    Day by day new names and types of Vedikes are coming up in Mangalore like Mushrooms. Hafta Vasool was in Bombay before now it is started in Mangalore. Today's unemployed youngsters are trying to grab money and valuables from business peoples, Vendors and from poor public. Please put them behind bars and give rigorous imprisonment until they know what they are doing!!!.
