Mangaluru, Dec 25: A motorcyclist had an accidental fall into a pit dug for cable-laying, beside KSR Road in Mangaluru. Fortunately, the rider sustained only minor injuries in the incident.
Despite Mangaluru being a smart city with advanced road infrastructure, ongoing work involving digging up concrete roads for cable installation poses hazards. Mescom is actively engaged in cable laying across various locations, leading to exposed pits on several roads. This situation poses risks for vehicle drivers.
The incident occurred near the city center, emphasizing the need for increased safety measures. The rider, although injured, received prompt medical treatment. The densely populated roads with open pits present a significant concern, especially during night time travel. Local residents have appealed to authorities to address these issues promptly and implement appropriate safety measures.
