Mangalore, Mar 23: Members of the district unit of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) took out a procession in the city in commemoration of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh's death anniversary on Friday.

Speaking after the culmination of the march in front of Deputy Commissioner's office, Muneer Katipalla, President, DYFI, DK, said that Bhagat Singh dreamed of a communal free India but today, the society has been divided badly on communal lines. The DYFI is committed towards building a communal free India and its activists are the true torch bearers of Bhagat Singh's ideology, Mr. Katipalla said.

“The DYFI gains strength from its youth power. Members of the DYFI must be as dedicated as Bhagat Singh was, who along with Rajguru and Sukhdev, even sacrificed his life for the nation,” Mr. Katipalla said.

Among the major problems plaguing the country today is the growing influence of corporate interests, Mr. Katipalla said.

“Mall culture has crept into our societies and capitalism is strengthening its roots. Youth and poor are being badly hit. Small scale workers and traders are suffering at the hands of the government's pro-corporate policies. As followers of Bhagat Singh, it is our duty to oppose this growing influence of multi-national companies and capitalistic forces”, Mr. Katipalla said.

Udupi: Deputy Commissioner K. Vidya Kumari has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for designated industrial zones in the district to facilitate new industries. She issued these instructions during a meeting at Rajatadri on Wednesday.

Lands have been identified across various taluks for industrial development. The DC emphasized that KIADB must acquire these lands and ensure essential infrastructure—electricity, roads, and drainage—to attract industries and generate employment.

A total of 77 acres of private land has been acquired and compensated, including 31.2 acres in Kerebettu village, Hebri taluk, and 45.7 acres in Shivapura village. However, approval for 36.5 acres of government land is still pending. She instructed the forest department to assess whether this land falls under an eco-sensitive zone.

For the Belapu Industrial Area, the DC urged officials to accelerate minor land acquisitions for road expansion and commence construction at the earliest. She also mandated rainwater harvesting systems for all units in the Miyaru Industrial Area to tackle water scarcity.

Currently, 22 export-based units operate in the district. The DC encouraged further promotion of exports and an increase in their number.

The meeting was attended by Joint Director of Industries Nagraj V. Naik, KIADB Development Officer Srinivasa Murthy, Small-Scale Industries Association District President Harish Kunder, Deputy Director of the District Industrial Center Seetharam Shetty, District Skill Development Officer Arun B., and others.
