I am a native of Permude village. I have had a review of so called high handed approached by the authorities undermining the sentiments of locals and thereby damaging the fabric woven on democratic values. We have been living in this area for generations and hence, every nook & cranny/corner of our locality reminds us of our childhood memories. Therefore, this place is very close to our heart and hence, has sentimental value which can never be evaluated in terms of commercial parameters. “United we stand, divided we fall”.

Locals have started realizing the gravity of the issue and they can no longer take the matter lying down. Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruit. All have to put their minds and hearts together with a view to arrive at a mutually beneficial solution so as to ensure better future for our younger generation. We all have a right to reap the benefit of development process that is taking place in our region. Local administration (Panchayat) has a social responsibility towards the community welfare of the people in the region and hence, high handed approach by the Land Acquisition squad is an indication that they are not following rules of the game to achieve their set goals. KIADB are also one of the stake holders in the proposed Mangalore SEZ Limited and their role in depriving benefits of local people was the bone of contention which led the peace loving local people to protest against the Land Acquisition authorities.

We all need to escape from the clutches of land acquisition with a view to do justice to our younger generation. We are talking about 9.2% growth but it is time for all of us to look at how other India survives. If we lose our houses & surrounding property, we will have to start all over again elsewhere which will be an uphill task and this type of approach will only widen the gap between shining and sighing India. The village upbringing has given me enough insight to the lives of farming community and dignity of labour vis-à-vis our traditional family occupation in agriculture but this type of approach is gradually diminishing in our younger generation. We need to instil those values in our younger generation and focus on farming to achieve self reliance on food generation. Prices for essential commodities are rising and hence, it is a wake up call for all of us to put our minds and hearts together with a view to influence our younger generation on agriculture oriented activities.

Great job by Mr.Walter and daiji team. Try to reach some more interesting constituencies. About Puttur really we have to salute Sakku akka if her statement is corect about the developemental work. Mr.Jagga also a nice person, at present trend BJP is not in the race.

According to me B J P should become Chief Minister! I mean ...B Janardhana Poojary !
