Udupi, Aug 9: The South Karnataka unit of the Bajrang Dal has urged the police to prevent the increasing cases of thefts of cows and thefts of valuables in temples in Udupi district.

Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Sunil K.R., convener of the South Karnataka unit of Bajrang Dal, said that the number of cases of theft of cows had increased in Udupi district in the last few months. So too, the number of thefts in temples too had increased.

The Bajrang Dal would bring this matter to the notice of the police. If the police failed to take action, the Bajrang Dal would think of forming a committee, which would enrol its members to guard the temples.

So too, if the police failed to catch cow thieves, the Bajrang Dal might consider forming Gau-Raksha Dal in Udupi district as had been done in Dakshina Kannada. But a final decision with regard to the formation of the Gau-Raksha Dal had not yet been taken. It would be discussed at the meeting of the Bajrang Dal district unit, he said.

The Bajrang Dal would celebrate the Akhil Bharat Sankalp Dina on August 14, where it intended to explain to the youth and the Hindu community, the circumstances leading to the Independence of the country and the “atrocities committed on the Hindus during that period”. The Akhil Bharat Sankalp Dina would be celebrated at 48 places, from Byndoor to Kodagu, Mr. Sunil said.

Bajrang Dal leaders Surendra Koteshwar, Sudhir Nitte and Anil Udupi were present.

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
