Mr Parkop told reporters last night that he was not arrested but only asked to provide a statement of his routine of the day.  He says that these allegations by rival candidates in the 11th hour are a bad practice, and not befitting of a leader. Mr. Parkop said that the money will be used to pay for his 800 plus scrutineers. NBC / PNG Today Next :  SP PNG Hunters team for Round 14 match against Wynnum-Manly Seagulls

Somewhere between Sirsi and Yellapur and surrounded by the dense forests of the Western Ghats, the Bedti river takes 3 turns and drops close to 660 feet in 2 steps to form the mighty Magod falls. The Magod falls view point is located on the opposite hill and this allows you to see the entire spectacle from different view points across different elevations.
