AT LONG LAST: The bridge at Kamila – Mogra in Dakshina Kannada only needs flooring to be completed
MANGALURU: With petitions and a documentary addressed to the Prime Minister yielding no result in more than seven decades, hundreds of Kamila-Mogra villagers pooled in money and built a 50-foot-long bridge across a rivulet on their own.
The bridge on the Mogra in the district’s Sullia taluk cost them nearly Rs 1 lakh. It is wide enough to let pedestrians or bikers at a time to reach the other side, but villagers are not complaining because it has successfully solved their monsoon commuting worries for now.
