    Thanks a lot.
    Finally we have opened our eyes to develop Tourisim in Mangalore. This Port city is called " ENTRACE OF KARNATAKA". There is huge opportunity for Tourism in Mangalore, which is surrounded by Nethravati and Falguni river with EIGHT bridges connecting to the city at Kulur, Panemangalore and Ullal. If these river banks under the bridge are developed, this city will compete Singapore. Initially we have to form a "RING ROAD" with PARK around the city on the bank of these rivers. Initially Cruise Restaurants can be started under these EIGHT bridges with attractive lightings at night at these eight bridges to attract Tourists.

    Need of the hour is to build a motor-able bridge across Gurupura river from Sultan Battery to Thannirbavi, which will be very useful for locals and beach goers inside Mangaluru city.

    Mantri Sir, Priority for Mangaluru is not cruise restaurants at the moment instead completion of Pumpwell flyover, Nanthoor Circle traffic decongestion, improved roads and drainage system in the city and freeing the footpath from the encroachers all around city.

    "Who knows, probably we would have sat next to each other in Quality!!!"
    Honestly, during my vacation time I did enjoy one or two places through my friend circle in Mangalore. What is there in hiding? May be we were in the crowd. Quality too noisy and filled with cigarette smoke. Now I cannot think of that smoke hall with 500% carbon monoxide but the surrounding was soothing. Compensated!
    Thankfully, there were no culture or moral and BD's to protest, because they too were among the audience for sure.

    Excellent idea. This is not to encourage tourism but also a kind of recreation to the people of Mangalore. Hope this project will be patronized by all.

    Having lunch or dinner in a cruise restaurant gives a feeling of top of the world. It is only for tourists or the No. 2 money earners and children of rich fathers. We need not get excited, since people like you and me, who earn the money by our sweat and blood, do not have deep pockets.

    Demands are so many but Mangaluru is not like Mumbai.
    Here there are so many right wing organizations and our choices are very much restricted. Those days there were so many places in Kudla where cabaret shows used to use to be allowed.
    Now question of culture and morals.

    Nice to learn that the Government has sanctioned many crores for the development of Cruise Restaurants for the benefit of several dozens of Ocean Cruises that are visiting Mangalore port regularly.

    This is one way to also ensure that these Cruise Restaurants are of the best standards meeting the International tastes, where the Cruise tourists are very particular with their diets. The Cruise owners always caution their passengers to be very careful about their diets when they take the shore excursions. Water and food are two essential factors that the Cruise owners are very much concerned so that the cruise journeys are carried out smoothly without any kind of interruptions.
