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.

Dubai, Feb 19: A 25-year-old Indian engineer allegedly fell to his death from a residential apartment in Dubai, according to a media report.

Sabeel Rahman, from Kerala who has been living in Dubai since 2018, fell off the building near his work site, The Khaleej Times quoted a social worker as saying.

Naseer Vatanapally, the social worker, is assisting the family to repatriate his mortal remains back home to Thirur in Malappuram district, the report said.

"The case is a bit unusual. We''re not sure why he went to the building near his worksite," said Naseer Vatanapally.

"His family is unaware of any issues he may have faced. He had asked his brother to collect a new mobile phone he had purchased online - which they received. He had no reason to take his life," he added.

Rahman was the youngest of four siblings. The devastated family is awaiting details from the Rashidiya Police Station. "Following legal procedures, we will repatriate his body back home," he said.

Belagavi, Jan 17: Maharashtra Minister of State for Public Health, Medical Education, FDA and Textiles Rajendra Patil-Yadravkar who had come here to participate in the martyrs day programme of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) was detained by the police and escorted back till the state borders on Friday.

MES had organised its annual martyrs day programme at Hutatma Circle here. Its leaders had earlier been asked by the District Administration and City Police to ensure that none of the political leaders from Maharashtra participate and create law and order problems by their anti-state statements.

Patil had managed to sneak into the city through a route which was not manned by the police. He came in an auto-rickshaw to the programme venue.

Police personnel present for security took him into their custody and later escorted him till the state’s borders with Maharashtra at Kognoli on the Pune-Bengaluru national highway.

MES leaders alleged that the police personnel violated protocol while taking the incumbent minister into their custody and they also roughed him up.

All vehicles entering the city from different routes and particularly from Maharashtra were screened to confirm that political leaders from the neighbouring state do not participate in the martyrs day programme and create problems by their statements that also affect law and order along with linguistic harmony.

It was not known if Patil had landed in the city on Thursday and managed to reach the programme venue without getting noticed by using an auto-rickshaw.
