June 28, 2016

Mangaluru, Jun 27: Two local youths who were arrested by security forces nearly eight years ago on suspicious terror charges and lodged in a jail in Mambai, were produced before a court in Mangaluru amidst tight security.

Ahmed Bava alias Abubaker, from Haleyangadi and Naushad from Subash Nagar, Pandeshwar, arrested in 2008, were brought to the city by Mumbai police on Monday and produced before III Additional Sessions Court.

The duo were produced before court in connection with a case registered in the Ullal police station under IPC 242/08.

After hearing the argument from additional pleader Narayana Sherigar, the court scheduled the next hearing of the case to July 21, 22 and 23.

A total of seven persons including a father and son were arrested in a suspected terror case. Family members of the accused believe that all the seven arrested are innocents and victims of some conspiracy.

The arrest process had started on October 3, 2008 in Mangaluru taluk. 20-year-old Javed Ali, and his 60-year-old father Mohammed Ali were dragged out of their house at Ullal in a pre-dawn operation carried out jointly by Mumbai Police with the help of Karnataka Anti-Naxal Force and the Dakshina Kannada district Police, on October 3, 2008.

Later the police arrested five others: Fakir Ahmed, Moulana Shabbir Bhatkal and Mohammed Rafeeq, Ahmed Bava alias Abubaker and Naushad. Among the seven arrested four were subsequently released on bail.

Shabbir Bhatkal is currently lodged in Mangaluru jail, while Ahmed Bava and Naushad are in the custody of Mumbai police. Cases were pending against them in Mangaluru, Mumbai and Ahmadabad courts.

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

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.
