Mangaluru: Mayor Sudheer Shetty Kannur on Monday directed contractors to follow all safety measures while digging roads to facilitate laying of water pipelines and other utilities in Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) limits.
Close on the heels of a two-wheeler rider suffering injuries after falling into a pit on a concrete road dug by a contractor at Valencia in Falnir ward on Sunday night, the Mayor said the concrete road was dug to repair leakage in a 600mm wide gravity pipeline.
