Mangalore, April 12: It is every citizen's right to be provided with 135 litres of 'lifeline water'. Authorities must ensure that every citizen is given this minimum amount of water per day said Dr. M Annayya Kulal Ulthur, Honourary President, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, DK, Mangalore.

Speaking at a protest held outside the Deputy Commissioner's office in Mangalore, Mr. Kulal said that water as a natural resource must be nationalized and must not be handed over to foreign companies for privatization. “Today a situation has been created where people are left with no option but to fight amongst themselves for water. Taps have gone dry. Plans are being made to privatize water. Let us not bow down to German and Japanese companies” he said.

Stating that although Mangalore is being promoted as a tourism destination and educational hub, Mr. Kulal said that citizens in the city are struggling for basic necessities and facilities. “Concretisation of roads has taken place but there are no footpaths. Authorities at Ration card and Passport Kendra torture citizens with delayed service. People are losing their respect at 'Nemmadi Kendras'. We demand that Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda who hails from our district, to direct concerned authorities to address people's issues”, Mr. Kulal said.

Lamenting that there is an absence of a genuine opposition in the Mangalore City Corporation since the Mayor is from one party and another party is in majority, Mr. Kulal said that people's issues that are not being addressed. “We will go to all 60 wards and create awareness among people to fight for their basic facilities”, Mr. Kulal said.

A memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner Dr. N S Channappa Gowda on the occasion.
