People want road developed

Correspondent

KARWAR: People of Devbag, near here, staged a demonstration on Tuesday to protest against the move of the zilla panchayat to inaugurate a newly built bridge across the Mavinahole stream without developing the road connecting the bridge on either side. The bridge connects over 800 fishermen families living in Devbag with the rest of the world. Sainath Metri, taluk panchayat member; Pandurang, Yeshwant Datekar, Mahadev Kumtekar and Narayan Govekar, leaders of fishermen who led the agitation, told presspersons that the officials would forget the development of road after the inauguration of the bridge. They pointed out that the work had been shoddy. It might pose problems for the movement of vehicles and pedestrians.

They also demanded that sea walls should be built to prevent sea erosion.
