‘Ivory Inn’ affordable luxury AC Dormitories inaugurated in Mangaluru’s Attavar
Mangaluru: Ivory Inn, a new luxury air-conditioned dormitory facility offering affordable accommodation, was inaugurated on Monday at Ivory Enclave in the Attavar area of the city. The event began with a dua by Mohammed Kunhi, Khateeb of Masjid-ul-Huda and manager of Shanti Prakashan, Mangaluru.
The facility aims to cater to students, professionals, and travellers seeking budget-friendly yet clean and well-maintained stays. It offers daily, weekly, and monthly plans, with features such as furnished beds, daily housekeeping, high-speed Wi-Fi, CCTV surveillance, lift access, essential kits, and car parking.
Speaking at the event, Vaslane ward corporator Naveen D’Souza said the venture meets the accommodation standards expected in a smart city like Mangaluru. He wished the owners success in their initiative.

'Rear-guard action': BJP over Mamata accepting sports minister's resignation after Messi event
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Tuesday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's accepting Aroop Biswas' resignation as the state sports minister is nothing but a "rear-guard action" to douse public anger over the mismanagement of football icon Lionel Messi's event last week.
BJP co-in-charge for West Bengal Amit Malviya alleged that this is also an "open confession" that the Messi event fiasco was not accidental but a government-manufactured disaster, borne out of the poor governance of Banerjee, her ministers and the state bureaucracy.
Banerjee on Tuesday accepted Biswas' resignation as the sports minister in the wake of the controversy over the mismanagement of football icon Messi's event last week, a senior leader of the ruling TMC said.
Biswas, who had written to the chief minister seeking to be relieved of his responsibilities as sports minister, will continue as a cabinet minister, retaining charge of the power department.

Reacting to the development, Malviya said in a post on X, "TMC Sports Minister Aroop Biswas resigns after the Messi fiasco and Mamata Banerjee accepts it in record time."
"Do not mistake this for accountability; this is nothing but a rear-guard action to douse public anger. anger! This is not 'Raj Dharma'," he added.
The BJP leader alleged that the incident was the outcome of "loot" of common people which is "so synonymous" with the TMC.
The incident was also the outcome of the "shameless VIP culture that TMC thrives on and deep-rooted cronyism promoted by Banerjee," he charged.
Malviya further alleged that Biswas' resignation exposes a "collective failure of Mamata Banerjee, her partisan bureaucracy, and her crony cabinet".
"This is a symbolic sacrifice, a political hoax, soon to be buried under layers of bureaucracy, with no justice, no accountability, and no remorse," the BJP leader said, adding, "No resignation will bring back the time lost, the money wasted, or the stolen chance for football lovers to witness Messi in Kolkata."
