Mangaluru: Opposing the untimely transfer of Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy, Tuluvas have launched a Twitter campaign to exert pressure on the government to cancel his transfer.

Reddy was posted as Dakshina Kannada SP seven months ago. Within three months, he learnt Tulu, the local language of the district, to understand the pulse of the people and their grievances better.

As the news of Reddy’s transfer spread, Jai Tulunad, a local group, has launched a Twitter campaign to retain him in the district. Interestingly, Reddy is the first police officer in Dakshina Kannada on whom a section of the people have bestowed the ‘Singham’ title for his bravery in handling issues without succumbing to political pressure.
