Catholic Sabha and Residents Call for Bridge Construction in Pavoor Uliya, Praise Ban on Sand Mining

Mangaluru, Oct 19: The Catholic Sabha has urgently appealed to Speaker U T Khader for the construction of a much-needed bridge in Pavoor Uliya. The organization also praised the Speaker for successfully banning illegal sand mining in the region.

Pavoor Uliya, located on an island in the Netravathi River, is home to 58 families and a Christian church. Residents rely on a government-provided boat to access markets and transport pregnant women and patients to hospitals, facing significant challenges, particularly at night.

In their appeal, the Catholic Sabha emphasized the pressing needs of the island’s underprivileged residents and urged the Speaker to prioritize the bridge’s construction. In response, Speaker Khader assured the community that he would address their concerns and expedite the process.

The delegation included Alvin D’Souza, president of the Catholic Sabha Mangaluru Pradesh; former president Paul Rolphy D’Costa; vice-president Steven Rodrigues; and other prominent leaders.
