    Padukere residents are FOOLS. When tourists are flocking the area, instead of cashing upon it, they want to put a break!!!! Open up snack stalls, install street lights, clear the bushes, open up bear parlors....its a golden chance guys.

    But unfortunately, locals using beach as their personal toilet in the night and morning is considered a part of culture. Also I have observed several times that locals of Padukere bring their dustbin and dispose all their garbage in the beach. Let them first follow the culture of keeping their surroundings clean before pointing fingers at others.

    The hoarding is supposedly hung by the All Organisations Federation..... Who is this 'All Organisations Federation'?..... Is it a registered Society?..... Whether it is registered or not, what authority these federation has got to issue veiled threats to the tourists?.... Are these beaches leased out to these Jokers?..... Does this mean that tomorrow if these thugs perpetrate crime on the tourists, the local Administration will be a mute spectator? ...... After all when jokers are ruling, what one can expect is Comedy Circus.

    Do not get agitated by this prohibition. There are many such contradictions in Karnataka. Talakaveri figures as No.1 must visit tourist site in the Coorg website. But, at Talakaveri, you have police who watch your dress and do not allow entry to people who wear "Mukkal pant" including kids. No.1 reason given in the banner displayed in Talakaveri reads, "This is a holy site and not a tourist site". There are 6 more points there which are not followed. But a rule that is not written there viz., "Mukkal Pant" is followed. There cannot be a bigger joke. This is what happens when reasoning and lust for money cannot get on the same page but try to make ends meet - you speak volumes about Talakaveri on website and Kannada textbooks and enable burning of fossil fuel (toll collection (Rs.50) is also done) but do not allow entry after reaching there. Do you want any more good example of fleecing and waste of resources? There are many actually. Alidha Oorige (morally, historically and intellectually bankrupt electorate) Ulidavane Gowda (You know very well whom we elect as leaders - and that qualification is across party lines).
