Fly over to come up at Hampankatta Junction?

March 11, 2011

Mangalore, March 11: Possibilities of constructing a fly over at Hampankatta Junction were discussed at a meeting convened by Deputy Commissioner Subodh Yadav to review the development works of the Mangalore City Corporation.

However, no specific decision was taken in this regard at Thursday's meeting, said an official press release issued here.

Yadav directed the MCC officials to complete road concrete works at PVS Circle by March 15 by carrying out works at night too.

It was decided to convene a meeting of all officials concerned shortly to discuss different aspects on constructing a bus stand near Mahaveera Circle.

Yadav said officials should not give scope for parking LPG bullet tankers on Surathkal-MRPL Road.

He said drivers and cleaners of such tankers were using the roadsides as their homes and were disturbing others. He sought a report from the corporation to this effect.

DC also instructed the engineering wing to pay bills of contractors who had completed road concrete works, within 20 days of the completion of projects.

Udupi: The Malpe Police have arrested two men from Uttar Pradesh for allegedly sharing classified information related to Indian Navy vessels with individuals in Pakistan, posing a serious threat to national security.

According to a complaint filed by the CEO of Udupi Cochin Shipyard, Malpe—an institution under the Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways—the prime accused, Rohit (29), was working as an insulator through subcontractor M/S Shushma Marine Pvt Ltd. He had earlier served at Cochin Shipyard Limited in Kochi, Kerala, where naval ships are under construction.

Udupi SP Hariram Shankar said the accused had unlawfully shared, via WhatsApp, confidential identification numbers of Navy-related ships and other classified details while working in Kerala, allegedly for illegal gains.

After joining the Malpe shipyard unit, Rohit reportedly continued collecting sensitive information through a friend in Kochi and circulated it to unauthorised individuals, violating national security protocols and potentially endangering India’s sovereignty, unity, and integrity.

Based on the complaint, Malpe Police registered a case under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923.

A police team led by Karkala Subdivision Assistant Superintendent of Police Harsha Priyamvada—along with PSI Anil Kumar D, ASI Harish, and PC Ravi Jadhav—conducted the investigation and arrested the two accused, identified as Rohit (29) and Santri (37), both residents of Sultanpur district, Uttar Pradesh.

The duo was produced before the court, which remanded them in judicial custody till December 3. Further investigation is in progress.
