Mangaluru, Dec 19: Sri Rajasekharananda Swami, the chief pontiff of Vajradehi Mutt in Gurupura here, had recently set a deadline for Mangaluru police to bring back an ‘eloped’ bride, has warned of intense protests across Dakshina Kannada districts.

Priyanka (25), a resident of Dharegudde village on the outskirts of the city, has reportedly eloped with her boyfriend Hyder. Her family had made all preparations for her wedding on December 11. However, she left home on December 9.

A few days ago, the family received a letter in the name of Priyanka. The letter stated that she was happy with one Hyder, and insisted that they stop searching for her. The letter further read that the couple will soon appear before the court and that Priyanka has written letters to the DC, the SP and Moodbidri police station.

However, Priyanka’s mother has cast aspersions over the letter, saying the handwriting did not match with that of her daughter. She claimed that Priyanaka has taken 10 sovereigns of gold, passport and Aadhaar card among other items with her.

Accompanied by a group of saffron activists, the seer visited Priyanka's house on Sunday and said that police must produce her before the family by December 22. He expressed dissatisfaction over the police department for its "slow pace" of investigation.

The seer went on to accused organisations like Popular Front of India of trapping and kidnapping Priyanka and forcing her to be with a Muslim youth named Priyanka. “The case should be investigated thoroughly,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal activists have called the case another ‘love jihad’. They alleged that the police were investigating the case for the heck of it. They said though adequate information was provided to them about Hyder, they visited his house only once.

This seer i think has no job but to give illogic/false/unrealistic/anti social/anti humanity / anti communal statemetns.  He does not know what he is saying.  Instead of preaching good thing to public he is diverting them for voilence and hatred.  this is not good dear Seer.

It is really pains to any parent or any reasonable person whenever such incident takes place.

 

First of all it  is worth thinking to prevent it rather than  give a chance to happen and repent  later.

It happens mostly with most of the non-Muslims and also happens seldom with Muslims.

 

Here is a point to think deeply, Social Liberalism with Hindus and other communities is much more than their fellow muslim counterparts.

This is the point where our all Hindu and other brethern to think it seriously. Once you allow free mingling in mixed genders,  you can not rule out the possibility of such mishaps, there is a risky chance to happen certaily. Grow your girls in such atmosphere with their own female society whre they freely mingle with ladies than sending them to work and study and mingle in mixed gender environment.

If you practice it 90% of such mishaps can be eliminated. Send them to womens college, if you dont have, we need to create it. Allow them to work with only women.

It is difficult but not impossible.

May God help to protect all our women, men and everyone.

 

Your brotherly thinker

PFI converting poor Hindus girls.. That exposed with video proof by IndiaToday. Nobody opposed that because it revealed by PFI leaders only. No national media made big issue that.

 

 

If any of Hindu org revealed something like that then all Muslim org + national media will give full coverage for atleast one month

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.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
