Responding to the queries of media persons here on Friday, M Pattabhirama, RSS Dakshin Prantha Sahakaryavah, said that the DC himself is responsible for the row and he himself should solve it.

The annual car festival of Puttur Shree Mahalingeshwara Temple is to be held from April 10 to 19. Saffron outfits in Puttur have strongly opposed to the Muslim DC's name on the invitation card of the festival. Vishwa Hindu Parishat, Bajrang Dal and even local BJP leaders wanted the authorities to reprint the invitation without Mr Ibrahim's name.

Mr Pattabhirama said the Sangha Parivar has a right to respond if there is an obstruction to programmes related to Hindu culture. The row will get a suitable solution if the deputy commissioner follows the guidelines of the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act.

“A delegation of the RSS will meet Mr Ibrahim to discuss the alternative solution to the row over his name in the invitation,” he added.

AB Ibrahim should not give importance for silly programs. He should focus for the development programs for mangaloreans.

Ibrahim himself should remove his name from there....

Cheddis know how to create troubles but they dont know how to SOLVE the problems.... Bachelors club alwz like hate speech, homosexuality, Killing real history, media deception with doctored videos.. and so on ... Clearly EVIL is their agenda.

As border closure hits medicine supply, three activists in Mangaluru turn Good Samaritans for Kerala patients

coastaldigest.com news network

April 13,2020

Mangaluru: The Karnataka-Kerala border closure at Talapady amidst nationwide Covid-19 lockdown has not only prevented the movement of vehicles and people from Kasaragod to Mangaluru but also stopped the supply of life-saving drugs from Karnataka’s medical hub to its bordering district.

Hundreds of people from Kasaragod and Kannur districts who were treated in hospitals of Mangaluru for past several years are still dependent on some of the medicines that are available only in Mangaluru. Such medicines have become inaccessible for Keralites following the border closure. Every day, a number of people from Kerala call their acquaintances in Mangaluru to see if there is a way to get medicine.

In fact, Karnataka government has blocked all 23 roads that connect the state with Kerala. The reason given was, Kasaragod is the hotbed of coronavirus and allowing traffic even in emergency cases might lead to spread of Covid-19 in border districts of Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu and Mysuru. The attitude has resulted in the death of around a dozen people in Kasaragod district in last couple of weeks.

Even after the intervention of the Supreme Court a few days ago, the authorities in Karnataka are facing the allegation of being hostile either by blocking the way ahead or turning a deaf ear to the patients reaching their border.

At this juncture, three Good Samaritans – P K G Anoop Kumar of Canara Engineering College, Mangaluru, Satheesh Shetty of Kasaragod Patla and P Jayaprakash of Ponnangala – have come to the aid of the Malayalee patients who are dependent on medicines from Mangaluru.

The three activists who are currently staying (in fact stranded amidst lockdown) in Mangaluru, are delivering life-saving medicines to patients in Kerala through Kerala fire servicemen and policemen posted at the Talapady border.

Anoop Kumar says that took the initiative after a woman, Maria Augustine from Chemberi (Taliparamba) Nellikkutty, contacted him for a medicine. He managed to buy it from a medical store in the port city and handed it over to a Kerala fire serviceman at Talapady border.

All three are activists of Communist Party of India (Marxist). After moving to Mangaluru, they set up ‘We Donate Charitable Society’ to donate blood. The activists say that they are ready to dispatch medicines from Mangaluru to any person in Kerala. Those Keralites who are in need of medicines from may contact: 888471344 - Anoop, 9895135881 - Jayaprakash
