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.

Netizens target BJP after video of Sangh Parivar ‘man’ in burqa goes viral

June 16,2020

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts.

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.
