The deceased have been identified as Holebasappa Shiraguppi (55), Yamanappa Hadapada (45), Ashok Sathappanavar (40) and Rudrappa Gurappanavar (55). Another person in the vehicle, Basavalingappa Shiraguppi survived the accident.

Sathappanvar was on his way to his wife's place (Yandigeri) along with his relative, Gurappanavar. He offered a drop to the other three, who were waiting for a bus in Anavala village. The car left the village by around 9 pm when it was raining heavily.

As the vehicle was crossing the stream near Anavala village, it was pushed around 100 metres away from the road by water gushing from the stream. The vehicle later got stuck between the pillars which were erected for building a bridge across the stream.

“As the car swerved, the door on my side opened. I came out, swam the stream and cried for help. People living nearby pulled me from the stream with the help of a rope,” said Basavalingappa Shiraguppi. The other four in the vehicle had died by then. The police conducted a search operation from 12 midnight to 3.30 am and traced the bodies. Kaladagi hobli received record rain on Tuesday night. It rained 272 mm in a single night, said tahsildar Vinay Kulkarni.

Tumakuru, Jan 8: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stoked controversy on Wednesday by stating that 'Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is full of traitors'.

He was addressing the media after taking part in a pro-CAA rally organised by National Citizens Forum near the office of the deputy commissioner of the district here.

Bhat said, “JNU is full of traitors. Congress and communist parties have been generating anti-nationals there. But there is no need to close the university down. Modi government will handle it.”

“Nationalism should be infused among the students there through love and trust. They should be made to realize what the truth is,” he said.

Unfortunate, still he has poor followers to believe him.

He is safe at home and sacrifiers are poor boys who blindly believe and obey him.

 

This guy is sick and irriversible.

God will reward him so that his followers believe his exploiting orders.

Davanagere, Jan 9: Residents of SVR colony of Channagiri Taluq here on Thursday built a temple in the memory of a male monkey, who died here 'unexpectedly'.

A group of monkeys entered the SVR colony around three months back. The monkeys have never disturbed anybody in the area and they used to play with children living in the colony.

Locals said that the monkeys are very obedient to them.

Unfortunately, one of the monkeys died suddenly on Wednesday, causing distress among people who were very fond of him.

Showing their love for the deceased monkey, locals performed his final rite according to Hindu tradition.

Later, the residents approached the president of the village Panchayat to allot funds to build a temple in the monkey's memory.

The construction of the temple has already begun in the area at the same place where the monkey's funeral was conducted.
