Crime in Mangalore, India

HOld on..!!..I am goin to soon settle in a amzing city of Mangalore..!!!

I agree fully with Anonymous. Daijiworld is a garbage newspaper run by coolie NRIs from the Gulf countries, and the commenters in Daijiworld are uneducated unskilled NRI labourers in the Middle East. The entire Indian Media is trash. The OCI, NRI communities and the Media of India is the worst I have ever seen in my life.

Myself a Malayalee from Kochi. I have stayed in Mangalore for 6 years. My Dad was a railways employee and I had the privilege of staying in more than 20 cities across India. I absolutely loved my stay in Mangalore very much, and would certainly yearn and crave to visit that place again. Mangalore is a very safe, beautiful and clean place.
I am very certain and vouch that communal disharmony and moral policing never happen in Mangalore. These incidents are the false portrayals by the awful Indian media and their master politicians. It is sad that due to politics, Malayalis, we Keralites are shown in poor light.
I can say for sure that Mangalore is the most similar place to Kerala outside the state. Mangalore has more similarities with Kozhikode than with any other place in Karnataka, with the exception of Udupi. Tulu and Malayalam have the same script. There are thousands of Malayalis living in Mangalore and it is our 2nd home.
I have visited Karnataka cities too, and Mangalore was easily my favourite. I have plenty of Kerala friends in Mangalore. Every week I used to travel between Mangalore to Kochi by trains.

All the Indian politicians have always neglected Mangalore and are continuing to do so.
My sincere advice to Mangalore people is "Please never vote for any politician. Never trust the Indian media".

Mangalore can never be a peaceful area because of its border with Kerala. The Muzzie population is increasing in North Kerala. Kasargod is famous for what we all know and next dist Kannur is Communist stronghold. These people spill over to Mangalore for their needs. You cannot catch criminals easily here because of the support system.As such Kerala will be next Kashmir with so many Communist and secular Hindus. The danger of these two threats spilling over to Mangalore remains quite large. They are constantly in the business of disrupting peace in Mangalore. Any development needs social stability. Unfortunately cross border districts are major hurdle in the peace of Mangalore.

Since Mangalore is Hindu dominated and Hindu communities are entrepreneurial in a pseudo secular Indian setup, the region is vilified as compared to liberal culturally bankrupt or a very Portuguese cultured Goa or a sham communist secular Kerala with higher crime rate and highly literate yet no employment status people who literally boast communist values and literacy rates with no good degree colleges yet come to Mangalore for everything and lecture Mangaloreans for safeguarding traditional Hindu culture. The Portuguese Inquisition of Goa and Moplah riots of Hindu massacre in Malabar Kerala are great secular events in Indian history whereas Mangaloreans wanting to stick to native culture is Hinduised Taliban.
Mangalore and don't need virtue signalling.

I fully agree with @Anonymous. Majority of the road accidents, rash driving and gold smuggling happening in Mangalore is due to the Muslims mostly from Kerala. I have seen many students from Kerala, especially Muslims drive/ride their vehicles very rashly. The local RTO is too liberal in changing the number plates of the vehicles. These Kerala Muslims have plenty of cash and they always get away after committing many road accidents, gold smuggling, etc. If you rent your house to these people, then these tenants usually won't close the gate at night, they keep the taps running non-stop throughout the night and obstruct the roads with their bulky vehicles. These people have zero discipline.
I am sorry for being honest, but I am mentioning the true facts. The police does not take any action against them because this community has plenty of money.

The comments of @Niranjan are very good. As far as Daijiworld is concerned, its target audience are the daily wage uneducated NRI workers from Mangaluru and Kerala that work as slaves in Gulf countries. Most of these NRIs (Daijiworld audience) from Kerala and Mangaluru work as floor cleaners, babysitters, dish washers, elevator operators, masons in Gulf countries. These uneducated people trust the crao fake news of Daijiworld without any disbelief. The irony is that the other media channels also spread the fake rumor stories created, incited and fabricated by Daijiworld. As @Niranjan has rightly said, the Indian media is disgusting.
Forgive me for being very honest, I don't sugarcoat information.

