First time in our peace loving South Kanara history a appointed IAs office resign from the post> Earlier ONE more brave Police officer of Tamilnaad origin resigned and desided to discontinue his Govt Officer duty.
hs there any brave courage person to ask or question th govt. Why all these started in KARNATAKA who is behind and why these goons trying to tie our sincere on duty officer hand.
Deal all these are the clear sign be ready to keep safe our South Kanara peace full daily life. The communal group already started to funding their south Kanara wings and training in progress to spoil out communal harmony. They will start to attack a famous place or a famous person and later come up with patriot lable to protest and start to attack thier targets of particular community.
Please stand togther to thorw them out from our Tulunaadu South Kanara.
In Kerala their plan was totally spoiled and broken by a brave police officer and all culprits and their THUNDU leaders are behind bar.
