CM Kumaraswamy extends helping hand to handless woman
Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday morning found a woman a handless woman near his residence at JP Nagar in the city. The chief minister spoke to her and provided her a job and disability pension.
It is a daily routine that hundreds of people with various requests come and stand in front of the Chief Minister’s residence in JP Nagar. But today morning a handless woman with a baby was found standing in front of the CM’s house. The chief ministers noticed her and asked, why have you come here? “My name is Shaila, and I have come from Davangere. My right hand was cut off in a lorry accident, but I learned to type by right hand, provide me a job,” the woman responded.
Then the Chief Minister asked her to come to Vidhana Soudha. CM Kumaraswamy received her at Vidhana Soudha at 11:30 am. Then he instructed the concerned departments to immediately provide her a typist job in Davanagere and disability pension.
Speaking at the occasion, CM Kumaraswamy said “government should have the mother's heart. With this, we can do a lot of work in the system itself. But to help people in the unorganized sector, we need to work by expanding our legal frameworks. My heart was moved to see her in such a pitiful state. There are hundreds of thousands of people like her. A separate arrangement has to be made for their employment.

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.
