Dear NN, Yadiyurappaji is paying Rs.2/- from his pocket not from our taxes. Dial 108 ambulances running around with pictures of Yadiyurappaji and Sriramulu are also not from tax payer’s money.
We don’t have to praise the good work done by any government, because we pay them hefty salary, quality accommodation and allowances to do good work. We have to alert them only when they forget to do their job, Mr. Nayak.

Mr. Nagesh Nayak, Mr. M. Bhat Mumbai, Did you ever carried out the following:
1) By climbing coconut tree, did you plucked coconuts? (not one time but several times)
2) Did you climbed areca nut tree and plucked areca nuts? (not one time but several times)
3) Did you ever clean the cowshed (in Konkani Sarem kaadn sarem vovoailave)
4) Did you water the areca garden/coconut garden (not one time but several times)
5) Did you sowed and brought up the vegetables?
6) Did you ever milk the cow? (not one time but several times)

If not what you have done?
1) Only bjp agents work.
2) Only trading work there by raising the prices of commodities.
3) Only a middle man to sell the produce at an exorbitant rate and pay the farmer the least money for his produce.
If you have not accomplished the 6 points specified above you are unworthy person to comment for any farmers woes.

It is better to start agitation once again as it looks to be fooling the farmers by the bureaucrats, politicians and the real estates agents. The real estate people are minting the money in the name of multinational companies. I urge the concerned authorities to look in to the subject truthfully without grabbing farmers land and Mr. Gregory Patrao must receive justice

MRPL started to give a new twist to the farmers campaign against land grabing by MSEZ. this tactics is being plotted to win the confidence of industrialists and politicians to bring pressure on the government to acquire the land of Gregory Patrao.This move needs to be condemned and let the district administration stop any kind of action favouring the company.Let Gregory gets back his land for his livelihood.

As one, Indians fought for independence from foreign rule and succeeded at a cost none of us can imagine. We are forgetting the valuable lessons handed down to us from the invasion/independence saga. History is repeating itself .. the similarities are glaringly clear. We are opening our doors to every element in the form of industrialization and development. Our farmers are cheated off their highly fertile lands. Please do not feel too proud that large business concerns have focused on Mangalore for their ventures. Already a common man is feeling the effect in the form of price hike, atmospheric change, pollution on ground and air, eg. The farms effected due to the flow of waste from UPCL plant of Udipi.

Let us not be too eager to welcome in our midst these unscrupulous businesses and the other elements that come along with them. I hope we do not live to regret all these extreme changes. Farmers and the upkeep of farms should have our complete support.

Why MRPL is in a mess? I do not understand why company wait till they lose Rs.600 crores. This is another drama from the MRPL managments. Financial Controler and the managments fully responcibilities for lose of 600 crores. The company financial controler reporting to CEO or GM for monthly forecasting, co ordinating month end and year end closes. Also responcible for finance the annual budget process and balance sheet.

It is very sad that govt acquire lands in the name of development. once acquired from the farmer at cheap rate, then after few years sell / transfer the same land to the POWERFUL PEOPLE again at cheap rate (with taking bribe). Please see what happend to MCF, few years back acquired from farmers aat though away rate and now who is the owners of MCF. days are very short Mallya bab will convert that land into his own needs !! I have a question to govt / MRPL here, if they really need to compensate Patro, can they offer thier own indidual land/house to Patrao ? is any officers or politician can offer him ? it is very easy to acquire others land/house in the name of development / industrialisaton / urbanasation / employment / power supply etc... See what happend in Nandikoor, acquired land from farmes and now flooding, salt water into fertile fields, damage coastal lifeline NH road, pollution...

I have full sympathy for Mr.Patrao as he has magnanimously handed over / lost his fertile lands for various Government projects. I too share his anguish for misuse of his land by corrput people and politicians. He should be fully compensated in addition to providing him land of simialr quality else where of his choice by MRPL/ONGC.
However, i feel we need industrialisation for development of our country, which provides employment to locals, taxes to Government etc, though polluting industries has its own drawbacks. Whether Mr.Patrao agrees or not ONGC being a Government entity would acquire his land now or later on thier own terms. This has happened during forceible acquisiton of land for konkan route in Karwar and in GOA. Land is a scarce commodity, Government should have thought before granting permission to pollutiining industries.

Hi Arun

I doubt anybody is against industrialization. But industrialization in Mangalore and that too in ones farmyard is something that disturbs one and all.

Dont think that gulf region is advanced to a height just because of industrialization. Industrialization is an evolution from the civilization.

If you have ever made a trip to Egypt, I am sure you would have only travelled vertically in the land along with the Nile. Civilization of the world began in the sand and took such a zenith in the place where Nile was only emerging. The Nile ends somewhere downward and outward of Egypt and is much fertile there than in Egypt. But the civilization started and remained intact.

The same goes to Indus civilization. People migrated to the riverside of Ganges, Indus, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Narmada, ... Then there started a farming/vegetation in need of survival and contentment. Roads, industries are made to make things easy and faster. It does not mean - that industries that process fossil fuel etc need to be at the centre point of civilization. You can only wipe out the civilization.

Nuclear fission only if contained is useful to be used. But stat says it is still not perfect and safe. Bhopal is what you have as an answer.

