4,300 trees for a cleaner, greener coast
Mangaluru: Driven by public spirit and deep love for the environment, environmentalist Jeet Milan leads a massive afforestation effort on Mangaluru's road dividers. In a remarkable display of public spirit and environmental commitment, Mangaluru-based green crusader Jeet Milan has undertaken the planting of 4,300 Ratnagandhi saplings along major road dividers in the city. The initiative, launched in conjunction with World Environment Day, is aimed at both beautifying the coastal city and improving its ecological health. As the founder of Vanaa Charitable Trust, Jeet Milan has long been involved in a variety of green projects in and around Mangaluru. His initiatives include tree planting, waste management drives, and awareness programmes that draw community participation. His latest project—planting vibrant Caesalpinia pulcherrima (commonly known as Ratnagandhi or Peacock Flower)—has become a talking point across the region. 'From Kankanady to Nandigudda, Maroli to Morgans Gate, and Maroli to Mangaladevi, we have planted 4,300 Ratnagandhi saplings along the medians. This project was fully funded by the Vanaa Charitable Trust, with 3,000 saplings sponsored by the Trust and another 1,300 supported by CFL,' said Jeet Milan. The planting activity was carried out over four days with active participation from volunteers and well-wishers. These specially chosen plants are not just ornamental. Known for their nitrogen-fixing ability, they enrich soil quality and reduce air pollution. Their brightly coloured blossoms—ranging from yellow and red to orange—also attract pollinators like birds, butterflies, and bees, enhancing local biodiversity. Moreover, the Ratnagandhi plant is hardy and drought-tolerant, requiring minimal maintenance—ideal for urban spaces like road dividers. Beyond this project, Jeet Milan and his team have been consistently greening Mangaluru and its surrounding areas. Their activities include organising composting workshops, reducing plastic waste through awareness campaigns, and introducing environmental education in schools and colleges. By engaging with the community and involving local residents in plant protection, Jeet has helped foster a culture of environmental stewardship in the city. Botanically known as Caesalpinia pulcherrima, the Ratnagandhi or Peacock Flower is admired for its resilience, pest-repelling qualities, and colourful blooms. As Mangaluru gradually transforms under the shade of these green efforts, Jeet Milan's vision stands out as a shining example of citizen-led environmental transformation.

Stating that Dakshina Kannada district had reported 43 dengue cases till May this year, H.R. Thimmaiah, the District Health and Family Welfare Officer, on Tuesday, cautioned people against self-medication to treat the fever. Addressing the media, the DHO said that people should consult a doctor or visit the nearest government healthcare facility if they develop symptoms such as a sudden onset of high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, and a rash. Seasonal scare Number of dengue cases reported in Dakshina Kannada distict Taluks & MCC 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 (till May) MCC 85 185 379 235 8 Mangaluru 64 60 94 106 13 Bantwal 63 39 61 115 5 Puttur 32 7 5 24 5 Sullia 27 (one death) 15 4 11 2 Belthangady 24 82 23 43 10 Total 295 388 566 534 43 *MCC – Mangaluru City Corporation *Mangaluru taluk also covers Ullal, Moodbidri, Mulky areas Source: Department of Health and Family Welfare, Dakshina Kannada Going for self medication might lead to multiple health complications, he cautioned. Household Survey The DHO said that henceforth, the department will survey 50 households for every case of common fever reported in an area. Households surrounding a fever patient will be surveyed to determine if there are additional fever cases in the area, including those of dengue. It will help contain the spread of the fever. Dr. Thimmaiah said that more dengue cases are being reported from Belthangady, Puttur and Sullia taluks. Farmers should ensure that coconut shells and plastic cups used to collect latex during tapping in rubber plantations do not hold stagnant water. They should also ensure that fallen leaves of arecanut palms in the plantations don't harbour stagnant rainwater, he said. The DHO said that Aedes mosquito breeds in stagnant water found in flower pots, drums, buckets, and rubber tyres. People should empty them at least once a week by observing a dry day. Dengue fever spreads when infected Aedes mosquitoes bite people during the daytime. Hence, those who take rest during the daytime will have to use mosquito repellent and cover their bodies with proper clothing, he said. He stressed the role of the public in containing the spread of dengue and asked people, especially those in multi-storeyed buildings, not to allow mosquito breeding in their areas. The doctor said a dengue patient will have to consume adequate liquid food and take rest.
