Bengaluru, Dec 3: Leaders of VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) and other right-wing organisations threatened the BJP government on Sunday that if it did not bring an ordinance to build Ram Temple in Ayodhya, as aspired by 'every Hindu' after the courts had delayed the wish of the major community.

In a meeting organised by VHP in the city on Sunday, a number of religious heads participated besides office bearers of organisations including RSS.

Speaking at the event Udupi Pejavar Mutt seer Vishvesha Thirtha threatened to undertake a fast if the government did not help pave the way for building Ram temple in Ayodhya, by bringing an ordinance.

Addressing the 'Janagraha Sabha' rally at the National College Grounds organised by VHP to demand the union government to meet the long standing wish of construction of the temple, the Pejawar seer said time was running out for the governments before they fulfilled the popular sentiment.

"Let us launch a hunger strike if Prime Minister Narendra Modi do not heed to our wishes."

you comes only in the time of election. same like you did in past fooling innocent hindu brother by diverting to worship stone instead of real GOD.

your time is too near, you are the person from mangalore who also involved in baber masjid demolision.

you will never sucess, evils will root in hell forever.

In this scientific age still people believe proofless stories.

No proof at all in any form to support Ramayana story.

Though in the story of so said Ramayan, Ram's father king Dasharatha married 4wives,

where No so called religion permits to marry more than 1. This seems to be Dasharatha may be Muslim.

His children might be Muslims.

So naturally all followers of Ram should follow ISLAM.

Elusive bamboo shrimp resurfaces in Mangaluru estuary after 70 years

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.
