Mangalore, Jul 11: Educated youth today shy away from doing jobs that they consider below their dignity. Expecting an Engineering graduate to take cattle for grazing would be too much to ask for. But, in case of engineering graduate Milan Shetty, who was electrocuted to death on Wednesday after coming in contact with a high tension wire that was dangling on the outskirts of the city due to the negligence of Mescom, this was not true.

For Milan, taking care of the cattle was something close to heart. While he took pride in toiling in the field and taking care of the livestock, he knitted several dreams of having a plush job and earning good salary to build better future for himself and his family. However, all of these dreams wound up quite too fast as Milan died an untimely death on Wednesday morning.

For no fault of his, Milan laid numb on the ground early on Wednesday morning, near his house in Farangipet in Bantwal taluk after being electrocuted. Ironically, he had been there to take his cattle for grazing.

Milan was a hard working young boy. After having completed his primary and higher primary schooling in Mumbai, Milan came to Mangalore for his Higher Secondary Education. He completed his engineering degree from Sahyadri College of Engineering last year and was on a look out for job.

He had appeared for interview for several companies in Bangalore. Two days ago he should have left to Bangalore but confusion in his passport with regard to his name prevented him. His plan to go to Bangalore after two days will never happen.

Poor family

Milan's father Ramesh Shetty ran a petty shop in Mumbai. Mr Shetty came back to native place after he developed heart problem. Despite acute poverty the parents saw to it that the financial constrains never posed impediments to the dreams of their children. Despite all odds, the family nurtured Milan's dreams of becoming an engineer. His younger sister Nidhi too is studying in a private college in Mangalore. Milan's mother Vasanthi Shetty is the member of Pudu Gram Panchayat.

Coincidence

A startling fact is that four years ago one of the cattle of Ramesh Shetty had got electrocuted at the same spot. On Wednesday the family could not help but recalled the incident because this day it was their son who was electrocuted at the same spot.

While the Shetty family was about to see better days with Milan settling down in life, all of their dreams have been dampened by fate.

Karwar, May 5: What commenced as a mere exchange of words between spouses swiftly transmuted into a calamitous ordeal, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of their innocent offspring. The heart-wrenching incident unfolded in the serene confines of Halamaddy village in the picturesque expanse of Dandeli, nestled within the idyllic expanse of Uttara Kannada district.

In the throes of a fervent dispute with her spouse, the aggrieved wife, succumbing to an overwhelming surge of emotions, callously propelled their tender six-year-old progeny into the somber depths of a nearby canal, thereafter alerting the local populace to her grievous act.

Promptly apprised of the distressing occurrence by concerned bystanders, the authorities were swiftly summoned to the scene to confront the harrowing aftermath.

Responding to the distress call, the diligent officers of Dandeli rural police swiftly converged upon the site where the innocent child had been cast into the unforgiving waters of the canal, subsequently effecting the retrieval of the child's lifeless form. 

Regrettably, it was discerned that a portion of the child's remains had been tragically claimed by the lurking jaws of a predatory crocodile.

Mangaluru, May 4: The Mangaluru International Airport was besieged with a harrowing message of terror recently, when an email, purportedly from malevolent elements, menacingly declared the planting of bombs within the airport premises. 

Addressed to the office of the airport authority, the missive, steeped in ominous overtones, bore the ominous signature of a terrorist faction, ominously named 'Terrorizers 111'.

The communication, disseminated in English, ominously detailed the clandestine emplacement of explosives in areas eluding facile detection, accompanied by a chilling warning of their imminent detonation. The threat, ominously looming over not only the infrastructure but also the airborne vessels, portended a catastrophic deluge of bloodshed and loss.

In response to this dire communiqué, airport authorities swiftly engaged the apparatus of law enforcement, dispatching urgent alerts to the vigilant guardians of public safety. Acting upon the dictates of higher echelons, a formal dossier of this menacing correspondence was meticulously compiled, cloaked in the veil of confidentiality to thwart any premature dissemination.

Mangaluru International Airport found itself in grim camaraderie with more than 30 counterparts under the aegis of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and private domains, all recipients of this chilling electronic diatribe. A comprehensive net of precautionary measures was swiftly cast, fortifying the bastions of security in anticipation of any nefarious designs lurking within the shadows.

Mangaluru, May 4: A tragic incident unfurled last evening in Subrahmanya of Kadaba taluk in Dakshina Kananda, where a young gentleman, who had recently entered the bonds of matrimony a mere ten days hence, met his untimely demise due to a lightning strike.

As twilight descended, a tempestuous thunderstorm, accompanied by billowing rain clouds, cast its shadow over the locale.

Somasundar was diligently engaged in the task of piling up dried nuts in the yard to shield them from the impending deluge, when fate cruelly intervened, subjecting him to the fatal force of a lightning bolt.

Despite the expeditious efforts to convey him to Kadaba Community Hospital subsequent to his sudden indisposition, he tragically succumbed to his injuries. 

Somasundar, who operated a car washing enterprise in proximity to Subrahmanya, is mourned by his mother, sister, and wife.
