According to the Moodbidri unit of CFI, Reshma, a computer teacher at St Anthony English Medium School, near here on February 16, asked non-Christian students of Class 7 to worship Jesus Christ and not to worship any other god'.

In a memorandum submitted to block education officer the CFI claimed that Reshma used to promote Christianity and insult other faiths when she was teaching in St Thomas Higher Primary School before joining the St Anthony school.

The CFI also accused the school of supporting her and trying to create divide among students on religious lines. “In the past the school management had refused permission for students to attend Friday prayers. Besides there was symbol of Christianity on the uniform belt given to the students previously,” it claimed.

After all religion is to discipline mankind. But we are doing more evil in the name of religion and god than in name of devil. Moral of all the religion is Do Good you will end up in Heaven and Bad you will end up in Hell. For your info 1000 years back there was no Constitution in any part of the world, it was religion that was disciplining the Mankind. Now we have Constitution but we are not disciplined because of religion.

Most of the religious people think their faith is correct and others should also follow their faith.
But one thing is true, they don't expect any personnel benefit for their propagation.
When doing it in a secret manner, it hurts others.

First of all if they are sure 100%, that their religion is the only true religion, then they should call for public debate with their proof to convince people of other faith. Then definitely if people are convinced, at least some intellectuals will respond and accept their claim.
This is what happening by Dr. Zakeer Naik,
If you want to know the truth, just watch his PEACE TV channel which is free channel. He is openly and successfully convincing to the intellectual highly knowledgeable people. Whoever accepts Islam, Dr. Naik questions the accepting men whether the person is fully convinced the ISLAM also he further questions them whether come across any kind of pressure or bribery. He also says them ISLAM cannot bribe or forcefully convert anybody. That is to convince anyone 2+2=4, we don't want to bribe them.

This is the proof, despite of all hurdles and resistance the Islam is the fastest growing religion in the whole world, specially in WEST.

May God bless us to know right path and benefit from it and to share the same with everyone.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.