Glad to know that @Anonymous from Belgaum did not face any problem in Mangalore during his/her stay here for nearly 2 and half decades. Religious discrimination is extremely low in Mangalore compared to most other Indian cities and towns. I completely agree with the previous @Anonymous. And also, there are no slums in Mangalore. Or should I rephrase that the slum percentage in Mangalore is almost 0.5%.

It is simple to understand as to why Mangalore is always neglected by all the Indian politicians and the Media. It is because Mangalore city has a huge percentage of Muslims and Christians. Adding onto to Anonymous' comments, most of the development of Mangalore in the fields of retail, real estate, education and restaurants are done by Muslims and Christians. According to most Indians, any place in India having a large Muslim and Christian population is considered unclean and unlivable. The Indian government also believes this dogmatic nonsensical point. It is nothing but jealousy because India lags behind most Muslim and Christian countries in almost all development parameters.
They deviate a straight question by saying that Mangalore's growth pose environmental problems, but none of these environmentalists are concerned about the loss of millions of trees in the other parts of the country. I have travelled to the so called 'clean' and 'livable' places listed by the Indian government each year. Mangalore is miles ahead of them in terms of cleanliness, safety and livability. Any person can easily settle down by speaking only English or Hindi here in Mangalore. Yeah, God is watching the injustice and step-motherly treatment meted out to our city by the Indian politicians and their Media.

I find that Mangalore and Kerala people are very polite and nice. I am staying at Margao in Goa, and every Sunday I travel back and forth in train between Goa and Mangalore.

Mangalore is best city. airport to sea port. roadways to railways. Petroleum refineries to IT companies. Banks to education universities. Star hotels to branded showrooms. Malls to Tall skyscrapers. Temples, churches, mosque...all in one...only some people out of jealousy comment bad here..cant help...May bhagwan/Allah/Jesus give them good thoughts

The Indian media is garbage. All the politicians in India are trash. People are fools to elect these politicians and also watch and read nonsensical news.

It is unfortunate that Mangalore is not yet separated from Karnataka. Karnataka government is now run by Hindutva militants. I forgot to mention, the entire Indian government itself is run by Hindutva militants. Some people in Mangalore are foolish to think that these Hindutva militants will develop their city. For your information, VHP calls out Muslims and Christians as evil enemies of India. The RSS blatantly believes and practises the ideology of its founders

"In this land (India), Hindus are the owners, Parsis and Jews are guests, Muslims and Christians are dacoits".

This is the ideology and motives of the Indian government and Karnataka government. Like many others have mentioned in the Quality of Life page, the only hope for Mangalore is to merge with Kerala. Kerala is the only state in India at present, that treats all religions equally.
Kerala for more than thousands of years has welcomed all religions and treated them with care and respect, and it still continues to do so. See the history of Kochi and Kozhikode. There are reliable sources to prove all these facts. Don't read the rubbish of the IT cell posted in sites such as Twitter, Quora, YouTube and Facebook.
I say with certainty that Kerala is the best state in India at present. The border city Mangalore should be merged with Kerala as soon as possible. Mangalore will be absolutely safe in Kerala's hands.

I have lived in Mangaluru, Bengaluru, Mysuru and Dharwad. I can say with certainty that these rankings are fake.
Entire Karnataka state is a laboratory of Hindutva terror. They spew hatred against the 2 religious minorities. This is very common nowadays in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi-Dharwad and Belagavi.

Throughout Karnataka, most people don't follow rules and discipline. People overtake through a narrow gap from the left side of the road, they don't wear helmets and face masks. Vehicles emit toxic smoke and morons rule the roads and highways.

Mangaluru Smart City project is complete rubbish. Roads are dug foolishly and plenty of corruption exists in this nonsensical 'Smart City' project. Entire Karntaka and all its cities and towns are horrible places to live.

The comments mentioned below by #Karthik and #Usha are totally out of the world..They dont even know what they are talking about. They speak as if they have come from Devaloka heaven. One thing for sure. If u cannot live in a clean and prosperous city like Mangalore then you cannot live in any part of India.!

