    "Meanwhile the police from Mangalore and Kasargod are in dilemma as to which constituent should take up the responsibility of finding the missing Palani."

    According to your news this Palani Swami is from Salem, so I would suggest that TN police should take up the responsibility of finding the missing Palani.

    Come-on somebody go and search this missing person and think about the juridiction afterwards. The humanity must come first and then duty in the case like this. sometimes it makes me wonder if we live in the same country? why such a difficulty to take decision on juridiction in a situation like this??? we have been sharing borders with states for last 50yrs and what is so new about it? We have really lost respect for a human soul.. all it count is how much bank balance a victim or his family has.

    Indeed sometimes such incideents can be eye openers. It is a sad plight to observe these migrant workers living in dire straits and merely existing with their families and small children around the Old Mangalore Port / Bundar. The matter must be taken up and relief given to these hapless workers who have no other means.
