Daijiworld Medi Network - Mangalore
Mangalore, Aug 31: Arise Mangalore, which came into existence to protest the attack on Morning Mist Home Stay on July 28 in Padil, has now re-christened itself as ArM (Arise Mangalore), and has announced that the group will submit a memorandum to state governor H R Bharadwaj urging him to intervene in the issue to give justice to the victims of the attack.
It is said that over 2,800 signatures have been collected by ArM, which will submit the same to the governor, and also request him to take measures to maintain peace and harmony in and around the coastal town of Mangalore.
Meanwhile, ArM filed a Public Interest Litigation (numbered WP 30477/2012) in the state high court on August 25 praying that the severest possible punishment be given to the perpetrators of this dastardly attack.
It also urges steps to be taken to ensure that such an incident does not occur again and that guidelines be laid down for the local visual media on how to cover events of this sort without outraging the modesty and privacy of the unfortunate victims.
Speaking to daijiworld, one of ArM member said, "The goal is simply to make Mangalore a better place to live in. ArM will be the platform from where programmes shall be launched to further this objective. Arm has no registered members, only believers in the goal."
