Portion of road caves in
The Hindu
Residents say it is common during monsoon
A portion of the R.K. Mutt Road at Mylapore caved in on Saturday because of weakening of sewer line.
Residents of Mylapore and Mandaveli said this was the second case of the road cave-in in the area where vehicular traffic was hit.
C.R. Balaji of Mandaveli said this part of the road collapsed regularly every monsoon because of old sewer pipeline that carried sewage in Mylapore and Mandaveli. “It often affects traffic. Only temporary solution is found every time the road collapses. We need a permanent solution to replace the entire pipeline with larger capacity.”
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
