Bhamy V Shenoy, who runs an NGO called Mysore Grahakara Parishat, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rename Mangalore International Airport after Ullal Srinivas Mallya, who is widely hailed as the architect of modern Mangaluru.
Shenoy, who hails from Bantwal in Dakshina Kannada district, is the grandson of the elder brother of U Srinivas Mallya. In the letter, he has stated that Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has already approached the government in this regard.
“In one sense, a tall leader like U S Mallya does not need any institute to be named to honour him. He is recognised as an architect of former Dakshina Kannada.
“Such projects like Bajpe Airport, All India Radio station, Mangalore Port, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, railway line between Mangaluru and Bengaluru, remind the people of his contribution. By naming the airport after U S Mallya, we are not only honouring him, but also honour India’s civilizational value of remembering the good deeds of a person and showing our gratitude,” he said.
