    The Mangalore Municipality should not permit construction
    of buildings on hills in Mangalore even if a retaining wall is
    foreseen, as the forces of nature are far greater and unpredictable
    than human understanding and greed and modern engineering.

    The same catastrophies happened on the hills of Manipal in Udupi
    in the vicinity of Central Cinemas because the Municipality did
    not bother to understand the physics of topography on this ancient
    hill of Manipal that was once a large forest leading into Karkala and
    Shimoga.

    Sadly, the authorities are only interested in the free revenue Builders
    give the government by excessive and unnecessary buildings,
