Mangaluru, Aug 29: The police detained over a dozen activists of Popular Front of India who were attempting to picket the office of Mangaluru City Police Commissioner on Monday in protest against the arrest of an “innocent Muslim youth” in connection with the murder of a rowdy-sheeter.

The police also lathi-charged the PFI agitators after the latter refused to vacate the place and engaged in a heated argument with the cops. The police said that the protesters had no permission to stage protest.

A police officer said that around 100 PFI activists attempted to picket City Police Commissioner's office. Though they requested them to drop the protest, the adamant activists continued to protest. 13 persons were taken into custody after a mild lathicharge. A case has been registered.

The development comes a day after a group of Muslims led by PFI activists staged a dharna outside a mosque in Moodushedde Edurupadavu on Sunday demanding the police to release, Saifullah, a local resident, who was arrested on Saturday in connection with a 10 day old murder case.

The PFI activists also had planned to stage a protest outside Mangaluru Rural Police Station on the same day to exert pressure on the cops. However, the police thwarted their plan by tightening security around the station and controlling the vehicular movement.

Charan, an accused in several criminal cases was hacked to death in front of his wife and child on August 19 by a gang of four miscreants near Vamanjoor when the family was travelling in an auto-rickshaw. Soon after the incident M Chandra Sekhar, city police commissioner had formed three teams that detained some suspects. According to police Saifulla is one of the suspects in the case.

Dear Brother KK Rao . Dont use Counter part.....use patriotic organization ...

Its already accepted by Senior leaders \Ganesh Karnik\" of RSS in sting operation, that 60% of the poilce is RSS followers in OPERATION JULIET BY COBRAPOST.COM"

DEAR ABBU, TOTALLY POLICE DEPT. ARE CHADDIS....

I think this Abbu Beay has no sisters. He is taunting a policeman for wearing Raksha bandhan.

You can see saffron thread in one policeman's hand

See the photos. the number of police is more than the number of protesters. this happens only when Muslims stage protest. If VHP, BD, HIV, RSS people protest police will stay miles away.

So far only Bajrangees used to protest demanding the release of murder accused. Now their muslim counterparts also got inspired them and resorted to same method. Police should be ruthless towards such people.

These goons were motivated by their students wing CFI, whose jehadist demands were met by college in Valacchil. Dont release the 13 members. Arrest more and send them to jail for years.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
