Kasaragod, Apr 23: It was a great disillusionment to Madhu M, the first time voter as she couldn't find her name in the voter's list in the Kasaragod Lok Sabha constituency of Kerala which went to polls in the third phase of polling for the Lok Sabha elections on Tuesday.

“This is the fate of the Kannadigas here for years. Their names are often excluded from the electoral rolls due to political reasons… This time my entire family’s names are missing. I hate this,” said the girl, who works for a reputed television channel in Mumbai.

She had visited her hometown Mailankody with great excitement to exercise her franchise for the first time in life keeping all other works aside. She and her parents were among the early birds at the jurisdictional polling booth.

After struggling to find their names in the voter’s list for half an hour, they realized that their voting rights have been snatched away. “Are we not citizens of India?” they fumed as they returned home in frustration.

Kasaragod-Karnataka border people are always neglected by both the states.

Oh I know her. Should have confirmed online before coming from far place.

How it happens again and again. I am not a Kannadiga but my name also missing. Stringent action should be taken against officials concerned to avert recurrence.

There are many people facing the same issue. This is not for the first time. Aadhar should be linked to voter’s list to solve this issue.

Mangaluru, June 10: The first direct repatriation flight from Damma to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission will be operated on June 21.

Thousands of people from coastal districts of Karnataka are stranded without flights in different parts of Saudi Arabia after the announcement of covid lockdown in March this year.

Even though the government of India launched Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian expatriate through special flights, no flight was scheduled from Saudi Arabia to Mangaluru.

Several organisations had exerted pressure on the government of India and government of Karnataka to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia.

With the sole intention of helping the stranded Kannadigas, a few philanthropists in Saudi Arabia last month formed an NGO called Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum under the leadership of Zakariya Bajpe and Sheikh Expertise.
