    It is really a shame, that Mangalore, once a peaceful city, with people of all denominations living in harmony has now needs to be reinforced with such a show of strength from the police to prevent any untoward incident due to the fall out of the Ayodhya judgement! As in 1992, even now on the eve of the Ayodhya Judgement, there is relatively much calm in Lucknow which is in close proximity of the holy city of Ayodhya, and ripples are ironically felt elsewhere in such far flung areas like Mangalore. What a shame.

    In this pic how many police man holding lati on their hand. only three or four,rest off all,only mobile phone. We can see in the city,most of the police men are holding mobile phones instead off lati. If anything happans in the sity,they are helpless. POLICE MEANS LATI - LATI MEANS POLICE. I am requesting here Mr Seemanth kumar must instruct them to hold a lati all the time while doing duity.

    The exit of Mr. Acharya as Home Minister and show of strength by our police force has reassured us that we are now in safe hands. May god bless you and give you the courage and wisdom to do full justice to your job.

    It was just a nuisance to the public, they stopped all vechicles coming from opposite direction & went so slowly, in an emergency they would certainly reach the place just like in movies( they always come at the end).
    We want quick, swift & timely movement instead of the one put up today. I hope police will realise their fault.
