    Wow. My relatives in Udupi tried calling the Udupi Helpline. And there is no answer. Are these helplines just a shame? A humble request for the politicians and the bureaucrats that please ensure that you people live up to your words.

    look into have seawater desalination plant at Mangalore same like in Gulf Countries have.
