Coastal Talk News | Manipal
Local residents have placed a helmet near a collapsed section of the newly constructed footpath at Devinagar in Parkala near Manipal to alert pedestrians to the danger. The footpath was built following recent road widening work near the high school here. However, a slab has collapsed, leaving a pit that poses a risk to people walking along the stretch. Several senior citizens walk on this stretch in the early morning.
To warn pedestrians against accidentally stepping into the pit, residents placed a helmet near the damaged spot as a safety alert. The gesture also draws attention to the need for prompt repairs by the concerned department. The damaged section is located opposite a petrol pump in Devinagar, Parkala. Residents have urged the authorities to repair the footpath slab at the earliest and ensure pedestrian safety. Ganeshraj Saralebettu, activist from Parkala said that it is the responsibility of the authorities to ensure pit posing the risk to people is filled properly at the earliest. The authority concerned should act now, he said.
