Moodubelle, 01 June 2011: In anticipation of the monsoon, heavy rains and lightening and thunder in the night of May 31 and June1 2011 caused considerable damage to a house at Kappandakariya and inundated the patch of road in front of the church causing great inconvenience to the people. The rains accompanied with lightening and thunder continued from about 10 pm on May 31 to 4 am on June 1, 2011. Electric supply was cut off which resumed only at 9 am on Wednesday, June 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lightening struck the house of  Samraya Acharya of  Kappandakariya. Harischatndra Acharya and his wife, Lakshmi Acharya and children Nitin and Chetan who were sleeping inside the house were woken up with the deafening sound of the thunder which caused cracks on their walls and debris began to fall over them. However, fortunately, no major injury was caused to the inmates. The electric meter box was severely damaged and the wires got burnt. The impact of the lightening was so much that the electric pole got damaged at three places.

 

The problem of the patch of road in front of the Church which is junction for four roads has been an eye sore for over 3 to 4 years. Bellevision had highlighted the condition of this patch of road many times. However, no lasting solution has been found so far by the local authorities. Just after one nights heavy rain, the slush has gathered in such a way that people and vehicles find it extremely difficult to negotiate this patch of road.  As the schools have already started, students find it quite difficult to walk through this road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems that the blockage of drains by the side of the roads have led the rain water to overflow on the road which has resulted in the deposit of lose mud causing slush. Anticipating the monsoon, the local authorities should have cleared the drainage so as to make provision for the rain water to flow within the drains. However, in spite of earlier experience, it seems that no lessons are being learnt and the problem on this patch of road remains unsolved. Having seen what one night’s rain could do, the local authorities at least take appropriate action and spare the people from wading through the slush.

Elected people in local Panchayat are still busy in taking Garlands and Flower bouquets from their supporters. Who will be there to think about this pathetic situation that every year and that too right in front off Mooodubelle Church premises entrance and junction of Moodubelle. Shame on you people elected as local Panchayat administrative members. Again don't be surprised if the Moodubelle Santhekatte Construction area become a swimming pool in few days time during heavy rainy season. It shows that still local Panchayat have no clue or no proper plans on future projects.
Hilda, Moodubelle Thu, June-2-2011, 6:50
The shop owners from the vicinity, please fill each bucket per shop and pour it in front of the local Panchayat entrance !!

Belle panchayath is corrupt panchayath..All leaders are selfish...guys come out and protest against the corrupt system.
Porbul,, bolle Thu, June-2-2011, 3:45
If they cannot understand the basic problems of our town,then what is the use of them.They could have done this job much earlier because this is not a new problem.Every year the same problem. and remeber Elected people are publics servants.Enough belle people, you have given them more fruits and shawls. Now give them some "KOTRE and Pikkas" to clear the road.Then they will remember their duties.Jai hind, Jai belle.
sequeira, pamboor Thu, June-2-2011, 2:40
Mr Stany Lobo i cant understand that when everyone is opposing why you are protecting them ! poltiticias are human being but at the same time they are public servent , it is their duty to give all the basic things to public if they fail to do this let them give up and give way to someone else and dont compare them with animals they have better than these leaders ,
Joba Alva, Moodubelle/Dubai Thu, June-2-2011, 2:22
This is not the time to blame each other. Need to be come forward some respected people and take the responsibility and put the pressure on our leaders, where is our jerry porbu i not seen him any functions, may be he had enough of it.
Stany Lobo, Thirlapalke/Dubai Thu, June-2-2011, 1:55
Why blame only politicians? we have to be blamed ourselves. Have anybody writing comments in Bellevision have found time to protest in front of panchayat. Writing coments looking at the photos is very easy.Use some decent words while writing about leaders.They are not animals but human beings.They understand the problems and they wildeliver.This time Belleans have elected good leaders.We have to elect leaders without considering their party,caste,religion and looking only towards their track record.
Anil, Moodubelle Thu, June-2-2011, 1:27
The picture tell the story. How can a man walk on this road! Its pathetic! There are no drains at all at this place. We need to re-do these roads. Its a good news that after Bellevision reports on santhekatte , the re-structring work of the place has been started by the panchayat. Please give some time to our panchayat leaders. I am sure, they will come up with plans and most importantly execute those plans to avoid this situation next monsoon.
Alwyn, Bolle Thu, June-2-2011, 12:13
Moodubelle is cursed with bad leaders. They make money for themselves by becoming leader in panchayat. They improve the road till their home and their friends home and will put water pipes till their home and their friends home. whatever the money sanctioned by the Govt, they use only 5% of it and remaining they eat along with contractors and partners. If you just glance over the inside roads there are no street lights still. Eg: Belle to Arbi, Belle to Kattingeri, belle to pernankila, nalkubeedi etc... These so called leaders use poor people's property for water tank, road , vented dam and they won't give money to the property owner and while giving the details they give the name of those people and says that they have given money for them. For money they leave name, fame, shame everything and they beg for poll.

