Mangaluru, Mar 14, 2023: Former MLA Mohiuddin Bava has said that a protest would be held on March 17 under his leadership with regard to the repeated fire incidents at Pachanady dumping yard.
Speaking to reporters on March 14, Tuesday, he said the fire incidents were affecting the locals leading to health issues. He said there was need to shift the garbage regularly and also there should be arrangements to sprinkle water on the wastes to prevent the fire mishaps.
The fire in the dumping site is a serious matter, he said and questioned why no permanent solution has been found. He urged the Mayor and Deputy Commissioner to address the issue.
On BJP leader Eshwarappa’s comments on Azaan and that it disturbs students preparing for exams, Bava questioned the BJP public events which go on for hours and asked if these programmes do not disturb students. He also asked Eshwarappa to remember that the Prime Minister stopped his speech midway to respect Azaan.
On MLA Dr Bharath Shetty’s allegation that he had stepped on temple prasadam, Bava said he was ready to take a vow at a mosque that he had done no wrong and challenged the MLA to do so at Dharmasthala.
