Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (DC)

Mangaluru, Jul 2: A message on WhatsApp that says 'Mangaluru's international airport is now named as Koti- Chennaya international airport' is going viral for the last few days.

However, airport officials clarified that the message is indeed a fake one.

"Some fake forwards are circulated in WhatsApp once again in connection to change of name of Mangaluru international airport. As per the fake news, Mangaluru international airport has been named as Koti-Chennaya international airport. The pranks still continue to circulate which really damages the image of the airport. Do not circulate the fake message." said an official.

A similar message was circulated earlier on Facebook by a page named 'Billawas Pride' requesting to rename the airport after Koti and Chennaya, two legendary heroes of Tulunadu.

It may be recalled that Billawa community members from the Dakshina Kannada district recently requested to rename the Mangaluru airport as 'Koti Chennaya airport'. Several Billawa community leaders along with Chittaranjan Kankanady, president of committee of the Brahma Baidarkala Garodi shrine offered prayers at the shrine in Kankanady June 27.

Chittaranjan Kankanady on the occasion said that they have decided to submit a memorandum to the MLA, MLC, airport authority and the Prime Minister urging them to rename the airport after legendary heroes of Tulunadu, Koti and Chennaya. Billawa leader Ravi Poojary Chilimbi, Jitendra Suvarna, Vasanth Poojary and Sanjeev Poojary were present.

The history of Koti-Chennaya dates back to the 6th century. Koti and Chennaya are two historical personalities who struggled for social justice and equality in society. The ideology of Koti-Chennaya is not reserved for any one community but it is for the whole society.

    In recent years we witness this craze of renaming roads, buildings and organizations in India. When there is a original identity for a road or organization it is utter foolishness to rename them later which leads to only confusion and benefits none. When something new is established you think of proper name for it instead of changing names later to ones whims and fancies.

    WhatsApp should have messages forwarded to increase Airport Runway instead of simply making false news.

    Instead the entire district should be renamed Tulu Nadu to denote the major language of the district. There’s no meaning in calling the district as Dakshina Kannada where Kannada is spoken by a small minority even though it is the official language of the state. The airport should retain the name of the city as Mangalore.

    Mangalore International Airport is the best name . No need of any changes
    After all nandigudda circle is already named after Koti Chennaya so there is no need of thinking of changing IXE airport name

    What's in a name?

    Renaming doesn't bring an end to controversies. Instead we should touch on matters of great concern.

    Evil mind is a devil's workshop. This is the result of narrow mindedness and non-constructive thinking - that's when the mind goes blank. Loads of urgent priorities need to be fulfilled and set in place. Rather we don't understand our priorities and instead take up these issues on a war footing. There is no time to be lost IF MANGALORE is to be a SMART CITY.
