Bengaluru, Feb 7: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayna on Sunday claimed that the Christian community in the state has donated over Rs 1 crore for the construction of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Ashwath Narayan said that it is wrong to say that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are against people belonging to minority communities. Prime Minister Modi has said 'sab ka saath, sab ka vikas and sub ka vishwas' was the BJPs mantra.

Talking on behalf of the Christian community, Ronald Colaco, an NRI business tycoon, said, "this is not the first time that our community has given donations, we have always been supportive in matters of the country."

Concerns raised over Toll Plaza construction near Sooralpady Masjid

News Network

September 9,2024

Mangaluru, Sept 9: An action committee has voiced concerns about the construction of a new toll plaza near Sooralpady Masjid on the Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala National Highway 169, 17 km from Nanthoor. Amidst ongoing construction, the Action Committee Against Surathkal Toll Gate claims irregularities and poor site selection.

Committee convener Muneer Katipalla noted that only 50% of the Nanthoor-Moodbidri-Karkala highway upgrade is complete after seven to eight years. The Nanthoor-Vamanjoor stretch remains unfinished, causing traffic issues, while dangerous hillside cutting near Kettikal has forced residents to relocate. Additionally, a flyover near Kaikamba threatens a local market.

Katipalla also criticized the construction of a bypass road, alleging it benefits real estate investors and inflates the project cost, which could increase toll fees. The proposed toll plaza, situated 36 km from Talapady toll gate and 35 km from Brahmarakotlu toll gate, violates distance regulations and is too close to local amenities, raising public objections.

There is growing concern that toll collection might begin before the project's completion, with locals frustrated by unaddressed grievances. Social activist Bava Padarangi, DYFI leader Srinath Kulal, and other community leaders attended the site visit.
