Mangalore : The members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike met Neeliath Chandran, station manager and demanded Kannada boards to be placed at Central Railway Station on November 8, Monday.
The vedike was led by Dakshina Kannada Karnataka Rakshana Vedike president Annayya Kulal and working president George P V.
The members said that, the Kannada boards must be placed for the conveniences of the state passengers, who find difficult to read Hindi and English. The members coined it as the injustice meted out to the people of Karnataka by the railway department.
They submitted the memorandum to the station manager and warned to hold strong protests in the coming days, and will take step to place Kannada board on their own if the authorities do not respond.
The vedike gave the deadline of 15 days of deadline to which station manager said that more time was required for the same. But the members argued that 15 days was more than enough.
They also demanded that all the railway contract works should be advertised in Kannada.
