    People can sit at home and Pray... and his job is not to protect those places.. Let him concentrate on the basic Infrastructure of the city.. and one request of mine is.. Please ban all the processions and festivals that are being celebrated on the middle of the roads. if they are so keen let them book Grounds and have it organized there and not obstruct public in any way

    Nice gesture by the new Mayor of Mangalore and his team.I would have equally happy had this team also visited Kadri Temple,Venkataramana Temple,Car street,Mangaladevi temple ,Kudroli Temple and Ulla Darga to seek blessings and completed the rituals in a single day and then sit in business as one year is coming to close after LB elections and only 4 years left now to show their capabilities of Admn.They should not forget that people are more watchful now ever before.
