The citizenry in the twin districts were affected as officials from key government establishments, participated in the strike and abstained from work.

The one-day strike was in response to the call given by the Karnataka State Government Employees' Association (KSGEA) demanding implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations.

All government offices in Mangaluru city and other parts of Dakshina Kannada district wore a deserted look on Thursday.

However, the staff at Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) resumed work after holding a token protest.

Around 400 MCC employees staged a demonstration for an hour and resumed work, said Gokuldas Nayak, MCC's Joint Commissioner. He said the employees were wearing black badges to express support to the government employees' strike.

Elsewhere, almost all government offices in the district and the city wore deserted look with employees abstaining from work.

Kumar, Additional Deputy Commissioner, said that workers on outsourced duties were on their job. Hence, counters like Bhoomi, Atalji Janasnehi Kendra etc., functioned normally and public were not affected, he said.

In Udupi too the employees registered their protest against the government. Attendance in government offices at the District Offices Complex was sparse. Only outsourced employees reported for work.

Members of district unit of Karnataka State Employees' Association staged a dharna outside the District Offices Complex. Subrahmanya Sherigar, association president, demanded pay parity in salaries of state government and union government employees.

Prakash Nayak, Dakshina Kannada district president of KSGEA said nearly two dozen States have implemented the Seventh Pay Commission but the Karnataka government has not taken a decision on bring pay scales on a par with Central government employees.

Mr. Nayak insisted that the government, while enhancing the salary, should ensure that there is no disparity in the salaries of Central and State government employees.

Mangaluru, June 28: In his apparent bid to win the hearts of the people of Tulu Nadu while leaving this coastal city, Dr P S Harsha, the outgoing Mangaluru city police commissioner, today took to social media and thanked the people. The language he chose for his prolonged Facebook post and one paragraph tweet was Tulu.

“Loveable people of Kudla! I have received the transfer order after serving as the Commissioner of Police of Mangaluru City for 11 months. (During this period) I worked with utmost honesty and pro-people approach with the complete cooperation of my department. I wholeheartedly thank all those who supported me,” tweeted Dr Harsha, who is now posted in Bengaluru as the Deputy Inspector General and Commissioner of Information and Public Relations.

In his Facebook post, Dr Harsha claimed that thanks to his initiative “My Beat My Pride”, the policing in the coastal city has strengthened. 

“My only intention was to put an end to rowdyism and illegal activities. I had given priority to curb the drug mafia. ‘My Beat My Pride’ became a successful initiative thanks to public support,” he said. 

The IPS officer went on to claim that with the with the co-operation of the senior officers, the police department managed to efficiently handle situations during anti-CAA and pro-CAA agitations in the city, detection of explosives at Mangaluru International Airport and also during the covid-19 pandemic. 

However, he did not mention about the death of two people in random police firing following a baton charge during anti-CAA protests in the city on December 19.
