Bajrang Dal activist Dhanya Kumar banished from 3 taluks of DK

Mangaluru, Mar 10: A notorious Bajrang Dal activist, who has allegedly been involved in several cases of immoral rowdyism' including attack on couples from different communities, has been prohibited from entering Puttur, Sullia and Belthangady taluks in Dakshina Kannada.

The order to extern Dhanya Kumar (32), who is known for his anti-social activities in the region, was issued by Assistant Commissioner of Puttur Sub-Division K.V. Rajendra based on a requisition made by the Puttur Town Police.

Kumar was among the group of Bajrang Dal activists who trespassed into a theatre and forced the owner to stop screening of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale in Puttur in December last year.

Superintendent of Police Sharanappa SD said that Kumar, a native of Kadaba, had been accused of disturbing peace and tranquillity in the region. He was also involved in cases of rioting.

The police had filed an application before the Assistant Commissioner seeking externment of Kumar from Puttur Revenue Sub-Division under Section 63 of the Karnataka Police Act. They had also sought externment of Peter, a person involved in theft cases, who died on February 15 after he was assaulted by people when he was caught red-handed.

Mr. Rajendra allowed the application of the police and passed the order of his externment on March 2. Following the order, Kumar has been asked to voluntarily move out of the three taluks. He has reportedly filed an appeal questioning the externment order.

Cheddi leaders mind washed many BD, VHP and their sister organisation.
The people come to know the reality of their deception.
I think every town and village should stand with TRUTH and Kick the Trouble monger outside.

punish Bajaranga Dala Activites, Best is Hang like gulf country

Send him to Siachin with his bosses.

should be hanged ,that type of basterd.

please send him to kashmir border instead of sending other taluks.

I dont think this is the right decision to send him to other district... he will start his notorious activities in other districts & disturb peace & harmony... Our police department should think about this issue & send him to that area where he will not find water & food to eat... So that he will realize the value of life....
Best decision is to hang him, so that other notorious dogs will learn something before doing any harm to public...

Something coming up good action from New Commissioner of Police in DK. Police department must find out criminals and communalists irrespective of cast or creed, have to debarred entering the taluks where they are active.

The same action to be taken in Udupi District also by Police authorities.

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

• Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

• STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

• Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
