Mangaluru, May 7: Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP of Dakshina Kannada has held Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy responsible for the water crisis in Mangaluru.

He was speaking at a protest staged by BJP in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Monday alleging that Home Minister M.B. Patil is functioning in an autocratic manner and the State government is curbing the right to freedom of expression.

Mr Kateel said that though Mangaluru is facing a severe water crisis, the Chief Minister has not paid a visit to the city and tried to address the issue by holding a meeting. The CM is fearing losing his chair, he added.

He said that the coalition government in the State will collapse after the announcement of the results of the Lok Sabha elections on May 23.

Addressing the protesters D Vedavyasa Kamath, MLA, Mangaluru City South, said that the State government is indulging in hate politics. The coalition government is arresting those who spoke against it, he said.

“When a former MLA made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no action was taken, though a complaint was filed,” he said.

Questioning the contribution of the coalition government in the State in the past one year, the MLA said that Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy made controversial statements against the people of the coastal region. “But he prefers the coast for relaxing and refreshing,” he added.

Dammam, May 29: A woman hailing from Mangaluru, who was waiting for repatriation amidst coronavirus lockdown in Saudi Arabia, passed away yesterday after a brief illness.

The deceased has been identified as Lateefa (55), wife of Abdul Azeez, a resident of Angaragundi near Baikampady on the outskirts of the city.

She had flown to Saudi Arabia in November 2019 along with her husband to spend some time with their NRI son in Dammam. They were supposed to return in April this year.

After the sudden cancellation of regular flights due to lockdown, they were waiting for the repatriation flights from Dammam to Mangaluru or Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Lateefa’s health condition worsened and she was hospitalised. She passed away on Thursday without responding to any treatment. Last rites are expected to take place in Dammam.
