Kannada is our mother, Tulu is father: Pejawar seer tells people of DK, Udupi

Udupi, Sep 8: People of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of coastal Karnataka should treat Kannada as their mother and Tulu as their father, said Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt.

He was speaking after welcoming a chariot (ratha) spreading awareness on the Vishwa Tuluvere Aayano' (World Tulu Conference) to be held at Badiadka near Kasaragod from December 9 to 13. He later flagged off the chariot near Rajangana.

Stating that harmony among all languages goes a long way in protecting culture, the seer urged the people of twin districts to love and respect both Kannada and Tulu equally.

The seer said that everyone should be proud of their language. But people should shun a parochial approach on the issue. “It is essential that all languages coexist peacefully with one another,” he said.

The seer said that Kannada is the administrative language of Karnataka. But Tulu is considered the lingua franca of Tulunadu, comprising Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod districts.

A wide variety of languages are spoken in Tulunadu, including Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Beary, Konkani, Kundagannada, Aregannada, Havyaka Kannada and Kodava.

Udupi NRI duped of Rs 12.25 lakh in Telegram investment scam

News Network

December 4,2025

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.
