Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).
There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.
There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.
The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.
Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.
With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.
The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
Mangaluru, Sep 6: In a shocking incident, a teenage girl allegedly committed suicide inside a bathroom at a college hostel at Vidyagiri, Moodbidri on Sunday.

I don't know why alvas is doing like this.....in the sense all alvas student know that there is not one room in alvas which number starts from 13....and each alvas pu student know the story behind this.....but i can't understand whether it is true or false........because i'm student of alvas.
The reason of suicide is not due to warden harassment, of course to control the students wardens should be strict. Student has very bad habit of stealing the things of other friends and she caught several times. Warden might have warned her for her bad things. So took this step. She is very bad in her due record she was not paying the school fees, whenever she get money she spend the money for lavish life and in case of shortfall she steal money from other roommates also she is going other rooms and stealing the things from students. I know all these matters because she stolen from daughter's mobile also. Later when her cupboard checked all stolen things came out such as expensive mobiles, sandals, perfumes, cosmetics, jackets and Money. Please let me know anybody will tolerate this bad habit in any college.