Arun, Moodubelle/UAE Wed, June-1-2011, 5:11
This sight has been common during monsoons in that particular area for the past several years. This being a low lying area without proper drainage system, why can't the shop keepers, who primarily clog the drains get together and clean up the drainage system before the monsoons so that water doesn't accumulate there causing inconvenience to everyone. Why is everyone blaming elected officials? They have just taken charge, let us wait and see how many campaign promises they will fulfill before seeking re-election. If these local institution heads extend invitations and honor them repeatedly why do we blame the elected officials just because they honor the invitations and show up? Instead of pointing fingers let us be proud of these officials and look forward to their contribution to society.

1. All homeowners with electricity connections, please install lightening arresters on your roof-tops and ensure that they are grounded correctly. Last year, cows died of lightening strike in Edmeru. Beware, you can die too! 2. The slushed junction is Rain God s fault. He didn t send down a flood, which if he did, would have washed away everything-slush, road and shops in its way..:D

The pictures says it all! This will give us an inside idea, how the government machinery works in our society. The concerned authorities should have been very well known the fact that before the monsoon starts the drainage system at Moodubelle (if at all there is a proper drainage on both sides of the main road) should have been cleared and avoided this catastrophe in the main junction. Is this an eye opener for all the so called Modubelle Panchayat officials? Am not sure! But the Moodubelle public is more mature now unlike earlier days to criticize especially using the powerful media to voice their opinions and complaints.
Nommu, Moodubelle/Dallas Wed, June-1-2011, 10:57
Very sad to see these dirty pics of Belle!! We should arrange a Kabaddi match for our leaders at this spot.. I am willing to sponsor the prize money.. Can anyone arrange match please??
Anner, Moodu Moodubelle Wed, June-1-2011, 10:37

Nice comments from all... i wish these comments make our leaders awake.
Girish Shetty, Belle Wed, June-1-2011, 9:30
It is good that today Belle is blessed with powerful media in the form of Bellevision otherwise these type of hard facts and truth will never come out. I am sure when this website is accessed by thousands of people all over the world, surely the leaders will act upon. Also let us not forget the responsibility of general public, we gave them the votes to solve our problems. When these leaders to do not act we all need to unite and start Morcha and protest in front of Belle Panchayat. Let us unite and then only these leaders will be taken to task.
Peter Martis, Moodubelle/Goa Wed, June-1-2011, 8:48

Dear Grama Panchayath members, please join hands with the public and start Shramadana, thus clean the open drains. This is not new, during the first rain of the reason this happens. Henceforth take proper precautionary measures and resolve the problem once for all.
Porbul,, bolle Wed, June-1-2011, 6:51

Krantiveer, Belle Wed, June-1-2011, 6:47
MOODUBELLE-hometown of our present Taluk Panchayat president,hometown of present Zilla Panchayat member,and as all we know Grama Panchayat president also from Moodubelle. Today Belle is famous for Kambla Track and Swimming pool. These leaaders will finish this work before 15 August. Bcoz Hannukai and Byrass are reserved for them from all 3 schools.CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. ( Hannukai Byrass = political words for fruits shawl)
Jayson, Moodubelle Wed, June-1-2011, 6:43

Joy lobo, moodubelle/mangalore Wed, June-1-2011, 6:13
Dear Akil, our leaders dont walk. they travel in 4 wheeler. so they dont know how pathetic condition of those who walk. so it is better to make them walk 4-5 rounds in front of church entrance. and make them to stand middle of that slush, and let they give political leaders speech, later will arrange a garland and fruits giving function. i hope this suggestion helps.
Suraj-Belle, Moodubelle Wed, June-1-2011, 6:04

Very Nice pics Mr. Anil. Really a good work. I would like to see the group photos of all our Belle leaders with these pics as background images. I think we should definitely arrange a Garland and Fruits giving function to all our leaders right at this spot. Any other suggestions???
Joy lobo, moodubelle/mangalore Wed, June-1-2011, 5:34
Mr. Hemphil, nice comment from you. Nobody take these kind of problems seriously. one party blame another party. 2-3 days people blame political leaders. Again next year same problem. It has become routine. when a leader do one good work, then people forget hundred faults done by a leader. this is main characteristic of Indians.
Joba Alva, Moodubelle/Dubai Wed, June-1-2011, 5:29
This is the friut of our honest leader starting the road wideing work may be this is never ever finish.But he earned lot.

The main problem is, there is no proper way for rain water to go. moodubelle is blessed with good leaders. please do something for this problem. every year this problem occurs. but leaders do not take in charge of this. We have panchayat, taluk and district leaders from our place. but still these kind of problem arises every year.
Jayson, Moodubelle Wed, June-1-2011, 2:25
Where is Jerry parbulu,Jessy bi,Ida Bi..Please do something ..This our belle.. Do some good work for People...It looks very bad...

Catch hold the engineers and contractor of this dirty road work and and give them muddy bath infront of public at this junction so that they will not repeat the mistake of negligence once again.
