Speaking at a function in the city on Monday, Union Minister for Surface Transport, Highways and Shipping Nitin Gadkari, assured to fulfil the demand of Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel to declare three prominent roads in the district as national highways.

Mr Kateel had urged the union minister to take necessary steps to announce (1) Karkala-Moodbidri-BC Road; (2) BC Road-Kaikamba-Kateel-Mulki road and (3) Thokkottu-Mudipu-Melkar road as new National Highways in the district.

Mr Gadkari said that he gave in-principal approval for all three projects. He said that the 44-km long stretch from Karkala to Moodbidri to BC Road will be developed at a cost of Rs 220 crore, 51-km long BC Road-Kaikamba-Kateel-Mulki road will be developed at a cost of Rs 255 crore. The 28-km long four-laning of Thokkottu-Mudipu-Melkar stretch will be taken up at a cost of Rs 280 crore.

The Thokkottu-Melkar road in fact connects the national highways 17 and 48 via Mangalore University. Mangalore University, Yenepoya University, with its medical and dental colleges, Nitte University, with its medical and dental colleges, and Fr. Muller's Homoeopathy Medical College, P.A. College of Engineering and other educational institutions are located on this road.

Clarifying that there was no shortage of funds for the development of roads, Mr Gadkari said that there was a lack of vision and commitment on part of officials.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Unfortunately Hitler brother is our HM who is deaf, dumb and blind.   He has shit in his brain.   He is unfit to be called as human being.  He is thinking that he has no death.   I am sure that he will meet a miserable end.
