Moodubelle, 25 June 2011: Parishioners of St. Lawrence Church Moodubelle conducted protest against Moodubelle Panchayath for their decision of illegal renewal of business licence to the shop at the land belonging to St. Lawrence Church. On Friday 24th June 2011 morning at 10.30 am more than 300 parishioners with a banner ‘Fight for Justice’ went on a protest march from the Church premises through the Moodubelle main road to the Panchayath premises in a procession shouting slogans against the Panchayath and gathered there.
The survey no. 200/1BP1 land RTC is in the name of St. Lawrence Church. The building on that land is under dispute and is in the court. Belle Panchayath had confirmed in their resolution dated 06.07.2010 that the business licence will not be renewed to the shop without the permission of the land owner St. Lawrence Church. The Belle Panchayath Development Officer has also confirmed on 21.03.2011 that the business licence will not be renewed, since the building issue is in the court. But on 23.06.2011 in the meeting held at Belle Panchayath it has been decided to renew the business licence to the shop keeper, which has been a violation and hence this protest is conducted.
The procession was led by Rev. Fr. Joswey Fernandes, Rev. Fr. Lancy Saldanha, Alfonse Alva – Vice President of Parish Pastoral Council, Jesintha D’Souza – Secretary of Parish Pastoral Council, Comodor Jerome Castelino, Henry Fernandes and Jerald Fernandes. After discussion with the Panchayath, Louis Lobo the President of the Udupi unit of the Association International Fedaration of Karnataka Christian Association (IKFCA) spoke and said that this business licence issue has taken place without the knowledge and consent of the Panchayath President. The matter should be discussed in their next meeting and action should be taken as per the law and until then no illegal activity should take place. On this issue we the leaders shall be meeting the Deputy Commissioner of the district today evening, he said.
On this regard when the reporter asked Fr. Joswey, he said that “we are hurt with the Belle Panchayath’s decision to issue the business licence to others on the land of St. Lawrence Church, which is injustice to us and we need justice”, he said. When the reporter asked Jesintha Aranha – President of Belle Panchayath, she said that, “I have not given any kind of consent for this issue. If the mistake has taken place on this issue it will be discussed in the next meeting and the right decision will be taken” she said. Then she appealed to the protesters to withdraw their protest.
Big thanks to Bellevision for their Good coverage and regular updates in www.bellevision.com. I want to make a point here. This website is very popular in abroad than Moodubelle. The opinions and comments will not make any difference to anyone who are really involved in this blunder. I have seen people in Belle are busy in their own life. I am a regular visitor of Bellevision and when I share the local news of Moodubelle itself, people over there, are not aware the happenings. Also noticed that the people in abroad are more concern about their back home and reading their comments it says how they love their hometown. I also have suggestion to some of our readers DON’T MAKE THIS OPINION COLUMN AS CHAT ROOM. LET US ALL RESPECT EACH OTHER AND THINK POSITIVE. Otherwise there is no difference between the local dirty politicians and us. Lets hope and Prey this mess get solve in soon in peace without hurting anybody’s sentiments. Good Luck God Bless you Fr. Joswi.
Hi Readers any conclusion from the second meeting, which was held? Mr. Hemphill has been vanished from this forum. Mr Hemphil has been disappered from this site !!!
Dear parishioners this episode should be a lesson for you .While your next vote let tired peoples sit at home and do houseworks and energitic team like last years team do the job. Those who can bring in benefits like roads and dams should take over and save belle.
Abraham V Fernandes, Moodubelle/Hyderabad - Good one! I liked you last comment. trust me i couldn t control my laugh, hahhaha........ am also expecting double century here. @ Akil, pls keep counting...
Hello readers where is the orignal issue ? anyupdate ? is there any meeting held in Belle Panchayath or in Church for solve this issue or just enjoying on comments ,comeon guys this our own land lets work together.
Dear Anner Moodubelle, Can you tell me which village Hemphil belongs to, i think you and Hemphil are the same.come up with positive opnion.
Jayson, Ajit: - why you bothered about HEMPHIL name? How can you say that Hemphil is a fake name? Do you any proof? I feel you guys want to chase him and do personal fight like Bajaranggi’s does? Such kadva hota hai! Guys fight against injustice not with personals. Jai ho¦...
Whats this? People are writting their comments between their self, one is pulling others leg. Hey guys write something about the issue not your personal problems .what you have with each other?
