Ullala: Even after today’s protest if the related officers does not reduce the bus fare a huge protest will organised on January 7, said Santosh Kumar Rai Boliyar, member of district municipal. He was speaking in the protest rally held at Mudipu demanding to reduce the bus fare by Nagarika Kriya Samiti.

We had spoken to the bus owners about reducing the bus fare as soon as the diesel rate was cut. We even spoke to the officers of related departments. But there was no positive reply from the bus owners.

Speaking in the protest President of Nagarika Kriya Samiti, Rajaram Bhat said, although the salary of the driver and the conductor of the government bus is much higher than that of private bus staff, the ticket fare is high in private buses. The private bus owners are discriminating the people by charging more to the same distance that of government bus. The private bus staff is treating passengers as animals, which is a matter of concern he said.

 Kurnad municipal president Devdas Bhandary, President of Kurnad Shakti Kendra Navin Padalpady, BJP leader Asgar Ali, JDS leader Moidin, Siraj, Abdul Khader Rahiman were present.

The government is indulging in anti Hindu activities. The Hindu outfit workers who fight against terrorism, conversion and love jihad were booked under Goonda act. In Bengaluru rape case even though the victim girl had lodged case against the accused the inspector Rafiq refused to file the complaint.

Ullala: It is the duty of the elected people to respond to the problem of the voters. They should not think as they are kings. People also must not afraid of these leaders thinking we are the servants of the politicians and should fight for the fundamental rights by waylaying the politicians in the middle of the road said Muneer Katipalla, State President of DYFI.

He was speaking in the protest organized by DYFI Pawoor division against the irresponsibility of the administrators, lacking basic facilities, uncertain water supply and site for the poor. Politicians after getting votes from the people buy flats for themselves across the state and completely neglect the homeless poor people. Education, pure water, shelter are some of the democratic rights of the people. Our representatives have completely failed to provide these facilities to poor people.

People of Pawoor village are suffering from many problems including a good road from many years. Locals forced to drink salted water here. Politicians vanish soon after the election and they reappear only during the next election. Health minister is also paying no heed to the problem of this region. Rafiq Harekala, vice President of Ullala DYFI, Siraj, President of Pawoor DYFI, Secretary Chittaranjan Bhandaramane and many others were present.

“Villagers stroll to the village municipal since many years for their documents. But the officers are demanding Rs.10-15,000 from them. Representatives are reluctant on solving the problem of the locals.” Vishwanath Bangarupade, former President DYFI.
