Don't unleash violence; Police can handle you: Home Minister to anti-Tipu groups

November 7, 2016

Mangaluru, Nov 7: Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Monday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party and other organisations not to protest against the State government-sponsored Tipu Jayanti on Thursday.

Talking to reporters, Dr. Parameshwara said the State government was firm on organising the programme across the State. Since the programme was being held indoor, there was no scope for any trouble. The government will act tough against those who try to disrupt the programme or attempt to create unrest.

The Chief Minister has given clear instruction to the police top brass to ensure peace during the programme.

On the threat by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists that the State will burn, if the government went ahead with Tipu Jayanti, Dr. Parameshwara said that the police were capable of handling the situation.

Dr. Parameshwara said that the BJP was trying to create confusion among the people by opposing Tipu Jayanti.

He asked the BJP to take part in the programme for upholding peace and amity in society.

While stating that the government was not forcing people to celebrate the day, Dr. Parameshwara said that the government was not politicising the issue and organising the event to score political brownie points over the Opposition.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
