Name sake muslim candidates are bribed by anti social and antial religious party only to divide votes of Muslims and make gain to particular communaal party.  Shame on these muslim candidates.   they are stabbing their own people for the sake of position and money.  I think they have no fear of Almighty God.  Money and power is their God.  Shame on you.   You are supporting Iblees.   Why dont you join them and accept their belief.   Dont try to be MIr Qasim and Mir Jafar who betrayer Indians and collaborated swith British.  I request all the Votes not to cast a single vote to these Muslims candidates who are supporting communaal party.  MEP is a branch of BJP and nothing else.   MEP leader has close relation with BJP leaders.   BJP is forecasting her as a Goddess who is distributing cash to poors only to fool them.   She is spreading Fitna of Dajjal and we should be careful about it.

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.
