    Good to have an event in this wonderful place as it would be a much needed breather for the people of Mangalore and neighboring areas. Jobless people are going to keep saying negative stuff but the fact of the moment is have protocols for safety and enjoy the nature. Sasihithlu is one of the treasures of mangalore and should be well maintained which is surely ensured by people like Mr. Nithin Suvarna. The people of the area are so welcoming and people will surely have a wonderful time. All the best brother.
