February 23, 2012

Mangalore, February 23: The Karnataka chapter of Social Democratic Party of India is organising district wise mega conferences across the state with the slogan 'People's Political Conferences'. The conferences have been scheduled from January to March.

Revealing this at a press meet here on Thursday SDPI State Committee member Hanif Kodaje said that the party has geared up with all its potential to create political awareness and spread its vitalness among common people.

“With such an intention, the party is organizing state-wide district level public gatherings with the slogan 'People's Political Conference' – People's March to Power. As part of it, the district committee of Dakshin Kannada has decided to hold the People's Political Conference on March 2, at Nehru Maidan, in the city”, he said.

Abdul Jalil K, SDPI DK district president said that the Party's national president E Abubakkar, General Secretary Hafiz Mansur Ali Rajasthan, Tamilnadu M.P Thol Thirumavalam, SDPI Karnataka state president Abdul Majeed Kodlipete, president of Farmer Union Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, SDPI Karnataka state secretary Hemalatha and other national and state leaders of the party are expected take part in the programme.

Dedicated cadres of SDPI across the state have been equipped with the essentials required to give the People's Political Conference a lasting impression and making it a great success. Caravans, corner meetings, get-togethers, seminars, rallies, street plays, and public meetings are the tools that are being utilized by the well-trained teams to effectively publicize the events to attract the masses, he said.

“With 'People's March to Power', SDPI is heading towards each village and town across the state to empower the common people with the political awareness. All citizens of our nation irrespective of their religion, creed and language should get representation in power proportionate to the count of population. All the backward and deprived classes should get equal share in education, employment, land ownership, and other fundamental rights in all domains. SDPI wishes to strengthen the system of Secularism, socialism and democracy that are the components of our Constitution”, Mr Kodaje said.

He also said that the so-called national and regional political parties like Congress, BJP, Communist, JDS, BSP, etc. have totally failed in finding solutions to the problems of the people. Of these political parties, some are being ruled by specific families and some by upper-classes and our administration is abided by corporate. Corrupt politicians are hurling in scandals of billions of rupees. Many of such politicians have already been to and are in jails for their immoral and corrupt practices. And many more such public representatives are yet to be welcomed in the jails for their corruption. There should be a full stop to the election of representatives who are corrupt and communal, he added.

He said, both Congress and BJP have the same kind of foreign policies and economic policies. Foreign Investment Policies are being framed by the Governments, which are in favour of capitalists and are against the welfare of the common people, he said.

Akbar Ali, General Secretary, SDPI, D K district, Nasir Sajeepa, Vice president and Abubakkar Kulai President, SDPI, Mangalore City Corportation Committee were present at the press meet.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

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.

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.
