Karkala : A bridge located near Mugudugundi enroute Posarugudde via Miyar Jodukatte Kaarolu has developed cracks which are expected to pose danger in the days to come.
Ironically, two MLAs of Karkala had released a sum of Rs 4 lakhs from their MLA funds for the bridge works during their tenures. A plaque mentioning their names can also be seen on the bridge.
Constructed by the Nirmithi Kendra, at the outset it seems the quality of construction is sub-standard. As if this is not suffice, a death trap has emerged close by the bridge due to erosion of soil. There is a fear that this trench may pose danger to several vehicles which pass this way unless the authorities rise to the occasion and take remedial measures.
