Mangaluru, Apr 27: In spite of the increase in the number of cases of murders, murder bids and communal clashes under its jurisdiction, the Ullal police station remained headless for over four months now.

Inspector Savitra Teja was abruptly shunted out of Ullal station four months ago for unknown reasons. Even though the inspector of Panambur police station is currently in-charge of the Ullal police station, it is yet to get a full-time station house officer.

Several communally sensitive and crime prone-areas such as Ullal, Thokkottu, Mogaveerapatna fall under the limits of this police station.

There are two sub-inspectors in the station — one each for law and order, and crime. But, in their absence, routine functions of the police station get hampered. From public point of view, the number of unsolved crimes is piling up.

Replying to the queries of media persons at a press conference on Wednesday in his office, Mangaluru City Police Commissioner M Chadra Sekhar, said that he was not in a position to answer why the station remained headless for a long time.

He, however, said that a proposal had already been sent to the state government for the filling of the vacant posts in different police stations under his commissionerate.

Meanwhile, in the wake of recent stabbing incidents under the Ullal police station limits, additional forces, including 10 KSRP platoons, 5 ASPs, 8 inspectors, 6 SIs, 10 ASIs and 260 police personnel, have been temporarily deployed in the area.

Ironically, Ullal is the hometown of UT Khader, the Mangaluru MLA and Minister for Health and Family Welfare.

My friend Subbu Kotian says aggression in Muslims, aggression not in the entire Islam it is indeed in Hinduism that is why everyday number of suicide cases, murders of own people and fights in the influence of alcohol find in Hinduism. so if you study Islam you will know how great community is this, those who attracted they join Islam without any second thought now the days there are lot of incidents of joining Islam, people more and more attract Islam because there is a difference between create ad creator.

Subbu Kottia, It is fact that ullal is strong base of Congress. So Sanghis tries to get back the seat by creating the tension atmosphere in the region.

It is better you to leave the place. If such of your mentality people vacated, then the region will be most safe.

Wherever there is majority of Muslim population there is communalism. this is neither exaggeration nor generalization. The reason for this is that the number of uneducated is more among Muslims. If the district administration takes necessary steps to shift at least 5,000 Muslims from Ullal to regions like Bayalu Seeme this place will be peaceful.

New Delhi, Jun 4: The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought response from Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, on a plea challenging his election in 2019 from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency as a joint candidate of the Janata Dal Secular and the Congress.

A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde and Justices AS Bopanna and Hrishiksh Roy issued notice to the returned candidate from the high-profile constituency on an appeal challenging the Karnataka High Court's order by which an election petition against his win was dismissed.

In the proceedings held through video-conferencing, the top court issued notice and tagged the appeal filed by G Devarajegowda for hearing with other similar pending plea filed by the BJP candidate on the issue.

Mr Devarajegowda in the plea said that his election petition was dismissed by the High Court on "procedural irregularities". The plea said that Mr Prajwal had resorted to unfair and corrupt practices and his election should be set aside.

It said the High Court did not consider the fact that by dismissing the election petition, it was running a risk of having a representative in parliament who has not got the maximum number of valid votes.

The petitioner, an advocate by profession, sought a declaration of rival BJP candidate, A Manju, as the winner for having secured the maximum number of valid votes.

A separate appeal was earlier filed by Mr Manju against the High Court order and the top court had already issued notice to the retuned candidate on that.

Mr Manju had challenged the 2019 election of Mr Prajwal on the ground that there was allegedly non-disclosure of assets held by him in his election affidavit.

Mr Prajwal was declared winner with 6,76,606 votes. Mr Manju came first runner-up with 5,35,282 votes.

Bengaluru, May 26: After Yogi Adityanath said that no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday termed the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's move as "unconstitutional" and "against the right to freedom of movement."

"Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's move to restrict hiring people of Uttar Pradesh is unconstitutional and goes against the right to freedom of movement. Mr Yogi, please note that UP is not the private property of your govt. The people of Uttar Pradesh don't need your government's permission to work anywhere in India," Shivakumar tweeted.

"Mr Yogi doesn't understand the basic rules of governance in a democracy. Such actions lack common sense and will only make the people of Uttar Pradesh suffer more. When it's convenient for BJP, it's One Nation, when it's not, it's different states and different people. Heights of hypocrisy," he added.

Adityanath had on Monday said that the state government will provide social security and insurance to labourers and no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission.

"If any state wants manpower, they cannot take our people from the state without our permission as there were reports of misbehaviour with them in other states. We are taking full responsibility for labourers' social security. We will provide every kind of security to them including insurance. Wherever they will go, we will always stand by them," Yogi said.

The Chief Minister said that skill mapping is being done in Uttar Pradesh and a commission will be set up for labourers to ensure employment for them.

On Sunday, Adityanath had ordered the formation of a 'Migration Commission' for the purpose of providing the workers, who have returned to the state during the lockdown phase, with employment suited to their skills.
