Mangalore: It is high time, the road leading to world famous Panambur beach gets and arch, a bus stop, and a wider road to traverse as industrial areas are closeby, and tourists swarm the area, like bees in a hive.

Students come here to swim and Mogaveeras to have a bath, those travelers who have never seen the seashore come to gaze at sunset on the sea, and luxury cruise vessels arrive with thousands of passengers here throughout the year.

14 cruisers are already booked, says NMPT chairman Tamiluvannan, beaming on the “Tourist-turn” Mangalore has secured in recent years, with its clean beaches, hoards of peacocks, snakes and dolphins in the sea, and good neat approach-roads.

When such an attraction drives tourists mad, we have sand sculptors, kite fliers Karavali dancers, and Kudroli magicians also around, to perform there on occasions.

Should we not guide the travelers from the NH 66 to the beach for food, and even to the new Mangalore port, for all its vista, Scenery and appeal? Now, who steps forward?
