Puttur, Feb 11, 2019: The Puttur Block Congress staged a dharna near the Salmara Railway Crossing on February 11, Monday demanding construction of a railway overbridge in the area.
Addressing the protestors, former minister Ramanatha Rai said though a leader from Puttur was elected the MP and even became a Railway Minister it was indeed a tragedy that he could not provide a railway over bridge at Salmara.
Former MLA Shakuntala Shetty who also addressed the protestors said a railway overbridge in the area would be a reality within three months if the Congress wins the next elections.
Several party leaders and workers participated in the protest.
