Mangaluru, Sep 7, 2025: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will stage a dharna in front of the Mini Vidhana Soudha here on September 16, protesting the State government’s failure to resolve the shortage of laterite stones in Dakshina Kannada.

BJP to Stage Dharna Over Laterite Stone Shortage

BJP state secretary and Dakshina Kannada MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta said the protest will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. He alleged that restrictions imposed by the government have brought laterite stone extraction to a halt, leaving labourers and transporters in distress.

Chowta said that despite several meetings and assurances in the Assembly to relax the Department of Mines and Geology rules, no decision has been taken. “The government is misleading people with false promises. The BJP will hit the streets against this anti-labour and anti-people move,” he said in a statement.
