Mangalore, November 4: Sri Ram Sene Chief Pramod Muthalik urged the Chikmagalur district administration to make arrangement for the paduka darshana of Datta at Datta peeta during Datta Mala Abhiyana, which will be held from Novermber 8 to 13.

Addressing a press meet here on Friday, he said that the preparations are on for the Datta Mala Abhiyana throughout the state. “I have written to the Chikmagalur Deputy Commissioner seeking permission for the Paduke darshana. However, I did not get any reply from the authorities so far. About 5,000 devotees along with 25 sages will take part in the Datta Mala Abhiyana. The Shobhayathra of the Abhiyana will be held on November 13,” he said.

In view of Bakrid, many have started illegal transportation of cows for slaughtering on the day of Bakrid. Hence, the police and the State government should initiate action against the illegal transportors and should not give scope for the slaughtering of the cows, he demanded.

Muthalik said that Sri Rama Sene has no connection with the attack on St Alphonsa Church at Kankanady on Thursday night.

State convenor Prasad Attavar said the attack on the church was an attempt to tarnish the image of Sri Rama Sene.

“The Sene was not involved in any attack on the church or masjid. The police should probe into the attack on church in Mangalore,” he said.

To a query on Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti members resorting to pelting of stones and observing black day to mark Kannada Rajyotsava, he said being in Karnataka, such reactions and retaliations are wrong.

To another query on plebiscite at Kashmir, Muthalik said that Kashmir is an integral part of India. One inch of the land from Kashmir will not be given away to others. If any government goes ahead with according autonomous status and pelbiscite issue, then Sri Rama Sene will raise its voice against any such move.

Though the press conference was scheduled to be held at Maya International in Balmatta, the venue was shifted to Pathumudi Soudha and later to a house.

As the police had asked the organisers not to hold the press meet by Muthalik in Mangalore, the venue was shifted, said State convenor Prasad Attavar. However, the police too took part in the press meet in civil dress.

As Muthalik had not spoken anything controversial or on the church attack, the police did not arrest him.

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.

Udupi: The pontiffs of Sri Paryaya Puttige Mutt, the sacred seat of Jagadguru Shrimad Madhvacharya Moola Samsthanam, have submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister seeking comprehensive development for Udupi district. 

Proposal for International Airport

A key request is the establishment of an international airport. Highlighting that around 1,000 acres of land are available and suitable, the pontiffs noted that the existing Mangalore Airport provides limited international connectivity. They suggested the airport be developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) or as a Greenfield Airport to boost trade, education, healthcare, and spiritual tourism.

Metro and Rapid Transit Connectivity

The proposal also calls for Metro Rail or Rapid Transit between Mangaluru and Udupi. The 55 km coastal stretch experiences heavy daily commuter traffic, causing congestion. The district administration is ready to prepare an initial project report for a Mass Rapid Transit corridor and requested inclusion under national urban mobility programmes to ensure safe, green, and time-efficient regional transport.

Port and Coastal Development

The pontiffs urged the development of an international-standard port with a cruise terminal along Udupi’s coast. They also requested fast-tracking of pending coastal tourism projects and revising Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms to encourage sustainable infrastructure and hospitality investment.

IT, AI and Technological Infrastructure

Support was sought for an IT and AI Innovation Park with incubation facilities under Digital India and Startup India initiatives. The proposal also emphasized the need for strengthened data security and cloud computing infrastructure to boost India’s technological independence.

Sports and Education Initiatives

The pontiffs requested national sports status for Kambala, along with financial and infrastructure support. They also sought the establishment of an AIIMS in Udupi, a new IIT campus, and approval for an IIM to promote higher education in the district.

Representation to the Prime Minister

Sri Sugunendra Tirtha Pontiff and Sri Sushrendra Tirtha Swamiji represented the pontiffs in submitting the comprehensive development proposal to the Prime Minister during his recent visit.
