Mangalore, October 22: The Mangalore City Corporation in association with Suvarna Kanrnataka, Mangalore, on Monday launched a campaign on city cleanliness and destitute rehabilitation centre.

 

Inaugurating the publicity vehicle of the campaign, in front of Town Hall in the city, Mangalore Mayor Gulzar Banu urged the public to join hands with civic body to make the city clean and beautiful.

 

Speaking on the occasion, president of Suvarna Karnataka, Mangalore, N P Shenoy said that around 500 to 600 homeless destitute sleep under open sky in places like bus stands, railway stations, parks and on the streets in this coastal city.

 

This leads to rise in problems and hampering the beautification of the city. Hence it is necessary to spread awareness among the people on night shelters for the homeless. The campaign vehicle will go around the city at night and help the homeless in getting to the night shelter, he said.

 

He said that a lone temporary night shelter existed in the city, which would be soon made permanent, abiding the order passed by Supreme Court that the homeless should not sleep on the streets.

 

He said that cleanliness should be given more focus in the city. It is not just the work of the corporation or its council members. Only if each citizen of the city comes forward and does his bit, can the campaign be truly successful. Citizens' support and cooperation is necessary, he said.

 

Secretary of Suvarna Karnataka, Mangalore, N K Pai welcomed the gathering. Deputy Mayor Amithakala, corporator Sulekha and Chittaranjan Das were present on the occasion.

Mangaluru, May 31: The bus services by private operators in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts will begin from tomorrow (June 1) with 15 per cent hike in the fares, Canara Bus Owners Association president Rajavarma Ballal said on Sunday.

In a statement issued here, he said that the members of the Association have appealed for a 3-month tax break. ''We have received tax breaks for 2 months and have demanded for an additional month again,'' he added.

He said that the government has agreed to a 15 per cent hike in bus fares. All the passes issued already will be converted into cash cards and no discounts will be available till the end of the COVID-19 crisis.

An added attraction in private buses will be the option of paying travel fares through smart cards.

According to Dakshina Kannada Bus Operators Association president Dilraj Alva, 50 per cent of 325 private city buses will resume their services on Monday. It also meant that 50 per cent of buses will operate on the allotted routes.

The smart cards (or travel cards called Chalo Card) will not be introduced on all routes at a time. They will be introduced in a phased manner covering all routes from Monday.
