Kasaragod September 7: Ignoring the repeated negligence by the authorities, self motivated Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh took an initiative to repair the road in Kasaragod City, which received a mass public applause.
National Highway-66 (Formerly it was NH-17), which witnesses an all-time busy traffic, most on medical emergencies was deeply damaged due to poor road engineering works and heavy rain. The state and district administration was silent on these basic facilities. Activists of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh of Kasaragod unit decided to clean and repair the public road.
BMS volunteers, who are professional laborers , were inspired by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideology of Selfless Service to the Society. BMS workers repaired the road in front of Uma Nurnsing Home near Talipadpu Maidan at Kasaragod.
