Will make honest efforts to solve burning issues: SL Bhoje Gowda
Chikmagaluru, June 15: Newly elected member of the Legislative Council from the South-West Teachers Constituency, SL Bhoje Gowda said that though he was representing the teachers community, he would make honest efforts to solve the burning problems of the district as well.
During his first visit to Chikmagalur after winning the election on Thursday, Bhoje Gowda told reporters that though the BJP candidate has been representing the constituency, he failed to solve the problems of teachers and lecturers. This has helped him win the election. As he has won the hearts of the teaching fraternity of the constituency, he won the election and this victory has doubled his responsibilities. He would give priority for the problems of the district, he said appealing the opposition parties and leaders to support him.
Political power is not permanent. But the works done when the persons are in power are permanent. Plain areas in the district have acute water problem, while malnad region has its own problems. He would make honest efforts to solve the problems. He has already discussed with the Chief Minister and the Irrigation Minister who will visit the district soon to get the details on irrigation projects and finding solutions to them, he said.
When HD Kumaraswamy was the chief minister earlier, he had introduced Karagada drinking water problem which was not yet completed. Now, he is the Chief Minister in the coalition government and now it is the right time to finish the project. He has already discussed with the Minor Irrigation Minister on Ayyanakere and Madagadakere filling project, he said.
He also thanked all the teachers, lecturers, party leaders and workers for electing him as their representative.
JDS leaders Chandrappa, Manjappa, Bhyre Gowda, Jayaraj Urs, Ramesh, Deviprasad, Holadagadde Girish and others were present.

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.
