Radhakrishna Shenoy, father of Anupama Shenoy, who runs a canteen at Uchila village in Udupi district, was philosophical about the transfer of his daughter, allegedly because of the high-handedness of Minister of State for Labour P.T. Parameshwar Naik.
He told The Hindu on Saturday that as a government servant and police officer, Ms. Shenoy had to go wherever she was transferred to by the Police Department. “But it is also sad that those who do their work sincerely should be treated in this manner,” he said.
“Anupama was a bright student and always wanted to be an officer. She has reached her position by the dint of her hard work,” he said.
Mr. Shenoy has been running the canteen in Uchila for the last 42 years.
