9/12/2023 0 Comments Awaken city church![]() The entire vicinity looks so pathetic after spending so much money on beautification. Early in the morning, you could see homeless people making use of the water for their toilet needs, and they urinate/shit in that area. The water has become stagnant giving scope for mosquito breeding, and it is also filled with waste. Even the water fountain hardly works, or completely stops working. And the beautification has lasted only for a small time because if you look around the bottom of the Clock Tower, all the plants have DIED with no one to water them or maintain them. Not only a huge sum of money was spent on constructing the clock tower, but later more money was spent to beautify its surroundings with a water fountain and green landscaping. Look how useful this non-functioning water fountain benefits the less fortunate. Then he got out of the water, dried his body and hair, and once again did a few asanas. And when I tried to click a few pictures of his bathing spree, he was excited and gave some peculiar poses, including a few Yoga asanas, including Surya Namsaskara. What is the point of making the city look ‘smart’ this way? This project is one of the biggest blunders created by our former Mayor during her tenure.Ī couple of years ago, videos and pictures went viral on social media of homeless people washing clothes in the dirty water of the clock tower water fountain, and now yours truly witnessed a homeless man enjoying his bath in the same filthy water, and didn’t even care about anyone watching him. Only people with no common sense would come up with such a project. The same funds spent on this silly project could have been used to rectify the bunch of dilapidated/potholed roads which are the need of the hour. Why did our Mangaluru City Corporation officials, including the then MCC Mayor Mrs Kavitha Sanil, spend lakhs of tax-payers money to reconstruct a “Clock Tower” near Town Hall in the City, which was demolished two decades ago to make way for smooth flow of traffic?Īsk anyone with common sense, they would say the Clock Tower is nothing but a total waste of people’s money. The best part is that hardly anyone looks at this clock for time since everyone carries a mobile phone or has a wristwatch. Apart from the EXPENSIVE clock installed on the New Clock Tower in the City, which was launched in November 2019, it has already STOPPED working, at least 16 times – or maybe more. This is not a good sign for this ‘Smart Clock’ belonging to a developing ‘Smart City-Mangaluru.
