Udupi, Dec 26: The final decision on the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya would be taken by the sadhus and sants at the Dharma Sansad to be held on January 31 and February 1 in 2019 at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, according to a senior leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Speaking at a meeting here Keshav Hegde, Organising Secretary, South Central Zone of VHP, said that the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya was based on the devotion and religious belief of the Hindus.

This would also be an important issue in the 2019 parliamentary elections. The political parties which neglect this issue would face its consequences, Mr. Hegde said. Already, more than 500 Janagraha meetings seeking the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya had been held in different parts of the country.

The Janagraha meetings had sought Parliament to bring out a law in the matter, he said.

The sadhus and sants had decided not to rest till the issues of Mathura Krishna and Kasi Viswanath were resolved, he added.

It was only through self-respect and awareness that Hindu society could see Ram Rajya and the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Mr. Hegde said.

Sunil K.R., convener of Bajrang Dal, Suprabha Acharya, Narayan Maniyani, Pramod Mandarti, office-bearers of the district unit of the VHP, were among those present.

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

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.
