Mangaluru: City police coordinated with Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy, introduced the Tulu Language Learning Program throughout the month for its personnel on Thursday.

Shashi Kumar told the media that Komisisisan had worked for more than a decade, and during recruitment, most of the personnel chosen came from other districts.
Senior officers also suggest that it is important for staff to know local languages, because it will help in collecting information and resolve crime.
Feedback from staff members also on similar lines.
The public also stated that they wanted police personnel to speak in Tulu.
Given all these factors, the a month’s Tulu learning workshop was launched.
