Mangaluru, Dec 15: The Karnataka government has granted compensation of Rs 5 lakh each to families of two activists of Social Democratic Party of India and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh who were hacked to death by communal forces earlier this year in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

Mohammed Ashraf Kalai, a social activist and local leader of SDPI was murdered in broad daylight at Benjanapadavu on June 21. The police arrested seven miscreants in connection with the murder.

Sharath Madiwala, an RSS activist was stabbed by miscreants at his laundry shop in BC Road on July 4. Though Madiwala was immediately rushed to a hospital by a Muslim activist, the former breathed his last two days later. The police arrested 10 persons in this case

The two deaths had exacerbated communal tensions across Bantwal taluk. The district administration had clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code in the region for around two months.

The Home Department, in its orders on November 27 and December 11, respectively, has asked the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner to release Rs 5 lakh each to the families of Madiwala and Ashraf.

Releasing copies of the orders granting compensation at a press meet yesterday, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader said that the State government had taken action as per its commitment made to the victims’ families.

The orders said that the State government has fixed compensation to those who have lost lives or have suffered damage during communal trouble. The compensation was granted as per the recommendation made by the Deputy Commissioner on November 9, the orders said.

New Delhi, Jul 27: A month after banning 59 Chinese applications, the government of Indian has now reportedly banned 47 more apps of Chinese origin in the country. According to sources, the 47 banned Chinese apps were operating as clones of the earlier banned apps. 

The list of the 47 Chinese applications banned by the Indian government will be released soon.

India has also prepared a list of over 250 Chinese apps, including apps linked to Alibaba, that it will examine for any user privacy or national security violations, government sources said. The list also includes Tencent-backed gaming app PUBG.

Some top gaming Chinese applications are also expected to be banned in the new list that is being drawn up, sources said. The Chinese applications, that are being reviewed, have allegedly been sharing data with the Chinese agencies.

Today's decision follows after a high-profile ban of 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, as border tensions continued in Ladakh after a violent, fatal face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies. The government said these apps were engaged in activities that were prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity and defence of India.

A government press release announcing the ban stated: "The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it's power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

A day later, Google said it has removed all the banned applications from the Play Store. Following the ban, TikTok refuted the claims that suggest it will pursue legal action against the Indian government for banning the app in India.

Reacting to the 59 apps banned by India, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the country is "strongly concerned regarding the decision of the Indian government".

“China is strongly concerned, verifying the situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"We want to stress that the Chinese government always asks Chinese businesses to abide by international and local laws-regulations. The Indian government has a responsibility to uphold the legal rights of international investors including Chinese ones," Zhao Lijian said.
