    Couple of the criminals are hotel owners. So,naturally majority of the law officials and Govt. officials gather there for free meal. Money will hide the offences. Only hopes for the Mugera family is Manorama Madhwaraj,MP. A lady who stands straight among the crooked. The law says that a Dalith cannot be assaulted nor abused being they are SC community. They suffered enough in the past during British Rule.

    Our Coastal district along with Karnataka state becomes,Bihar of the south. Just awkward to see that,one time opposers of the project are becoming the supporters with the power of the money. These crooked people then go to House of Worship and put up a fake show in front of God.

    Religious heads hold hands of these crooks. This is where people of the area should support Ody Mugera to fight the project. If not, all of us are going to feel the pinch someday.