One of the things I don't like about Mangalore are the town private buses. I prefer calling this place a town, not a city.
These local private buses are run by gangsters. All the town private bus drivers are hooligans. In Mangalore the private buses are terribly outdated. They are not even of BS III standards!. Even towns like Hubli have got BRTS infrastructure, but Mangalore is stuck in stone-age, when it comes to bus transport.
First of all the roads in Mangalore town are very narrow. The private buses occupy atleast 9/10th of the widest roads! They also do not care if they collide with two-wheelers. All these private bus driver goons are above the law here. I find it absolutely scary and terrifying to ride a two-wheeler in Mangalore. It is all because of these town local private buses.
Moreover, all the private buses emit thick black smoke and are the main causes of air pollution in this town, along with chemical/petrochemical industries and trash burning. The officials are scared to take any action against these private bus owners and drivers.
The Karnataka government also does not want to improve the bus infrastructure in this town. Karnataka government is only concerned about Bangalore and Hubli.
Needless to say again, Karnataka government is the worst and the most corrupt government in India. They have deliberately ignored Mangalore. It is not just MP and MLA, the entire Karnataka government itself is pathetic and biased. All the Karnataka politicians (present and past) should be impeached.

This is my opinion. Read only if you are not offended.
I would like to point out that Kerala is a better state in terms of governance. The RSS is always spreading hate about 2 religions. The entire Karnataka is purely an RSS controlled state.
Karnataka is the puppet of RSS and Sangh Parivar in South India.

RSS has hatred towards those 2 religions, both of which are abundant in Mangalore.
With the large scale migration of Malayalees to Mangalore, the sense of togetherness with Kerala has become stronger.
With the exception of language and political affiliation, Mangalore and Kerala are exactly the same - both historically and even in the present. There is absolutely no difference between Kerala and Mangalore.
If the capital of Kerala is shifted from that remote corner Thiruvananthapuram to a centrally located Thrissur for example, then there is a high chance of Mangalore merging with Kerala.
In terms of geography, culture, language and way of living, Mangalore is purely an odd-man-out in Karnataka. All Karnataka cities (Bangalore, Mysore, Hubli-Dharwad, Belgaum) have an elevation of well over 700 m. Mangalore is at sea level. The connectivity between Mangalore and Kerala is far better than with any other city in Karnataka. During the monsoon, both the road and rail connectivity totally shuts down between Karnataka cities and Mangalore. However, the road and rail connectivity between Kerala and Mangalore is seamless throughout the year, without any disruptions.

I suggest people to rethink their mindset about Indian states. State borders are mere imaginary lines drawn on a map. A citizen of India is free to travel and permanently settle in any part of the country.
But now during the Covid-19 crisis, politicians have sealed all the state borders. This is a very bad decision.
The closing of all the state borders including those of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, AP, Maharashtra and all other Indian states contradicts the core principle of ONE INDIA.
I firmly believe that India does not require state borders and district borders. The issues faced by other states and districts are the problems of the entire country, not just the individual state or district.
I suggest all the politicians of this country, not to divide people for getting votes. We are humans first.

Forget about what the media has to say. Mangalore is a very safe city to live.
The Indian Media is complete rubbish.
I have walked alone on the streets many times at night in this city.
Mangalore is very safe for women. But people lack civic sense everywhere in India, not just Mangalore.

Are these ratings some kind of a joke?
Some people in Mangalore have ZERO civic sense. Near my house, during "Bhuta Kola" activities, people play songs on lousdpeakers 24x7 for an entire week every year. They are so loud that houses even half a kilometre away from this place, suffer badly 24x7 from this extreme noise pollution.
Add to this, loud firecrackers are relentlessly bursted all through the night. How can the people in the neighbourhood even sleep?
Do these few Mangalorean morons realize that people are suffering badly due to their activities?
Is there any way to stop this? No chance I believe.
The Mangalore police are highly biased, most corrupt and totally useless. They too support these nonsensical people with ZERO civic sense. The entire police force of Mangalore are puppets of that XYZ political party, who are the culprits behind these activities.
A majority of the cream of Mangalore have migrated to other places. Now many unemployed youth are enjoying the remittances flowing from the Gulf and other cities. They can bribe the police and make the entire neighbourhood suffer because of their ZERO civic sense and shameful manners, especially during Bhuta Kola, Dasara and Diwali.

