Summary:
However, move by the government itself to issue orders paring down dasara vacations shows its divisive policy, the MLA said. Devotees throng the temples in the district during this period including Sri Durgaparameshwari Temple at Kateel, Mahathobhar Sri Mangaladevi Temple and Sri Gokarnanateshwara Temple. Against the initial dasara vacations from October 7 to 21, department has pared down the vacations by a week and will now be taken from October 14 to 21. MANGALURU: Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, while asserting that dasara vacations in Dakshina Kannada should not be reduced for any reason, said the department of public instruction, which has done so, should have given discretion to school managements in this regard as well. The district administration incidentally had given nine days of holidays at the height of monsoon to ensure that lives of students were not put to risk..
