Harsha Moily: Progressive political leadership, communal harmony must for development of Dakshina Kannada

January 18, 2014

Mangalore, Jan 18: Stressing on the need for economic development in Dakshina Kannada, CEO of Milkroute, Bangalore Harsha Moily said that it was important to have progressive political leadership, dynamic leadership, an efficient social sector and communal harmony in the district.

He was speaking on the topic 'Mangalore – Vision 2025' at a programme organised by Mangalore Management Association (MMA) and National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM) at SDM Law College in the city on Friday.

“To impact the lives of roughly 2.2 million people, create prosperity in 354 villages, make productive use of 320 kms of coastline and 4.866 sq kms of undeveloped land and maintain the rich cultures and historic sites in Dakshina Kannada, we have to make the most of the resources available to make the district economically developed,” he said.

Six key pillars for economic development

He said that there were six strategic plans to act upon, for the realisation of the 'Vision 2025' for Mangalore city and the entire district, including achieving communal harmony, development of ports and fisheries sector, transformation of agriculture sectors, turning Mangalore into an IT hub, building physical and social infrastructure and implementation of government programmes.

It is critical to achieve communal harmony in the district, as high economic prosperity is possible only when there is a stable environment. It is also important to develop the ports and fisheries sector to enable creation of more jobs for youth. There should be focus on deployment of technology in agriculture and cultivation of crops such as paddy, arecanut, coconut and others with minimum water resources, he said.

“Mangalore has the potential to become an IT hub for which there should be increased pool of qualified manpower, power infrastructure and telecom services in the city. The district also needs to focus on increasing quality of primary and secondary schools, quality of healthcare and quality of roads. For effective implementation of governmental programmes, we need to strengthen gram panchayats and get rid of corruption at every level,” he said.

Vision statement

He said that his vision statement included the right to protection, participation in decision and policy-making and prosperity for every citizen in the district.

He also said that Mangalore had a lot of potential that was yet to be tapped, and the factor of utmost importance was the execution of the action plan.

Director of SDM PG Centre Dr Devaraj K made the presidential remarks.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.

New Delhi, Mar 3: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra, who instigated violence in northeast Delhi by provoking mobs, has now been provided with 24x7 security. After he claimed threat to his life, he has been provided with “Y” category security — which entitles him to six security personnel round-the-clock to guard him in and outside the city.

He had fought the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections by giving inflammatory remarks around the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act in Shaheen Bagh, and lost to Aam Aadmi Party candidate. But he continued to issue provocative remarks.

While there is clear evidence of his scandalous statements just a day before the violence was unleashed on Muslims in Delhi last week where around 50 people were killed, no action has been taken against him so far. Instead, he is being treated as a hero in his party.

As per sources, Mishra complained that he got life threats over the past week in wake of the violence and based on his request, the Delhi Police has provided the security cover.

Mishra had taken to social media platform Twitter and alleged that he was receiving threats via WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook, from Indian and foreign accounts.

“I am constantly being threatened with murder on the phone, on WhatsApp, on email. Hundreds of threats are being given continuously from the country and abroad. I don’t fear this hate campaign against me,” he had said on Twitter on March 1.

Mishra had on February 23 made an incendiary speech, following which North-East Delhi witnessed anti-Muslim violence.

The Supreme Court of India on Monday said it will on Wednesday (March 4) hear a plea that sought immediate FIRs against Kapil Mishra, Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur and other leaders for their recent hate speech, which allegedly triggered the violence in Delhi. The plea was filed by Delhi violence survivors.

The apex court bench, comprising Chief Justice SA Bobde, listed the matter for hearing after senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, who is appearing on behalf of the survivors told the SC that the Delhi High Court had last week adjourned the matter for six weeks even as “people are dying every day”.

Mangaluru, Feb 2: A video of a woman rescuing a dog from a well in Mangaluru has gone viral on social media. The dog fell inside the well accidentally and the woman rushed to the spot to rescue it. The two minute seven second video has been shared on Twitter by a user, Mauna, and has ever since been viewed over 15,000 times.

The woman climbed down the well as other people attached a rope to her body during the rescue mission. Another rope was then thrown to her and she tied it around the dog after which it was pulled outside. The woman, thereafter, climbed outside the well with much difficulty.

"Bless the lady who saved the Dog," the user captioned the post.
