Mangalore, July 20: Members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Thursday staged a protest against the Mangalore City Corporation for its apathy towards the maintenance of the road connecting the Central Market and Bunder.


A putrid smell has settled over these areas due to the delay in removing the garbage. “The MCC is spending lakhs of rupees on health, but doing little to clear garbage. This has left the people at risk of contracting diseases. The Lady Goschen Hospital is on the one end of the road while a commercial complex is on the other end,” said CPI (M) Mangalore City Secretary Sunil Kumar Bajal.


The activists stood at one such stinking place and raised slogans against the apathy of the MCC officers. The CITU's Dakshina Kannada General Secretary, Vasanta Achary, said the MCC had not given much attention on clearing garbage on the busy road. The corporation had been collecting Rs. 150 from every household but not ensuring regular removal of garbage. The CPI (M) would intensify its agitation demanding proper system of garbage disposal, he said.


There were exchange of words between the activists and the police, who wanted the former to stop their demonstration. The agitators refused to stop and demanded that Mangalore City Corporation Commissioner Harish Kumar should come to the spot.


The protesters relented after two officials from the MCC came to the venue and promised immediate action.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: Popular Front of India leader Mohammed Saqib came down heavily on Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha for justifying the Dec 19 firing which claimed two Muslim lives in the city.  

He was addressing a mammoth crowd of around two lakh people, mostly Muslims, who had gathered at Shah Garden at Adyar in Mangaluru today to register their protest against CAA, NRP, NRC, besides police atrocities on Muslims in Mangaluru.

Criticising the way the commissioner handled the situation on December 19, he said the people have all the right to agitate when their citizenship is endangered. 

“Two men lost their lives. Then Commissioner started releasing misleading videos (to justify the killing),” he said questioning the top cop: “Who are you? Are you a British?” 

“What kind of doctor you are? You are a doctor in creating false stories,” he said whiling taking on the top cop for claiming that protesters had tried to storm the Mangaluru North Police Station.
