dear vidhyadar, i think you should go for more analysis about all the parties. Please check all other parties about dynasty rules. Karnatak- Yediyurappa & son & Shoba, Devegowda & Sons, In punjab Badal & son etc. If you need more we can point out more. Each and every party have dynasty rulers. So why you point out only one party. If you are against dynasty rule point out all. If you are against corruption point out all. Vyapam scam, chiiki scam, karnatak mine scam, denotification scam, Food scam, punjab drug scam, DDA Scam, modi UK scam, kingfisher scam, external affairs humanitarian scam, corporate peanlty waiver scam etc

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.