Same holds good to building dam, Dam is never built across the river to submerge the vegetation land, rather built to expand the irrigation means.

Do we have to wipe out the civilization of mangalore for industrialization? Think twice

are you living in fantasy world ?
one side yadiyurappa giving Rs 2/ per liter for milk and assure that he will not allow to acquire farmers land for mega projects and otherside he will snatch the land from the farmers for the MSEZ projects through KIADB. Be practical. If Farmers agriculture land was aquired for mega projects , then where these poor farmers will go? and where they can cultivate ?
If this will continue then one day we have to depend on either china or other countries for grains and all agriculture products. Karnataka have many dry land which is useless for agriculture where KIADB can aquire it for SEZ projects not in agriculture land in mangalore. And morever MRPL and other mega companies promised to give job to local people but they are conducting interviews in either Chenni and other places outside mangalore. And morever they will pollute our environment also

To the people who are against Industrialisation.
Its easy for people like is to stay in place like gulf or other parts of the developed world than India and say NO we dont need Industrialisation. But look what it has done to region like gulf who dint have anything except sand and date trees once upon a time.

There is no choice and it too late and cry coz we are responsible for this situation when we couldnt control population explosion. Evry problem in India , the root comes and ends at population. We have to check that one fist and then try to solve others. No matter weather we like or dont like Industrialisation or not but that is the need of the hour. No youth is ready today after Patrao to go to feild and work. Evryone wants salary job. what will Patrao do to his farm after his time.

Ms Patrao, work out a compromise formula otherwise you will loose everything. Remember you are fighting against MRPL which comes under Petroleam Ministry. They have the power to do anything from State to center. Why simply this cry after you know you have excepted their money ten years back, filed a case lost it, till when will you fight ? what will you get at the end of it ?. After investing thousands of Crores do you think they will stop at your doorstep just coz you have some mee support ?

Generously GOI should amend Land Reforms and constitutions to fasten the growth of economy by bringing equal distribution of wealth, reduce corruption in the departments, & IT should restrict each individual to hold limited land property (so that there will a hold to recent raise (sky high) in land rates)...better GOI should intervene and properly compensate the sufferers to the Gov projects

Dear Nagesh, Please give a pause and think differently.

Please look from humanity point of view. Parties such as BJP, org like RSS or VHP are temporary shelters for those who live or trapped in them. Same for those under other banners such as Cong, JD, or whatever.

Religion is something like a core culture of humans. Dont touch it, does not matter one likes or not. In a nutshell, religion is the one that makes man to grow towards better path, with right phylosophies.

Vetican, Varanasi, Mecca, and Amritsar are none other than the religious icons of different religion and nobody has right to point to those.

Judiciary system, legislation, law and order are what the society created, for some disciplinary measures. But it is never perfect in a given time, so is the process of metamorphism.

There are always all traits of people in the society. But it is our duty to cope-up with the stress and correct them if we can, to best of our extent. And that too with no blame to the family, race, religion, country, and so on.

Key message is "Think global, Think human".

I fully agree with Gilson. Mangalore has already been converted into a concrete jungle without resort to any planning whatsoever. End result is chaos and haphazard development at the cost of the common man.

People with short term view and greed give in seeing the big one time compensation they get and move out. But real long term thinkers with an open mind like Gregory Patrao would never give up their lands, these are the real sons of the soil, the real farmers.

Nagarjuna Power's plant is already driving away the farmers from the adjoining lands due to blatant environmental regulation violations, but who cares, all in authority cannot open their mouths coz they have been bought, Who cares???

See BP which is now on the verge of bankruptcy coz of oil spilling from one of its deep water wells in the US, such should be the force of regulations!!

There is so much of barren land in DK along with extreme poverty, why these co's are not going there and developing these places?? See a newly developed port in Gujarat (Mundra Port) which has been developed on 14000 acres of arid and barren land thus bringing real development and employment to scores of people improving the quality of life of the poverty stricken inhabitants, such should be the attitude, not of pseudo development at the cost of destruction of bountiful nature and fertile food producing mother earth.

Gregory is very right in fighting for his rights and nothing can come in his way as God is surely with him.......

To Abba and many more who are in favour of industrialization in Mangalore.

FYI, In the name of Industrialization, the entire Mangalore and DK land would be eventually acquired. Wild life would be at your doorsteps, Noise would be above 90db for one to experience deafness at the age of 50, not 60 . Societies would eventually be dominated by Dialysis centres, radiation-theraphy and what not.

We have already experienced the wave of Konkan Railway, Road enlargement, conversion of state HW to National HW, Power plants, Sugar plant, earlier phase of MRPL, etc etc.,

Thousands of companies like these are acquiring thousands of acres of land each, all in the name of building plants, building a campus, apartments to the employess etc.,

One fine day, when things are bad for these companies, they realize a huge profit out of real-estate sale. This has already been seen by the world and still going on. Even companies such as Infosys needs thousands over acre of land - for what ? Software industries dont need land to mine software bugs. But for sure, they have a long vision of making money, but primarily - the poor people would lose their fertile land.

God bless one and all. We know our fate anyway. I guess dominant portion of the society is abroad in middle east. If waves are stronger than the MRPL, then perhaps, the entire population would end up taking jobs abroad and live peacefully.
