    Constant interaction and co-ordination among eminent leaders/personalities, as evidenced by the above meeting, is very much advisable/inevitable, in the present troubled times facing the world.

    This is particularly required in the case of D.K. and Udupi districts, which, unfortunately, despite possessing highly literate, cultured and progressive people, are passing through a very volatile period in their history. It is high time all concerned get together to bring back these two leading districts back to their past glory - maximum progress for all its citizens - free from political, communal and group fights.
