DC A B Ibrahim was go to Neriya of Beltangady taluk from Mangalore but got stuck in traffic at BC Road due to ongoing drainage work in the area. Meanwhile, he spotted sand-laden lorries among the vehicles lined up in the gridlock and with the assistance of district superintendent of police Dr Sharanappa and other police officials, stopped the lorries and verified their documents.

The deputy commissioner asked tahsildar Malleswamy to seize all the lorries. He also asked the officials to verify the permits issued by the department of mines and geology and take further legal action.


Inspection of two-way traffic

The deputy commissioner also inspected the two-way traffic charted out by himself and the SP. He also got the divider near the entrance to BC Road from Mangalore and stones laid across the road removed.

Police circle inspector Belliappa and town police station inspector Nandakumar drew the attention of the deputy commissioner to the inconvenience and acute traffic congestion due to two-way traffic.

However, the deputy commissioner did not accept the argument and said that the two-way traffic be continued, sources said.

    DC Mr. A.B. Ibrahim is an officer and a gentleman.He is active and dynamic.He works very hard,But it looks like his orders are not taken seriously by his fellow workers.B.C.Road is complete mess. There is no traffic discipline.Vehicles are moving from all direction.Even though police dept is nearby,one police officer is assigned most of the time to clear traffic mess.Roads are in very bad shape.Under the bridge vehicles,Taxis,Two wheeler are parked.Evening time street food out lets are mushrooming under the bridge.Place is filthy and non hygienic.People eat, wash ,and spit.As the flyover begins or ends,There comes the dump yard ready to welcome you with foul smell.KSRTC & many vehicle passes through this horrific area with windows open, One can easily imagine the state of the people who travel through these area.Bangalore travelers are travelling via B.C.Road.If we don't take proper interest in cleanliness,traffic discipline,I am sure B.C.Road, will be projecting unhealthy image to others.

    Well done DC. Hope you do something about this one way at Bendore (upper/lower). There are 2 hospitals SCS and Colaco hospitals for emergencies, the one way will definitely cause disrupt for ambulance in case of casualties. Chances of Ambulance hitting other vehicles is high.

    Well done DC Mr. A.B. Ibrahim. I hope our other senior officials & Bureaucrats follow your example and act on issues required to be sorted out in our city / District. We want pro-action Officials and not pro-talking officials.
    Hats off to you sir for setting example.
    Other side of this issue, only when officials get down to live like a common man, travel like us on these bad roads, traffic congestion, will they realise plea that we the common people go through.
    Great job sir, keep doing good work for we need Officials like you.!!
    We only hope and pray that the Sand Mafia doesn't get you transferred for doing a good job but not so good for them though..!!

    If we have "active DC" like Ibrahim sir in every district then I think No need any type of politician.
    IAS officer very well studied and they knows the how to follow administration beside the politician.

    Good Job Sir,

    I would like to see all officers and authorities to work like this. I am sure you will get thousands of such instances if you drive on a road. I was thinking while driving today. Like, they can pick up a road for a day and notice all the required actions to be taken on that road. It can be street lamp, un necessary obstacles on the road, humps either not in a good condition or hump with out any paint or marking , path holes on the road... note everything and immediately make the contractors to work on that. How quick and good it will be. With in a short period so may roads will be perfect. But unfortunately it still looks like a dream. any ways, heard a lot about the DC. Let him be blessed with good health and we Mangaloreans be blessed to have him for longer period here so that we can get best usages of his stay here at Mangalore.

    But ultimate question remains open, what happened to the lorries and culprit who was smuggling the sand. I am sure it's not so difficult to find out who and all involved in this illegal activity. Trust it's investigated completely and action taken against all. Can anybody ?
