    People who say measures must be taken to build fences to avoid don't understand that people would find other ways to kill themselves.you don't have to be an intellectual to understand that. This is much more bigger than building god-damned fences. Understand depression. That would be a good start to avoid future issues. Condolences to her family. Now she's at peace.

    Simple solution is to build a 6 ft fencing on both sides of the bridge. When administration wastes crores of rupees on unwanted flyovers like the one in kuntikana and kottara chowki, Why can't it spend on life saving measures.

    dp mangalore ,one who wants to end life will do it without or with fence at Netravati.Better to have a anonymous telefon free adviser to call and take advice when one has problems and want to end life .Nowadys such suecides have increased .Specially women suffer at home under in laws,husband ,dowry conflict.Many men suffer financial ruin ,and see no way out.Fence is not really a help.some go to railway tracks.may her soul rest in peace.Life has become very stressig.

    There's already a place by that name in Maharashtra's scenic hill station at Mahabaleshwar (Panchgani). Rename it as a Suicide Lake instead.

    If it's a tourist spot, then more tourists will come for suicide. More problem for administration.. it's better to keep vigil day and night like India and Pakistan border.

    What happened to the promises made by our Mangalore MLA Vedsvyas Kamath? Protection on the bridges on the Netravati. May her soul rest in peace.
