Surathkal, June 25: Alleging injustice in providing jobs to the youth from the Project Displace Families (PDF) of Mangalore Special Economic Zone (MSEZ), the job aspirants have decided to move the court stating that the district administration and the Company have promised to provide jobs to only those youth who have undergone training at KPT, but the fact is that there are many more youth who legally deserve to get placement in the company.

The decision to move the court was taken during the meeting of job aspirants and Bajpe, Permude, Kalavaru Samyukta Hitharakshana Samiti, at Vijaya Vittal Bhajana Mandir at Bajpe on Thursday.

Bowing down to the protests of the job aspirants who underwent training at KPT but were denied jobs, the district administration, District-in-Charge Minister, elected representatives and MSEZ officials convened a meeting and promised to provide jobs to them. But the youth who had given their land and have completed graduation, engineering and other professional courses at their own cost have not been taken into consideration.

They said that there are 1,061 youth from PDFs of which 411 youth have completed SSLC have been given training by the company at KPT. The remaining 650 persons who have completed their higher education on their own have been neglected. They said that the company should provide employment to direct job aspirants to trained aspirants on 650:411 ratio.

Other demands

They said that the company should provide stipend of Rs 10,000 per direct job aspirants till they are provided with employment. Company should provide employment to all by December 2012. Priority must be given to I PDF youth followed by II and III PDF.

Company should start Fire and Safety training at the earliest. The candidates not wanting job should be given Rs 10 lakh.

They said that if these demands are not fulfiled, then they would bring stay on every recruitment done by the company.

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The coastal city of Mangaluru witnessed yet another alarming car fire incident last evening, marking the latest in a series of similar mishaps in recent months. Fortunately, quick action by the driver and passengers prevented any injuries.

On January 1, a moving Volkswagen car caught fire on the road leading to the helipad at Maryhill. The passengers noticed flames emanating from the front of the vehicle. Acting promptly, the driver pulled over, and all four occupants exited safely.

Local residents attempted to douse the flames using water, and personnel from the Kadri fire service soon arrived to manage the situation. Despite their efforts, the car's engine was completely destroyed.

This incident adds to a growing list of car fire cases reported in Mangaluru recently:

December 16, 2024: A Hyundai car caught fire near City Centre Mall. The driver narrowly escaped.

November 15, 2024: A car was gutted within minutes near Kadri police station, though the driver escaped unharmed.

November 10, 2024: A Maruti 800 waiting at a petrol station caught fire and was completely burnt.

September 28, 2024: A parked BMW at Adyar was destroyed in a fire.

September 5, 2024: Another BMW caught fire near NITK.

In all these incidents, timely evacuation ensured that no injuries were reported. However, the frequency of such cases raises serious concerns about vehicle safety and the need for preventive measures.

Authorities and vehicle manufacturers must investigate the underlying causes of these fires to prevent future occurrences. Public awareness about vehicle maintenance and safety measures is also critical to avert such mishaps.
