After visiting dargah why didnt this darga commitee had a salah along with dewe gowda

He knows that there is no difference between Durga & Darga. Worshiping the dead is shirk (Major sin) which Allah will not forgive. It is just a Money making center & mafia center

Namma Farooq Sahibru DURGA mattu DARGA dallu prathyaksha.
Beshhhh kanri iddu rajakiya annudu ivarige Dhunya mukya Akirath secondary....Change yourself before its too late.

Durga or darga.... both are same which is shirk

Nice headline.

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.
