Beltangady, Jan 16: The residents of Inchlampady village near Nellyadi have successfully constructed a bridge that shortens the distance between Dharmastala and Subramanya considerably.

This bridge, built across Gundya lake, saves a distance of 20 kilometres between Dharmastala to Subramanya, two popular pilgrimage centres of the district.

Normally the vehicles have to move from Dharmastala to Subramanya, via Gundya lake, and this bridge facilitates movement of vehicles and people through Periyashanti - Ichilampady via Nujibaltila to Mardala and then Subramanya.

As the construction of the bridge, taken up by the government is progressing at a snail's pace, the people here came together and put together efforts to build a temporary bridge by the side of the spot where a permanent bridge is to come up.

The strong bridge now built by the  public has also space for laying of pipes.
