Tulunad Paksha to contest all seats in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada
Udupi: The newly formed Sasantra Tulunad Paksha has planned to field its candidates in all five Assembly constituencies in Udupi district and all eight Assembly constituencies in Dakshina Kannada district.
Addressing reporters here on Wednesday, Aikalbawa Chittaranjandas Shetty, president of the Udupi district unit of Sasantra Tulunad Paksha, said that the aim of the party was to protect and promote Tulu language, the culture and environment of Tulunadu. The party had already selected three candidates — Sudarshan Poojary for Udupi Assembly Constituency, Sumanth K. Poojary for Karkala Assembly Constituency, and Vidyashri Shetty for Puttur Assembly Constituency in Dakshina Kannada.
None of the national parties were interested in matters concerned with Tulunadu. The first blow to Tulunadu was struck when Kasaragod, which was part of Tulunadu, was given away to Kerala during the Re-organization of States.
Such was the pathetic state of affairs in Tulunadu, the youth of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts had to go to places, including Mumbai and Bengaluru, in search of jobs.
Shailesh R.J., president of Sasantra Tulunadu Paksha, Prashanth, Mushtaq, party leaders, were present.

Air hostess loses Rs 10 lakh to cyber fraudsters who threatened arrest for 'money laundering'
Thane (PTI): A 24-year-old air hostess from Thane district of Maharashtra fell prey to cyber fraud wherein she was forced to transfer around Rs 10 lakh to avoid "arrest" for "laundering money", an official said on Saturday.
The air hostess, who lives in Kalyan, received calls from unidentified phone numbers on November 23, 2024, who told her that a parcel sent by her had not reached its destination in Iran.
When the victim informed the caller that she had not dispatched any parcel, the caller told her on a video call that her name had figured in a money laundering case and threatened arrest, a police official said.
The caller then sent certain links on her mobile number and forced her to transfer Rs 9.93 lakh before hanging up.
The woman realised that she had been cheated and approached the police.
The police official said the phone number location showed "overseas". An FIR has been registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and the Information Technology Act.
No arrest has been made so far.
