 24 hours a day, and upgrading Delhi’s roads to European standards." He also reminded the audience of his 2023 promise to clean the Yamuna and take a dip in its waters before the 2025 Assembly polls. Recently, he inaugurated a 24-hour drinking water supply in Rajendra Nagar and vowed to extend this initiative across Delhi.
Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit, contesting against Kejriwal, criticised him for failing to address pollution in the Yamuna and Delhi's toxic air. Dikshit, son of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, alleged that the Kejriwal government had neglected setting up sewage treatment plants, worsening the Yamuna's pollution.
He also attributed Delhi’s air pollution to the rising number of vehicles, lack of a strong public transport system, and diminishing green cover. "The number of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses has decreased from 5,500 in 2013 to around 3,000 now," Dikshit added.
