| Thanks Mr.J.R. Lobo few hopes and works can be anticipated soon. We feel ashamed when other State people ask us what is there in Mangalore we can visit. In fact nothing is there and even few historic centers are there they are ignored being roads and other facilities are dull. Please take initiatives to develop existing sight seeing places. wish you all the best. Mr. Alphi Abu Dhabi it is understood Rs.200 lac for Yatri Nivas may be typing error. You did not notice there ? Sultan Battery instead of Sultan Battheri. | |
