Chowta for stronger counter-terror steps, permanent NIA office in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada MP Captain Brijesh Chowta met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Wednesday to express gratitude for the Centre's decision to hand over the Suhas Shetty murder case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He described the move as a reflection of the government's commitment to justice and national security. Speaking on behalf of Shetty's family and the people of Dakshina Kannada, Chowta lauded the swift intervention by the Ministry of Home Affairs, calling it a reassurance to law-abiding citizens and a deterrent to extremist elements. Raising serious concerns about the coastal region's vulnerability to radicalisation, drug trafficking, and organised crime, Captain Chowta highlighted the increasing footprint of extremist networks and cited the recent MDMA drug seizure in Mangaluru—the largest in Karnataka's history—as an example of the threats confronting the district. He urged the Minister to consider establishing a permanent, fully equipped NIA office in Mangaluru for better intelligence coordination and rapid response capabilities. 'Dakshina Kannada is a sentinel of India's cultural and national identity. We must not allow violence, narcotics, or ideological subversion to destabilise the region,' Chowta said. He invoked the transformation of Gujarat under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in the early 2000s, expressing hope that a similar model of integrated security and governance could be replicated in Dakshina Kannada.

What is Pope Leo's favorite pizza? Hint: It was delivered from Chicago to Vatican
Pope Leo XIV got his favorite pizza, all the way from Chicago to the Vatican. The 69-year-old, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Prevost, before he became the first American Pope this April, got a special care package from fans, as he was riding through St Peter's Square in Rome on July 30. Pope Leo XIV was making his way through the crowd in the Vatican, when he saw a pizza sign and stopped in his tracks.(AP) The video shows the Pope riding in a vehicle, making his way through the crowd, when he sees a pizza sign and stops in his tracks. What is the Pope's favorite pizza? Seeing the sign of Aurelio's Pizza brought the Pope to a halt and Madeline Daley, the 22-year-old from Cincinnati, who made the trip to deliver the pizza spoke about her experience to NBC News. "When Pope Leo came around, he kept grabbing babies to bless them, but as soon as he saw the pizza, he had babies in his hand, but he's still saying, like, 'Get me that pizza, I want that pizza,' ' she said in a video interview. 'And seeing the logo made him light up, and his smile was from ear to ear and he was extremely excited about it,' she added.

Joe Aurelio, president and CEO of Aurelio's Pizza, meanwhile, told NBC News 'Pope Leo has been a lifetime Aurelio's fan and going to Aurelio's Pizza in Homewood, Ill., since the 1960s. So it's been part of his life and for him to recognize [the pizza] and actually stop there in the audience was amazing.' Daley's friends also told WGN-TV how they were a group of young Catholic influencers who made it their mission to get the Pope this pizza. Jayden Remias of Ohio and Jake Ochave of Virginia went to Chicago to pick it up. Aurelio's is an Illinois restaurant chain that specializes in thin crust varieties of Chicago-style pizzas. The chain has three corporate owned stores and 37 franchised locations in six states.
