Mangaluru, Bengaluru, Mysuru to get German model of policing

July 2, 2016

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Home Minister G Parameshwara has said that prominent cities in Karnataka will get a German model of policing and traffic management.

Speaking to media persons here on Friday the minister said: “The German state of Bavaria uses latest technology for effective management of traffic. The same model will be adopted in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru and other major cities where traffic management has become a challenge,”

Parameshwara and a team of senior police officers from Karnataka recently toured Germany to study the policing system in Bavaria whose capital is Munich. The minister signed a memorandum of understanding with Bavarian officials for mutual co-operation in traffic management and policing.

Parameshwara said Munich was one of the safest cities in the world. A detailed study of the Bavarian system of policing was conducted during the visit. In Bavaria, top priority is given to the safety of women, children and senior citizens. They have successfully implemented a people-friendly policing system. Over 82% of the population in Bavaria is happy with the system. The same model will be implemented in Bengaluru, he said.

As per the MoU, police personnel from Bengaluru will be sent to Bavaria for training. Bavarian officials will also visit Bengaluru for this purpose. Awareness will be raised among schoolchildren on traffic and law and order with the help of Bavarian officials, he said.

The Home Minister said a coastal police training academy would be set up on 25 acres of land in Udupi with a financial assistance of Rs 100 crore from the Centre. Automatic identification system, distress roaming system, boat collar coding system, etc will be used for patrolling the entire coastline in the state, he added.

Parmeshwara,

Wish you all the best, like you many of them have promised.

What about bribes will increase or remain the same...if policemen did not take bribes at least people will change themselves to obey the law...
At least give them better salaries to fill their stomachs than we paying to fill their pockets.....technology will not help people follow rules and expect Lisa loss of lives.....

25acre land for police training?@#$
Why destruction of forest , trees , animals again??
Wake up guys. Stop destruction of environment.

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.
