Kalthodu villagers conveyed their difficulties to the DC and said that children are finding it very difficult to cross the rivulet and streams of water. They said that no improvement is done in this villager since many years.
The DC assured to look into the issues soon and instructed the disaster management force to ensure safety.
Byndoor MLA Sukumar Shetty said, “Instructions are given to build minor bridge at the spot where the girl got washed away. Already there are five foot bridges across this rivulet. Now Rs 10 lac is sanctioned to build a foot bridge at Vantemane and I have instructed to start the work immediately.”
Roads of Kappady, Kampa, Manmane, Madhukodu, Mooruru, Gundvana, Chapparike, Beejamakki and Aragundi in Kalthodu village were completely damaged in January 2022.

Hence, the villagers had requested 15 foot bridges across the rivulet with Byndoor MLA.
