June 15, 2011

Mangalore, June 15: As per the directions of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, the District Congress Committee launched 'Congress Nadige-Janara Balige' on Thursday, June 15, at Bengre Kasba, here.

Prior to launching the two-month long campaign, District Congress Committee President Ramanath Rai said a team has been constituted in each block with one district-level leader and two observors to look into the activities during campaign.

The campaign intends to visit all the booths in all the eight constituencies and create awareness on the achievements of the UPA government. The campaign aims at strengthening the party at the grassroot-level.

He said “the campaign aims at informing the masses on the UPA government's programmes like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), National Rural Health Mission, National Horticulture Mission, Krishi Vikasa Yojane, programmes meant for the welfare of minorities like 15-point programme. It will highlight the failure of the BJP led government in the State to distribute sites and Ashraya houses to the beneficiaries in the last three years.”

Rai said that pension for aged and disabled are pending for the last three months and the government has failed to set the problems right. The government is busy in getting publicity for the Central government sponsored programmes through advertisements.

Mangaluru, Nov 30: A 22-year-old college student succumbed to her injuries at a private hospital in Mangaluru today, days after she was hit by a goods tempo while crossing a road in Padubidri.

The deceased has been identified as Preksha, a resident of Nadsalu Billitota in Padubidri. The fatal incident occurred as Preksha, who was returning home after completing her examination, attempted to cross the service road towards Mangaluru. She was struck by a goods tempo approaching from the Udupi side, causing her to fall and sustain a severe head injury.

Prompt action from local residents ensured she received immediate first aid before being rushed to a hospital in Mangaluru for specialised treatment. Despite medical efforts, she passed away while undergoing care.

Preksha was a student at Karavali College, Vamanjoor on the outskirts of Mangaluru city. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that she belonged to a financially vulnerable family, having previously lost her father. She is survived by her mother and brother.

A case related to the accident has been registered at the Padubidri police station, and an investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision. The incident highlights the growing concerns over road safety, particularly on busy service roads, and serves as a tragic reminder of the human cost of traffic accidents.
