March 12, 2011

Mangalore, March 12: The Tuminadu Mogera Mahakali temple in Manjeswaram near here was burgled on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

The burglars got away with six silver idols, jewelleries on the deities including ceremonial swords.

The incident came to light when a devotee came to the temple in the morning for worship. He found that the doors were remaining open. Police who came to the temple on being informed about the incident confirmed the theft of the silver idols. The police also recovered the iron rods used in opening the sanctum sanctorum.

Two gold ornaments on the deity were stolen at the sanctum sanctorum. Swords, knives, bow and arrow made in bronze were also stolen.

Three silver idols of the Mokera deity were stolen along with an idol of Thannimanika idol and two Mahakali idols. The idol of Mahakali was found abandoned on the temple courtyard.

The Mookambika Doomavathy temple in Mogral Puthur was burgled few days ago and the thieves were yet to be arrested by the police.

Need tough punishment.

Instead of helping with lesser price, troubling the people. These are cruels.

Mangaluru, May 19: In a bizarre incident which exposes the publicity craze of “philanthropists”, members of a city-based organisation returned without disturbing grocery kits after villagers refused to be photographed while receiving them.

The incident took place at Mukrampady village in Puttur a few days ago. According to sources, a team belonging to an organisation from Mangaluru had visited the village with a letter from their organisation, to distribute grocery kits to families near mosques in the month of Ramadan.

The team members reportedly insisted the beneficiaries to pose for pictures with the team near a mosque while being given the food kit. The villagers refused to fulfil their wish.

The organisation members then left the place without handing over the Ramadan kits, sources said.
