Sir,
Greetings! I am a proud representative of feelings of Kannadigas of Kasaragod District. As you may know Kasaragod District is declared as linguistic minority Kannada area as recognized by Govt of Kerala. There are several Govt orders and Circulars to protect constitutional rights of linguistic minorities in Kerala. Recently Kasaragod District linguistic minority Commission headed by the District Collector has sent a Circular to ATO of KSRTC to exhibit destination boards in Kannada beside Malayalam in all KSRTC buses travelling inside the District. But many of the KSRTC buses INCLUDING RECENTLY INTRODUCED VOLVO AND MARCOPOLO BUSES BETWEEN MULLERIA-KASARAGOD (VIA KUMBLA) are not exhibiting destination boards in Kannada. Please strictly order depot manager of KSRTC Kasaragod to correct this anomaly and to protect interest of linguistic minority public. I believe you will understand the problems of a person who doesn't understand Malayalam. We Need justice. A sever protest can be expected from minorities and we will never give up till we get what we deserve.
