BSY proposes to adopt Gangolli to develop it into a model village

September 9, 2014

Kundapur, Sep 9: MP and Former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has said that he will adopt Gangolli village in Baindur legislative assembly constituency to develop into a model village.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Monday, he said “I will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard. The PM in his address on Independence Day has called upon the Members of Parliament to adopt one village of their choice.”

Plans have been prepared to develop Gangolli at an estimated cost of Rs 29 crore. The Rs 166.5 crore project chalked out for the development of coastal region, including Shiroor, Madikal, Maravanthe and Gangolli of Baindur will be taken up on a priority basis in the coming days.

A review meeting will be held in Baindur in order to discuss the problems faced by the people in coastal region.

He questioned the existence of the State government in Karnataka. The problems of the people are unheard by the officials and ministers.

The state government has failed to send an estimate report to the centre on the loss incurred following drought and flood in the state.

The state government should come to the rescue of the farmers who have lost their crops due to natural calamities, he urged.

“The Chief Minister has decided to visit the flood-hit areas only after I announced through media about my visit to the flood-hit areas,” he said.

Former CM said that he will tour the flood and drought hit taluks in the state from Tuesday. “I will also tour across the state to strengthen the party at the grassroots level.”

“There have been fluctuations in the price of rubber due to the existing import policy. This has been brought to my notice by growers,” he said and added that he, along with the MP of the region, will urge the Prime Minister and the Union Finance Minister to change the import policy to suit the rubber growers in the domestic market.

He said that he will impress upon the officials on the pathetic condition of the national highways in the district and initiate measures to repair the roads.

December 4,2025

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
