Mangalore: Special play area for special children at Kadri park soon

October 14, 2014

Mangalore, Oct 14: In view of providing some fun to the differently abled children, Mangalore South MLA J.R. Lobo, has planned for a unique play area for them at Kadri Park, in the city.

œRs 15 lac has been sanctioned from the MLA fund for this purpose, Lobo said on Tuesday.

Kala Deepak, mother of a differently abled kid, who put forth this thought before the MLA said, œI thought even special children deserve fun and happiness. Being a parent of such a kid, I know the trauma and the pain the children go through as they are kept isolated from the society. The MLA certainly deserves applauds for making my dream come true.

Mangalore City Corporation Mayor Mahabala Maarla said, œAs the special children will not be able to engage in recreational activities with the equipments installed for normal kids, specially designed equipments will be put in place for the blind and handicapped children among others, thus ensuring that the children do not get injured while playing.

The project has been assigned to Architect Venkatesh Pai and is likely to be open in three months.

Mangaluru: MLA Kamath, other BJP leaders arrested during protest against Cong govt

News Network

January 3,2025

BJP MLA Vedavyas Kamath and several BJP leaders were arrested in Mangaluru during a protest organized by the Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha near Mini Vidhana Soudha.

The protest targeted the Congress-led Siddaramaiah government, accusing it of fostering an environment of harassment and distress, which the BJP claims has led to multiple suicides among contractors and government officials.

Key Points:

Addressing the gathering before his arrest, Kamath criticized the Congress government, alleging that neither contractors nor honest officials have found peace since it assumed power. He remarked, "Suicide seems to be the only 'guarantee' under this administration."

Kamath cited the suicide of contractor Sachin, allegedly driven to death by harassment from individuals linked to Minister Priyank Kharge.

Other cases highlighted included the suicides of Chandrashekar, superintendent of the Maharshi Valmiki Development Corporation, and Rudresh, who was allegedly harassed by an aide of Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar.

Kamath also referred to a Dalit inspector, Parashuram, who reportedly succumbed to alleged torture connected to Congress MLA Channareddy Patil’s son.

He accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar of remaining silent due to political fears over their positions.

Prominent BJP leaders such as Ramesh Kandetthu, Premananda Shetty, Vikas Puttur, Nandan Mallya, Monappa Bhandary, Pooja Pai, Deputy Mayor Bhanumathi, and Sanjay Prabhu participated in the protest alongside party workers and municipal council members.

The protest escalated, resulting in the arrest of Kamath and other BJP leaders by the police, marking a dramatic standoff between BJP and Congress.
