Vehicles owners protest police action against unauthorized parking vehicles on roads
Mangaluru, July 15: Protesting against the action on parking vehicles before the marriage halls, the owners of the vehicles staged a protest against the police here on Sunday.
Marriage programmes were arranged more than three places in the city on Sunday. But the people who came to marriage functions parked their vehicles on roads illegally. Last week, some residents in the city urged the police in a phone-in programme, to take action against parking vehicles on roads. The police department also responded to that demand.
On Sunday, vehicles were parked on the roads in some places before the marriage halls. Based on that assurance, the police locked the wheels of the vehicles thus parked on the roads. But the vehicle owners who did not expect this action protested against the police who initiated legal action against the vehicle owners.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
