Mr.Ibrahim Kodijal please ask SSF to know the meaning of Jihad then start awareness programme. They still don't know the meaning of Islam, now they are going to create awareness.

Mr.KKBhat, Followers of British, Killers of Gandhi, how can digest this news. coz they always think how to fool the poor people of India.Call your Sudhir chowdary or Arnab go swamy to make fake report on this issue.

Oh confused ...finally rally against soolibele & Butt, sharan, & other terrorists ..

good move SSF ...

or this is under the banner of Southindian Sulibele Fan ??

Better you start this campaign from RSS headquarter in Nagpur as terrorism began from their. Shame on you SSF leaders as you are sharing stage with RSS terrorist and now start Campaign in the name of terrorism.

Sad that now a days members of terror community themselves projecting as anti-Jihadists just to confuse nationalists. This is a drama.

Lucky Aseemananda and Prajna Singh in jail, otherwise they would have cheif guest for this programme.
Soolibele and Pejavar is Madrasa & Peace ammbasador for SSF respectively.

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
