Bhatkal, May 22: The Uttara Kannada police have arrested thirteen persons for waylaying a truck and stealing over two dozen cows from it after attacking the legal transporters at Murdeshwara in Bhatkal taluk.

The arrested have been identified as Janardhan, Nagaraj Nayak, Venkatesh, Kumar, Rama, Nagaraj Nayyar, Venkatesh, Bhaskar, Mahesh, Manjunath, Annappa, Shabhareesh, and Girish. All the accused are said to be activists of a saffron group.

Police also have recovered 24 of the 28 cows that had been taken away from the truck by the accused.

The attack took place last Sunday when 28 cows were being transported in the truck from a milk dairy in Gujarat’s Gir, to another in Kerala’s Thrissur. There were two drivers and two cleaners in the truck.

Police sources said that when the truck was passing through Murdeshwar on the National Highway 66 at 8 p.m, a group of miscreants waylaid it and hurled stones. The group pulled out the four persons from the truck and assaulted them.

Though the drivers said that they had permission for transporting the cows, the group did not bother to check the documents. Some persons in the group also reportedly thrashed a couple of policemen who came to the spot. Later, the group members lowered the cows from the truck and started taking them away.

Vinayak Patil, Superintendent of Police of Uttara Kannada said that the accused had been booked for dacoity and assault. He said that more people are likely to be arrested in the case.

These terrorists are not cow rakshaks but cow thiefs and cow bhakshaks.  This is their normal duty to steal cows and either sell them or eat the meat.   They should be treated as terrorists and put in jail for ever.   Its unfortunate that police are soft to these terrorists especially in Uttara kannada dist.    These terrorists regularly steal cows by stopping the carriers.   These terrorists took away the cows in the presence of police and police did not take any action unless pressure came from higher authorities.   New state Govt should be bold on these terrorits and teach good lesson so that none else should try to steal live stock.   They are jobless people and being hired + lured by sangh parivar.   They usual steal cows from the open area and gow shala and blame others.

Bengaluru,  Mar 26: The nationwide lockdown in the view of coronavirus outbreak has driven some people to the edge. In Karnataka, within less than 24 hours, two cases of people creating trouble for police personnel have come to light.

On Wednesday, a middle-aged man was shot in his leg by the police after he tried to assault two police constables of Sanjaynagar police station. The police constables were identified as Manjunatha and Basavararaju.
The accused reportedly breached the check post at Bhoopasandra. He and his friends were over-speeding and performing stunts on bikes. When the policemen tried to secure them after giving them a chase, they attacked the cops.

When they were taken into custody, one of them again tried to escape and hurled stones and bricks on the cops. In order to prevent further assault, the police then fired two rounds – one in the air and the second one on his left leg.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.

Mangaluru, July 18: The Dakshina Kannada district administration is likely to earmark a common burial ground in the wake of growing resistance from residents of various localities in Mangaluru against burial of Covid-19 victims in their vicinity.

Recently, following protests by residents on Bolar, the body of a Covid-19 victim remained in the ambulance for hours together. The residents refused to allow the victim to be laid to rest at a burial ground attached to a mosque. The victim, who had been a resident of Idya in Surathkal, was subsequently laid to rest after DC’s intervention.

In a bid to avoid such instances in the future, the district administration has identified a burial ground on the outskirts of Mangaluru. 

Former minister and incumbent Mangaluru MLA UT Khader said that he had discussed the problem at length with the officials of the Dakshina Kannada district administration, and had suggested they look for a relatively isolated space on the outskirts of Mangaluru city in order to avoid confrontation with the public.

“A parcel of land at Badaga Yekkuru, some 20km from the city has been identified as being suitable for the burial ground, but the district administration is yet to take a final decision,” Khader said.
