Only Modi can build great nation in future: Nalin Kumar Kateel

November 8, 2013

Mangalore, Nov 8: With an eye on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha organised its first district party workers' meeting at the BJP office here on Friday.

Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel inaugurating the meet said that the Congress-led state government has implemented'shaadi bhagya' scheme to grab the votes of the minorities. He also criticised the anti-superstitions bill proposed by Siddaramaiah.

Speaking on the failure of Congress-led government at the Centre, he said that price hike and inflation are the proof for the failure of UPA government's ten-year governance.

“After UPA government came to power, PM Manmohan Singh was unable to defend the country from Chinese intrusion. The Naxal problem in the country has not receded, but is rising unchecked even in parts of Dakshina Kannada. There are chances of increase in bomb blasts in the country too and to prevent and protect the country, NDA government has to come to power and Narendra Modi should become the next prime minister,” he said.

Billing former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee as the most successful prime ministers of the country in the recent past, he said that if dream of building a great nation was to be fulfilled in the coming days, it could be done only by Narendra Modi.

Confident that the NDA government would come to power after the next elections, he said that a recently conducted survey showed that the BJP would gain the maximum number of seats in the Lok Sabha in the coming elections.

National secretary of BJP Yuva Morcha Vikas Puttur said that it was important for the party workers to serve the party and people, keeping aside their egos. “Across political parties, several youth in the country have already proclaimed 'Modi as PM'. The party workers have the responsibility of taking this mission forward,” he said, adding that there was a need and necessity for workers to also draw the common youth towards this goal.

He said that the Congress was bent on implementing anti-Hindu policies.

MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik, Yuva Morcha state vice-president Kishore Kumar, district president Ranjan Gowda, district vice-president Adarsh Shetty, Sanjeev Mathoor and others were present.

QR-code tips power Mangaluru's major drug bust: 25 arrested in 2 weeks

News Network

December 16,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.
