Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to life . Here fear of death by bad roads and the faith that blessed vehicles will protect us because God will be with the riders. May this faith increase and save the vehicle users from mishaps in the rural roads like B.C.Road to Padubelle Jundtion. B.C Road to Buntakal where a deep cut is very dangerous. Let this leadership of ICYM do some social service of organising a protest so the Zilla Panchayath will take steps to repair the Church road properly { from BC road to church and up to Padubelle junction and down to Pambur school. Local Public must be react so that the officials will have some fear and work properly. Good Luck and may God bless you along with the vehicles and also may roads repaired soon. |
