Mangalore, October 30: The issues of alleged pollution from a fishmeal company at Malpe and lack of underground drainage system in some parts of the city dominated the general body meeting of the Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) here on Saturday. Raising the issue, councillor Mohan Upadhya of the Bharatiya Janata Party said that there were many complaints from the people about pollution being caused by a fishmeal company in Malpe.

Raghupati Bhat, MLA, said that many road accidents had taken place owing to spillage of sticky water from the trucks carrying fish to the fishmeal company in Malpe. The CMC should stop the movement of trucks carrying fish from other States to Malpe, he said.

The district administration should be urged to instruct all six fishmeal companies in the district, including the one in Malpe, not to use fish from other States. The fishmeal companies could use fish available locally. This would help local fishermen, Mr. Bhat said. Leader of the Opposition in the CMC Council Jayananda of the Congress said the fishmeal company at Malpe had been functioning for the past 40 years. The CMC itself had given a “no objection certificate” to the company in 2007. It was not right to discuss the issue in the council meeting as the matter was in the High Court, he said.

Vatican rejects second appeal of Kerala nun against her expulsion from congregation

News Network

March 2,2020

Kochi, Mar 2: The Vatican has rejected the second appeal by Sister Lucy Kalappura -- one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal -- against her expulsion from Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC).

In her plea, she had demanded that her version be heard and her expulsion from FCC revoked.

She was expelled from FCC for participating in public protests demanding the arrest of Franco Mulakkal in the nun rape case.

''I got a letter from Vatican which says my appeal has been rejected. But the rest of the letter is written in the Latin language. So after I understand it, I will respond," Sister Lucy told news agency.

''The authorities are contemptuous of those who make such complaints. That is why the letter is written in Latin. Sister Lucy would continue her legal fight in the courts,'' said George Moolechalil, who has been authorised by Sister Lucy to communicate with the media on her behalf.

A petition of Sister Lucy is still pending at Mananthavady Munsif Court at Wayanad that demands that she should not be expelled from the convent where she is staying.

Religious issues should be resolved within the guidelines of devine laws.

Unfortunately the Chrisitianity is no more in its originality.

The holy bible has been systematically abused and edited to the benefits of rulers.

The book has been contaminated with lots of editions.

People should search for truth and follow it.

Example, the religion never told to remain unmarried for priests or nuns.

They go against its teaching inveting their own idea against God's teaching.

Vatican is a corporate person.
