Mangaluru, Sep 18: Former police officer Anupama Shenoy, who had repeatedly rejected the requests of chief minister Siddaramaiah to withdraw resignation and continue serve in the police department, has now expressed her design to rejoin the department.

Ms Shenoy, who had resigned as DySP of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district after a public spat with former minister P T Parameshwar Naik, was a chief guest in 'Hyderabad: Swathanthrya - Sangharsha', organized by Yuva Brigade (erstwhile NaMo Brigade) on Saturday in the city.

Ms Shenoy did not completely deny the rumours of her perceived entry into politics. Ms Shenoy said, "I have least interest in politics and moreover there are two more years to go for next election. I will take a decision then."

Ms Shenoy, who had changed her statements frequently after resignation, said that her anger was not against any politicians, but was against political decisions that transferred her even when election code of conduct was in force in January.

"It is true that I have submitted two resignations. I am now thinking of taking legal recourse in this connection. In the meantime, I have sent a request letter informing my willingness to withdraw the resignation to the chief minister on August 29. My resignation was accepted within five days and this is considered a major development. Now I have sought withdrawal of resignation citing technical reasons. Let us see the level of their concern towards me," she said adding that she has received an acknowledgement for her letter from the government.

"I have received a positive reply with a note that my request will be reviewed. Subsequently, CM Siddaramaiah called me too. He asked me why am I putting in papers one day and seeking withdrawal of the same, the next. I told him that I was not happy with my decision. In my village and wherever I go, people kept on saying that I should not have resigned. I explained this to the CM too, who said he too finds himself in a similar state of stepping down. CM said he too is forced to forget the socialist ideology and the anti-corrupt principles that he believed in. He also told me that it is not possible to do good things being a part of the government," she said.

Further, quoting the CM, she said, the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade that K S Eshwarappa launched should have been an apolitical organization to fight corruption. "The CM has assured me that he would consider my request for withdrawal of resignation," she added.

What happened Madam your visit to RSS leader Kalladka Prabhaker Bhat?????
We need an honest and secular brave police officer . Not like you Madam. You have resigned because you cannot face the challenge.
Also you are totally with RSS and we don't need much Nathram Ghldse's families in Police department.
I request Chief Minister to prevent this lady from entering Police department.
Her ego is now over and she failed to get any good response from BJP; due to Shobakka. Now she wants her job back.
As you mentioned wait for 2 more years for election and try you luck.

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.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

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.
