    Kudos to Gerard Towers for this well deserved recognition. He is the towering personality not only in Mangaluru but in entire nation. He doesn’t belongs to any political party, nor he represent any religion, nor he has any personal agenda. Towers is my beloved friend from my childhood & I can vouch for his dedication & self sacrifice in fighting for the Civic rights & helping the helpless citizens. Hearty congrats my beloved friend Towers & I’m so proud of you. May all your dreams come true! May God Bless you & your lovely family for all your great works!

    Congratulations dear Gerard,
    These days we find very few people who are really concerned about the rights of people and fighting for them. With the level of corruption, I am sure the fight is too difficult and sometimes may be seen going against you as well and you may not find help. You have done a good job and your initiatives have been always supporting the common people regardless of caste creed and religion.
    I met you today in Kadri Market when you were fighting for better facilities for fish selling women who were selling fish in the open area with no shelter. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
