Reading out the resolutions passed in the sammelan, president of Dakshina Kannada Sahitya Parishat S. Pradeep Kumar Kalkura said that the State government should also declare Tulu as a language of the State.
The sammelan said that development projects in the district should not be taken up at the cost of environment.
The sammelan urged the government to construct a ranga mandir in Mangaluru at the earliest. The move to build the ranga mandir has not made any headway and the government should take it up on priority, the sammelan said.
