Delay in Pumpwell-Thokkottu NH work: Resignation of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel sought
District Youth JD(S) stages protest
Mangaluru, July 19: The district youth JD(S) urged Lok Sabha Member Nalin Kumar Kateel to resign from his post holding moral responsibility for the delay in completing the Pumpwell-Thokkottu national highway over-bridge work.
The JDS workers staged a protest at the Pumpwell Circle here on Thursday against the delay in completing the work.
Addressing the agitators, Akshith Suvarna of district Youth JDS said that the MP has been giving false assurance to the people without doing anything and thus cheating the people. Though the work was being carried out for the last 7-8 years, it was not yet completed. It has caused accidents and deaths of precious lives. So, this time, he should be rejected as he was responsible for the delay in completing the over bridge work. But the MP has been passing the buck on officers and the construction company, he alleged.
The agitators shouted against the central government, national authority of India and the MP.
Dakshina Kannada district JDS president Muhammad Kunhi Vittla, state organizing secretary Faisal Rehman, youth general secretaries Madhusudhan Gowda and Srinath Rai, party district secretary Ram Ganesh, state leader Gopalkrishna Attavara, district Sumathi Hegde, Ramesh N, Sushil Narhona, Rathnakar Suvarna, Lathief, Muhammad Razaq, Rathish Karkera, Likhit Raj, Muhammad Asif, Hitesh Rai, Bharat Hegde, Kishore Shetty, Sharief Puttur, Satyanarayan, Kaleel, Kalandar, Musafar, Anish, Koushik, Abdul Aziz and others participated.

Rajpal Yadav apologises for Diwali video after backlash, deletes post
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav recently found himself in a controversy following a video he shared on Diwali. In the video, Yadav urged people not to burst firecrackers, citing concerns over noise and air pollution, as well as the distress caused to animals. However, this message sparked backlash on social media, where users criticised him, citing his past endorsement of non-vegetarian brands. Following the criticism, Yadav deleted the video and issued a public apology in a new post, expressing regret for any offence caused.
In his apology, Yadav wished everyone a happy Diwali and said, "Two days ago, I shared a video on my social media, which I have now deleted. I sincerely apologise if it hurt anyone's feelings. Celebrate Diwali joyfully, stay healthy, and be happy."
After Yadav’s apology, several people expressed disappointment, questioning whether environmental awareness is being unfairly targeted. Some users remarked on the trend of trolling those promoting environmental responsibility, while others criticised Yadav's decision to apologise, calling it an unwarranted concession to trolls. Noted journalist Dr. Mukesh Kumar commented on the situation, stating that Yadav should have stood by his message. Kumar argued that voices promoting positive change should not be silenced by what he termed as the influence of "uneducated masses manipulated by political agendas."
Amid the controversy, Rajpal Yadav returns to the big screen as Chhote Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. In an interview, Yadav mentioned that he would be portraying the character in a fresh style, adding a new dimension to the familiar role.
Rajpal Yadav's case clearly shows the condition of many Indian's today

इतनी जल्दी सरेंडर नहीं करना चाहिए था राजपाल जी। आपको अपने काम पर, अपने उद्देश्य पर यक़ीन होना चाहिए और उस पर डटे रहना चाहिए।

इस समय असभ्य, आशालीन और उपद्रवकारी लोगों की बाढ़ आई है। ये इतने बुद्धिहीन हैं कि आपके इतने महत्वपूर्ण संदेश को समझ ही नहीं पाए होंगे।
