MLC Ivan D'Souza Advocates for Tulu Inclusion and Mangaluru High Court Bench
MLC Ivan D'Souza has urged Karnataka BJP MPs and Union Ministers to advocate for including Tulu in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, following the state government's recognition of Tulu as a second official language. The Karnataka High Court committee is expected to visit Mangaluru to consider establishing a bench there, supported by local leaders and the state government. The government plans to issue a notification on Tulu's official status and begin recruiting translators, while discussions continue on renaming Dakshina Kannada district as Mangaluru district.