Another point I have to tell you is, Karnataka government assigns inexperienced police officials to Mangalore.
We have tolerated the politicians and media for 70 years. Now they are a bane to the society. They're of no use to us.
The world views India as highly unsafe and undeveloped place. Media enjoys in feeding the negative side to the world. And, no politician wants to develop and improve India's global image.

I am from Kannur, Kerala and I still feel that Mangalore is very safe to live. I travel everyday to Mangalore via train from Kannur. Crimes such as robbery, molestation, abuse and murder are very very rare in Mangalore.
The Media houses of both Karnataka and Kerala are controlled by crony uneducated politicians of Bangalore and Kochi.
I personally like Mangalore more than any other place/town/city in Kerala or Karnataka.

I am from Mysore.
Mangalore should soon build a new International airport around its vicinity. Mangalore is Karnataka's most developed city and fastest growing city, after Bangalore.

The extension of the runway in the existing Airport isn't possible due to it being a Tabletop airport. Hence the only other solution to cater to this major city is to soon build a new spacious International Airport. I think the PPP model will work well for the new International airport. Hence major International carriers will operate from Mangalore.

Oh, and contrary to what some of you might think, all the people from Mysore, its surrounding districts and the local people of Bangalore like Mangalore very much.

Even the humid climate of Mangalore is good for health because it mitigates coughs, common cold, arthritis, sinus, eye infection and dry skin diseases.

Right now, Mangalore is unofficially treated as Karnataka's 2nd administrative and financial capital by most politicians. I hope that Mangalore's 2 Railway Stations are brought into the South Western Railway (SWR) zone as soon as possible.

Yes, I too feel that all the people in Mangalore should not vote anymore.
Let the voter turnout in Mangalore be 0 henceforth.
The politicians are of absolutely no use to this place.
The contribution of the Government to Mangalore's development during the past 70 odd years is very meagre and almost negligible. All the elected past and present MLAs and MPs of that region are totally useless, and win elections by hurting the religious sentiments.

Mangalore has and will develop on its own through the Private Sector only.
I believe that its infrastructure such as existing Airport, a new spacious Airport (absolutely necessary), roads, transport, electricity, port, water supply, parks and beaches can be taken care by Private Firms.
I am also aware that the Mangalore-Udupi region people give utmost importance to Education. They are also very successful in Entrepreneurship. Unfortunately they migrate to other cities, instead of developing their own city.
To conclude, Mangalore's future lies in the hands of its own people and the Private sector. From now on, Mangalore needs to be totally independent from the Government and its activities.

I hope this website tolerates Freedom of Speech. What I'll be saying here are real facts.
As of December 20th & onwards, there is a complete Lockdown in Mangalore.
All Shops including medical stores are closed. Doctor clinics are shut down.
There is absolutely no internet available. Road transport is completely suspended.

Why is Karnataka destroying Mangalore and making it the only city to suffer?

I am right now staying at Manjeswaram in Kerala (20 km from Mangalore) and writing these comments.
Dictatorship in India is showing its true colour at the moment. The worst is yet to come.

I am warning all the politicians of Karnataka, Kerala and throughout India - Don't mess with religious sentiments of the people across the Mangalore region.
Both Karnataka and Kerala governments consider the Mangalore-Kasargod zone as a DUSTBIN and a DUMPING GROUND.

https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/%E2%80%98kasargod-not-dustbin-chuck-errant-police-officers%E2%80%99-kerala-hm-trolled-cops-transfer-37648

The "Bangalore only" Karnataka government and the "Travancore only" Kerala government have both completely destroyed Mangalore and Kasargod.
Absolutely no company wants to invest over here.
Now the Karnataka government is planning to steal all the water flowing around Mangalore and send it to Bangalore and Kolar.

The Bangalore based Karnataka politicians think that Mangalore people are worse than animals.

If at all, Mangalore has topped the Quality of Life in India in this website in all parameters, then it's only due to the Educated, Hard-working and highly Entrepreneurial people from this region. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Karnataka, Kerala or the India central government. But these 3 governments are hell-bent in treating Mangalore-Kasargod region people as slaves.

Mangalore-Udupi-Kasargod together should definitely and forcefully form a separate Tulu state, as soon as possible.

