Stranded Lorries near Padil underpass disrupts traffic
Mangaluru: Two commercial Lorries transporting oversized machinery to MRPL became stranded near the Padil overpass on Tuesday, leading to a traffic jam that hindered the movement of other vehicles in the area.
The Lorries were transporting machine parts from Gujrat and were enroute to MRPL to deliver them. The vehicles transporting large machine parts reached the Padil underpass beside the National Highway on Monday night and made an abrupt stop unable to cross the underpass.
The machinery being transported was ginormous, which made it impossible for the Lorries to enter the narrow tunnel causing the Lorries to make an unplanned stop near the underpass at Padil.
As many instances similar to this have reportedly occurred at the very spot in the past, the inconvenienced citizens have expressed their anger and blamed the unscientific construction of the underpass that does not accommodate the transport of large items in the narrow tunnel.

Woman duped of Rs 25 lakh in fake Canada visa scam; 1 held
Shimla (PTI): A woman has been arrested from Punjab for allegedly duping another woman of Rs 25 lakhs by promising her to arrange a visa for Canada, police said on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Manju Kumari, a resident of Punjab.
Senior Superintendent of Police SSP Shimla Gaurav Singh said that Manju had contacted the woman several months ago and had promised her to arrange a visa for Canada.
"After this, she asked for money for the same from the victim, which she transferred to her on multiple occasions. However, as time went by, Manju started to make various excuses and ignored her calls," the SSP said.
Upon suspecting being defrauded, the victim's brother registered a complaint, and a case was registered under sections 318 (4) (cheating), 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) and 352 (2) (intentional insults designed to provoke a breach of peace) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the SSP said.
"Police teams were sent to Haryana and Punjab, but she kept evading arrest as she kept changing her locations as well as her mobile numbers. However, the police teams successfully arrested her on Sunday from a flat located in Kharar in Punjab," he said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, and the defrauded money is also being recovered, he added.
