    Where are the so called environmentalists...? Now only the poor people are struggling. This is the way our favourite govts and politicians are helping the public. So it is proving that nothing can be achieved against political power.

    The management got strong support from the center as the owner is congress MP from AP and right hand of Sonia. So the local court's stay order never succeed. So by this way the future of our beautiful Mangalore is going to be a big mess with political powered industries.
