    Mr. shahnawaz kukkikatte, dubai/udupi, please learn to appreciate the efforts/good work of the people. As rightly stated by Gireesh Shetty, if the one's responsible for this kinda benefit were Oscar/Moily then there would have been rains of appreciation. Lets stop bringing down one party...Lets encourage people who are doing good to the common man.

    Dear Mr Rizwan Thats the reason how a person Like Mr Palemar is sitting strong in constituency like Surathkal with majority muslims in areas like jokatte or katipalla. Thats his calibre coz after the fall of Vijay Kumar Shetty Congress tried all its trump cards and vote bank politics but were un successfull in regaining Surathkal. But unfortunately today even if a small personnel crime happens in that area with communal smoke then BJP is blamed for the law and order.

    Mr Rizwan What you said is right. but ufortunately most of those people who stand in toes to crtisise Govt for any -ve work are not quite happy to see 2 faces in above pictures Mr Palemar's and Mr Anwar Mannipady coz they are associated with BJP.

    The comment says it all like a proverb in kannada (Mosaralli Kallu Hudukuva buddhi). Find a negative in any positive development. May be if Oscar or Moily was there instead of these two then Mr Shanawaz would have recomended them for Noble Peace prize award. Its Unfotunate that all are not like you dear Rizwan. Sadly they have some like minded media backing them.

    When you have international airport, its natural that you will get benefits and international flights. Almost all international airports in the country are operating direct hajj flights. Its not a big deal or achievement. Coastal haj piligrims are now free from transit and boarding/lodging problems they used to face all these years. Good luck, good health and safe journey and a successful hajj wishes to the piligrims.

    Surprisingly the name of an important personality Mr. Palemar, the minister who is seen in the above Photographs is MISSING in your report. Mr. Palemar is always seen actively involved in all the major programmes/activities taking place in Mangalore. Good work Mr. Palemar. Continue working for the development of Mangalore and its people.
