Mangaluru, Nov 20: Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell has urged the police not to treat the activists of saffron groups and PFI equally as according to him Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are patriotic and nationalist organisations.

Speaking at a preparatory convention for upcoming Udupi Dharma Samsad at the Ramakrishna College ground in Mangaluru on Sunday evening, he said: “We have been raising voice against injustice. However, the police are considering Bajrang Dal and PFI as same. They are levelling murder charges against us and are booking our activists under Goonda Act to suppress us."

"The blood of Shivaji is flowing in our body and not that of Tipu. Those who have the blood of Tipu in them are engaged in pelting stones at the police commissioner's office," he said.

VHP Prantha working president M B Puranik called upon the Bajrang Dal activists to make Dharma Samsad at Udupi a grand success.

Cops thwart bike rally

Prior to this, the city police prevented the members of Bajrang Dal from carrying out a motorbike rally till the convention venue. Enraged over the incident, the Bajrang Dal activists held a meeting sitting on the two-wheelers.

The police also asked the organisers to complete the convention by 5 p.m. The activists were ready to take out the rally from Kadri Kambala Road, Ambedkar Circle and PVS Circle in the city, but were prevented by the police.

Later, the activists reached the venue separately as per the conditions laid down by the police.

The activists listened to the main speech by sitting on the motorbikes for one and a half hours. Even after the convention, they were not allowed to carry out a procession. The police sent them out of the venue, in a group of 10 persons each after the programme.

All these are jobless, irresponsible goondas.

No civic responsibilities. Eliminating them from entering into public gathering is the sole solution.

Blind Followers are the root cause of this problem.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
