Puttur, Jan 19: These days the newspapers and news channels are filled with 'missing' columns.  Every day the reader comes across one or two news items regarding the going missing of a child, young man/woman, housewife or some one else.  Going missing has become a common phenomenon.  While in most of the cases, the reader knows only that a certain person has gone missing.  But there after no one reports or knows whether that particular person has come back or else been found out.  Anyhow since the public memory is short, certain things 'go missing' from their minds even.

Now here there is one more ‘missing' case.  But the object that has gone missing is changed.  Though it is not a big deal, it is about the deal of a big person. MLA Shakuntala Shetty has lost her  cell phone.  Some may feel what is great in that.  Of course not!  So many people lose their cell phones everyday.  In the last 6 months, more than 6 cell phone shops in Mangalore have been burgled with more than 150 handsets being stolen.

But MLA’s cell phone is not an ordinary cell phone.  Hundreds of people call that number everyday.  The MLA herself does so much of her 'political transactions' on that cell.  Now missing it suddenly is surely big news indeed.  But here it is not yet clear whether she lost her cell phone or some one stole it.  It is said that while she was on her way back home from her office, her cell phone 'went missing'. 

So the news is that now she is not available on her previous number 9448529777.  However, she will be available on the following number on a temporary basis.  So those who would like to contact her should call her up at her new number 9449065077.
