President of KWAA Ronald Sequeira, Secretary Florine Roche and members Roshan Madtha, Wilson Kateel and Henry Mendonca submitted a memorandum to Mangalore south MLA J R Lobo in this regard.

The members said that 2017 marks the 75th birth anniversary of this Konkani legend who strived relentlessly to give recognition to Konkani music, language and literature at global level. Wilfly Rebimbus was born in Valencia and spent his lifetime working for Konkani in Valencia and therefore naming the road from Valencia circle to Koti Chennayya Circle after him would be a befitting tribute and honour to this living legend.

The members stated that Late Wifly who is rightly honoured with the title “Konkan Kogul” lives in the hearts of Konkani people through his songs and he should be honoured befitting his contribution for promoting Konkani.

In a press release the association pointed out that copy of the memorandum was also submitted to Chief Whip of Karnataka Legislative Council Mr. Ivan D Souza with a request to take up the matter with Urban Development Ministry and other concerned departments as the resolution to the effect was already passed in the council meeting of Mangalore City Corporation.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: The Karnataka state government has reportedly initiated the process to ban organizations like Popular Front of India (PFI).

State Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday evening said that instructions have been given to the police and officers concerned to gather information about the activities of such organisations so that necessary inputs can be sent to the Center.

He made it clear that the action would not be limited against PFI and SDFI (Social Democratic Front of India), rather any organisation which is involved in such activities, would meet the same fate.
