    Thank you all for planting more trees. Throw mango seeds in vacant plots or along the road ways. Hallelujah.

    It is good to know that Mangalore and Udupi had it's first unseasonal rains. It was a temporary relief from the heat but next we don't know. Let it rain as much as possible but people have to use the water wisely so that it will last the whole year. My thanks to Spoorthi Ullal and Justin D'Silva of Daijiworld for photo shooting of wet roads, streets, and houses after the early morning showers.

    This type of sporadic rain due to incessant heat will take the temperature further higher, imagine the heat in April till mid June?

    Still no facility for rainwater management and borewell recharge.
    Why nobody is taking up this issue is out of our understanding.

    Mangalore gets enough rainfall that is sufficient for its needs.
    Because of our lack of awareness, Mismanagement, lethargy- people still are not getting 24/7 water.

    Dont jump the gun and blame the govt.
    Residents are rqually responsible for this.
