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.

Naren Anna,
When did you change your location from Thai Naadu to Singapore?
See below what perfect manuals have to say on the topic:-
In Hinduisum:-
Homosexuality is regarded as one of the possible expressions of human desire, Although some Hindu dharmic texts contain injunctions against homosexuality, a number of Hindu mythic stories have portrayed homosexual experience as natural and joyful, There are several Hindu temples which have carvings that depict both men and women engaging in homosexual sex
in Islam:-
In more than one place in Holy Quran, Allah recounts to us the story of Lut's people, and how he destroyed them for their wicked practice of homosexuality, there is consensus among Muslims and the followers of all other religions that sodomy is an enormity, It's even uglier that adultery,
Now, judge yourself, This madrasa teacher influenced by whom????
Naren Kotian, He must be inspired by your God men Swami Nithyananda, Ashram Bapu, Sant Rampal, Baba Ramdev, Swami Agnivesh, Chanraswami, Swami Raghaveshwara Bharati!!
