Mangalore, Feb 17: Close to 1.5 lakh people are expected to take part in BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's programme to be held at Nehru Maidan and all necessary arrangements including beefed up security measures were in place for the big event on Tuesday, said BJP district president Pratap Simha Nayak.

Speaking to mediapersons on the eve of Modi's visit to the city, he said that the final countdown to the arrival of Mr Modi in Mangalore had begun and people of undivided Dakshina Kannada were eagerly awaiting his address at the public convention. Mr Modi will be accompanied by BJP leaders such as Ananth Kumar, B S Yeddyurappa, national joint organising secretary V Satish and state president Prahlad Joshi to the convention, he said.

There will be four big LED screens set up for public viewing of the event at the maidan, and two additional LED screens outside the venue to enable more people to view the speeches of various dignitaries, he said.

He said that Narendra Modi was expected to arrive at the venue at 3 p.m. from the airport at Bajpe.  There will be bhava-geete programme prior to the convention from 2 p.m. onwards, he said.

He said that separate seating arrangements will be made for students who will arrive for the event. “Necessary arrangements including security, food and transport have been made to welcome the audience. Our expectancy is that the event will be bigger than the public conventions that were held in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi,” he said.

He said that iron pieces collected from farmers and sand samples collected from various parts of the district will be displayed on the occasion at the venue as part of the Statue of Unity project proposed in Gujarat.

Over 2,000 party workers in 35 divisions have been preparing for the big event from the past 20 days, he added.

BJP state vice-president MB Bhanuprakash, former MLAs Yogish Bhat and Krishna Palemar were present.

Udupi, Nov 7: In a tragic turn of events, a young woman, Prasanna, aged 29, allegedly died by suicide on Wednesday, struggling to cope with the demands of work and motherhood after the birth of her daughter, according to police reports.

Prasanna had married on December 2, 2022, and was the mother of a 10-month-old baby girl. Her husband works in Bengaluru, while she lived with her in-laws, who, according to her family, treated her kindly.

In a complaint, Prasanna's mother revealed that her daughter often called her, expressing deep concerns over her readiness for motherhood. Despite receiving supportive care from her family, Prasanna felt unprepared and overwhelmed by the balance of work and home life that early motherhood required.

Her family shared that she had been undergoing treatment, but between 10 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday, she allegedly took her own life at her husband’s residence. The Karkala Rural Police Station has registered a case and is conducting further investigations.

Mangaluru, Nov 7: In the quiet village of Tippunagar, Loretto Padavu, a heartbreaking accident claimed the life of three-year-old Aashika on Wednesday, leaving a family and community shattered.

Aashika, the beloved daughter of Unais from Pattanabailu near Farangipet, was simply enjoying a carefree moment, playing outside her grandmother’s house. It was then that an unimaginable tragedy struck: a parked goods tempo, owned by her uncle, unexpectedly rolled backward, trapping the innocent child beneath its wheels.

Despite her family’s desperate rush to get her to the hospital, little Aashika’s injuries proved too severe, and she was declared dead upon arrival. Her passing has cast a deep shadow over the close-knit community, who grieve alongside her family for the life taken too soon.

The Bantwal traffic police have registered a case and are investigating the incident, while the community mourns the loss of a precious young soul who had only just begun to experience life’s wonder.
