Mangaluru, Mar 21: Despite strict warnings against holding programmes and mass gatherings, in the backdrop of coronavirus outbreak, over 100 people gathered for the ground-breaking ceremony for the work on bridge-cum-saltwater exclusion dam across River Netravathi near Harekala village on Saturday, March 21.

MLA U T Khader, and former minister B Ramanath Rai were present for the foundation stone laying ceremony. This dam built under the aegis of Department of Minor Irrigation and Ground Water Development, is one of the biggest projects happening in Mangaluru.

The construction of bridge cum barrage across Netravati River will connect Harekala Kadav to Adyar. The project costs Rs 200 crore on turnkey basis,

The bridge will have a length of 520 metre with 1.25 metre of pathway on the both sides and 7.5 metre carriage way. The bridge consists of 52 gates and metal sheets will be installed in-between the gates.

The dam will solve the drinking water woes of the people of the region. Ironically, pamphlets spreading awareness on precautions to stop spread of coronavirus were also distributed in the programme.

    As on date nothing is more important than controlling corona virus. People should behave responsibly. This act is most irresponsible act as on today. Let us condemn those encouraging gatherings whether it is hundreds or thousands.

    They still have not grasped how critical the situation is and can go very worse like Italy ( hopefully not). Hope someone would educate those people how bad situation is already. Pls take this pandemic seriously.

    It seems okay. The project means a lot for the local people. The audience seems fairly dispersed and many wear protective face masks. Let us not crib and overdo our vigilance/ righteousness and pray for its timely, corruptionless, completion.

    That's nothing comparing to the wedding that our CM had along with an MP and MLAs attended the other day where the crowd reportedly was over 1000.

    As per Modi's advice about Janata Curfew for everyone to stay at home and don't spend money from govt coffers. Even his ministers are not raising any controversial topic for people to engage in public discussions. Fear of Corona is enough for the time being.

    Since there is no positive case reported from mangalore, i think small functions are fine!

    We are in stage 2.. not reached stage 3!

    Is that reason to go to a gathering thinking no case has been reported??
    Are you serious??
    If one person is infected and reaches a gathering of 100s in which even only 10 people get infected from that the cycle will still continue..
    You need to change your thinking. A organism/virus won't stop thinking "ohh its a small gathering so I won't infect here.." that's utter stupidity.

    It's this laid back attitude which may cost a heavy price. Many people in India too are already paying a heavy price with this attitude.
    What a sad situation.

    This is a very bad example for "chalta hai attitude". This attitude will take us to the doom.
    How difficult is it to understand when it is said "NO, don't organise functions". And if the public representatives and public servants do this, what do you expect the rest of the public to do.

    If any infected goes to such gathering , others persons get affected. Better to avoid public gatherings. Sec 144 of CPC has been violated.
