UDUPI: KPCC Member Prakash Udyavar has alleged that the apathy of the elected
representatives was responsible for the damage caused to a concretised fisheries road
in Udyavar Padukere due to sea erosion. The road was laid under the Prime Minister’s
Sadak Yojana and the damage caused to it has greatly affected the people of the vicinity.
“When the place was suffering problem from sea erosion since ten days, none of the
elected representatives including officials visited the area to take stock of the situation
and initiate preventive measures. What else can be the reason for the damage caused to
the road but the lackadaisical approach of the elected representatives ? †he questioned.
Before embarking on new projects, the authorities must first ensure that the already
completed projects are maintained properly, he said and urged for steps to minimize the
losses caused due to sea erosion in the area.