Hi, I am Jayanth from Bangarapet in Kolar district. I had studied in Mangaluru and am presently working in Bengaluru.
During my stay at Mangaluru, I found that the Mangaluru Kannada accent is the softest accent of Kannada. There are absolutely no cuss words, no swear words in the Mangaluru version of Kannada. It sounded very poetic to me. It's probably due to the polite nature of many people in Mangaluru. I feel Mangaluru city has some amount of European culture, and is similar to Kolar Gold Fields which is very close to Bangarapet. Mangaluru city is probably much more urbane and westernized in its outlook than Kolar Gold Fields or even the older Whitefield locality of Bengaluru. Whitefield and Kolar Gold Fields were the places where Anglo-Indians used to stay some decades ago.

But what I didn't like about Mangaluru was that the politeness of many of its residents were taken for granted. People are not fighting with the elected representatives to upgrade the infrastructure. Mangaluru is one of the very few places in Karnataka where Strikes get very poor response from the people. In Mangaluru, the city Private Buses are absolutely terrible and no MLA or MP wants to upgrade the public transportation facilities, or introduce Electric Buses or Metro Rail.
The highways and railways connecting Mangaluru to other Karnataka cities are also awful to say the least. National Highways are filled with dangerous potholes and no elected politician is keen on getting the national highways permanently repaired.
The railway connectivity, especially to Sakleshpur and Hassan is pathetic. The average speed of trains running from Mangaluru to Sakleshpur is just 20 to 25 km / hour !!! Preposterous, but a True fact !
The Airport is lacking any growth despite many people willing to move elsewhere, even abroad for work. The Airport Runway is too small and very deadly indeed. People simply cannot force or fight with their elected representatives - MLAs and MPs to upgrade the public transport facilities. Tiny flyover constructions are taking decades and are incomplete even to this day.
These are some of the classic examples of politeness, lack of assertiveness and their consequences.

First of all, get rid of those private buses. They are run by Mafia headed by Dilraj Alva.
These private buses cause a lot of air pollution and noise pollution.

The police, present MLAs and MP of Mangalore are cowards who cannot crackdown on the private bus mafia. All these private buses emit huge amount of hazardous smoke, honk a lot, are completely dented and don't have doors.
These private buses are a shame to Mangalore.
Also get rid of those petrochemical industries which are totally hazardous to the people, and of no use at all.
Instead, bring some software companies to Mangalore.
And please stop the merger of Corporation Bank. The current generation doesn't realize the hard work done by the older people from Mangalore.
Mangaloreans are fools who blindly vote for Chaiwala and his party.

I am a Malayali, and at present I am living in Mangalore.
I find Mangalore to be a very safe city. I have no problems whatsoever staying at this place. I find lots of Malayalees living in Mangalore nowadays, and it is very similar to my native state Kerala in plenty of aspects. The only difference I can think of is the Political alignment in the 2 places. People of all religions and ethnic groups live peacefully in Mangalore.

Coming to the Media, the Indian news agencies have mostly propagated fake and nonsensical stories about Mangalore. Having stayed here since 2005, I have NEVER witnessed any communal disturbance or any moral policing incident happening in Mangalore city till date. Mangalore people are the most soft spoken, kind-hearted and educated people you'll find in Karnataka. The Indian Media people are big-time liars and crooks. The Indian Media proclaims to be a pillar of democracy, but all the Indian Media reporters are pillars of corruption and junk.

I am quite certain and optimistic that Mangalore will definitely become an affluent, prosperous and developed city like Singapore or Dubai in the near future.

Mangalore has the worst police force in India. They only arrest innocent people, but never crackdown on Rogue politicians and the Great Indian Media. Mangalore City Corporation should give Nobel Prize to the Indian Media and the Police force for tarnishing the image of this city.
I hail from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh and have lived in Bangalore for some time, but I can clearly say that the local Mangalore people are very helpful and kind. I like Mangalore much more than Bhopal and Bangalore. I believe that Mangalore is the most progressive region in Karnataka, and Bangalore only developed with the help of Karnataka government and marketing strategies.
Mangalore is in-fact a very safe city, but the Karnataka government and Indian media are hell-bent in defaming and insulting this city. Though the city police force is very inefficient, I still feel that Mangalore is safer than most cities and towns in India.