Hi to all... happy to see you all belle parishners fightng against innjustice. I like to wish you all the best. I read Mr. Sharon’s comment. I don’t know who he . After i read his comment i come to know that he is a politically uneducated guy. Please don’t blame Mr. Jerald Fernandes. This problem started from congress who ruling and also ruled belle panchayath from long time back. First thing dont mix the politics and church. Second thing is this problem is started from administrative staff of belle panchayath. So now fight againt injustice. Not against political party or any individual.
Where are all the political leaders from Belle ? come forward this is church related issue and do not mix politics with this. Join hands toghter and solve this issue .
This is nothing but former panchayat leader behind scene.The drama is only because they lost in the elections and now they taking revenge that’s it. Belle Parishioner please don’t mix church into politics. Please don’t make any protest this is not answer for this. Church committee members are there and let them decide and court is there. Fr.Joswey please don’t participate in these kind of protest, let the committee take care of that otherwise church will become commerial center.
Jayson, Moodubelle “ do you think people should comment on particular issue , subject only?? Anyway JOBA is asked only about particular complex report I feel this is the right time ,stage to execute which was out of sight till now.
Jayson, Moodubelle- It sounds like you have some problems with both guys OR your linked to that complex. Even JOBA is also asking something interesting which is not highlighted till now in Bellevision. Am also curious to know on that complex¦
Stanley - Keerthi Bar land??? Now is 100% sure that this is an internal setting by bar owner and Panchayat members. Most of the P. Members are big time Kudeis (drunker) and no doubt they have got enough of kallabatti (Alcohol) to sign this land papers. Can anyone please give all personals details of our Panchayath members / workers along with their designations? Since President is unaware of this case; I feel something is fishy happening around. God knows how many blunders they have done like wise already without anybody’s notice. Can someone write complaint to LOKAYUKTHA to Mr. Hebbar as well? Let’s see their opinions also!! This is a very good opportunity to find out whats happening in belle Panchayat. Dear Parishioners; please don’t let to go this opportunity instead make full use of it. And also please catch hold of each and every single member of Panchayath for this blunder and teach them a very good lesson, they should be terminated from their jobs immediately
From Top (Delhi-Congress) To the Midddle( Bangalore-BJP)and Bottom( Belle panchayat-Congress)Everybody is Corrupt.Top to bottom all are same.Comon guys lets do something on this issue.Where is our so called NRI S. Please raise your voice.Please raise your voice through this site so belle people can understand that they have some support from your side to fight corruption. Jai Hind............
Where is Mr. Noronha.why you are not send any notices? Are you there in Udupi or in Abroad!!
MR Shoron.. You are totaly wrong.. Don t go to divide belle parishioners unity.. This matter is applying to all belle parishioners.. While writing a comment use your common sense. your mind is behind politics..Please come out from political issues.. you are commenting against belle people (parishioner). Do not use any politician name because they are all our parishioner. Think about future.. FR Joswy done great job.. help him to fight against this evil..
I have seen some of our readers harsh comments ...I want to tell them that dont get into any conclusions till the issue is resolved...Some of our readers even though they doesnt know A B C D of it they just jump into conclusions...Boss this is politics...I can see some of the big BJP leaders in protests ,who in their term did what and all scams ...within 5 years of their term made assets of crores...before investigatng this issue which not at all signed by panchayat president ...just tell those guy to show their assets before 5years and aftr 5 years... This is just a publicity stunt from some of our so called great leaders to come into lime light after loosing ....anyways belle people are smart enough to know the things .... Anyone could have told that if it was pssed in panchayath....but because of one official mistake you cant show your fingers to president n other members..... And we all know Mrs.Jessy is very honest n sincere lady and other memebers are also very true leaders.. Our Popular BJP leader Mr.Jerald Fernandes stop fooling people ,now since you are not there in power you let belle grama pancahyath to do their development work ...People know your true colour..
Well Done Belle Parishioners.keep it up,Dear Panchayat Devolopment officer please do some devolop in belle,we are now in 2011 year but belle looks like 1978.dont spend your time doing nothing.and care for poor people as well.

Come on all parishioners and join hands together to fight against corruption and injustice. This fight should go on till we get the justice. Leaders please keep all your personal differences and politics aside and strive for unity and see the victory against the social evils. May our patron Saint Lawrence bless us all.
