An 18-month-old child died after being thrown out of the two-wheeler when it hit a huge pothole in Manipal on Monday. The deceased, Chirag, was seated on his mother Pramoda’s lap while his father Umesh Poojary was riding the vehicle. The family was on their way to Hiriyadka from Manipal. Chirag fell from the bike when it hit a huge pothole and died on the spot. Chirag had suffered severe head injuries while his parents escaped with minor injuries.
The accident triggered protests from angry residents of the area who blamed the authorities for the sorry state of the road. Though the road is part of the national highway, it is too narrow and is dotted with numerous potholes.
Though the road was upgraded into a national highway a few years ago, the widening work is yet to begin. Many organisations staged protests, demanding that the road is repaired. But the authorities concerned have always come up with some excuses.
SHE IS IN SEVENTH CLOUD AS THEY WILL EMERGING
