Monks and volunteers continue to do the good work in our city as other political groups, religious groups and school managements stay idle drowned by their own inability to step out of political/religious mindset.

Hell’s bells and buckets of toddy!
Bhakth’s salutation to ‘Pradhana Sevaka’ has relegated from ‘Narendra Modiji’ to ‘Narendra Modi’? Is it the demonetisation effect? Someone in his syndicate must have lost a fortune. Nitte guys are beating their chest and are on sackcloth, weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth wondering what to do with their old Gandhi notes.
After quick photoshoot BJP’s ‘Jaddus’ borrowed from AAP is permanently vanished. PM Modi government which recently selected Mangalore for smart city is continue to strive for clean image.
Even though it is highest concentration of educated people 16 attempts still not proving to be futile.I appreciate the great work of mission and continues dedication for cleanliness.
The city is also badly need to come out of pub attacks, gau rakshaks, moral police.
Garbage can be removed any number of time and cleanness can only be made visible.Mangalore does need bad cleansing of hearts from hatred.
Jai Hind
