Akshara Dasoha workers demand action against ISKCON

July 12, 2011

Mangalore, July 12: The members of the Karnataka State Association staged a dharna in front of Zilla Panchayat here on Tuesday seeking the fulfillment of their various demands.

Led by the local leaders of the Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the protesters shouted slogans against the Government for handing over the scheme to organisations such as ISKCON, Adyama Chetana and various religious maths. The protesters said they would continue the strike till their demands are met.

Speaking on the occasion, CITU leader Sunil Kumar Bajal said that ever since the Government has handed over the supply of food under the Akshara Dasoha scheme to the Iskcon, thousands of women have been rendered jobless.

He also demanded the government to take legal action against Iskcon for its 'corruption'.

No guidelines from Karnataka govt to bring back people stranded in state border: HDK slams BSY

News Network

May 10,2020

Bengaluru, May 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday accused the state government of not preparing proper guidelines to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border areas.

"No proper guidelines have been given to officials to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border. From the last 45 days, many of these people have not got any relief nor are there any proper directions or guidelines from the state government," alleged Kumaraswamy.

He also accused the state government of cheating the people of Karnataka.

"Karnataka government is cheating people the same way it cheated with the flood compensation. The state government had announced lakhs of rupees as compensation to those who lost houses in the flood last year. But nobody has got the records or details as to how many people got benefited from it," he added.
Fifty-three more COVID-19 cases were reported in Karnataka on Sunday, the state government said.

The total number of cases in the state is at 847, including 405 discharged and 31 deaths so far, the bulletin said.
