Mass molestation

Revellers had gathered at MG Road and Brigade Road at 11 pm to welcome the new year but what these areas witnessed were mass molestation, shameful comments and what not.

The men were too many, and too unruly, according the Bangalore Mirror report.

Drunk hooligans

None of these arrangements made by Bengaluru Police were of any help to the women who became easy targets of drunk hooligans and unruly men.

According to an eyewitness, two women were accosted by a group of youth on MG Road.

Women cried for help

During crowd control exercise, many young women, some of them weeping, started to run towards women police officers, an eyewitness said.

Women who were caught in an unruly mob didn't have the protection of a helpful male friend or relative sought refuge with women cops on MG Road, another eyewitness added.

Bengaluru police had initially claimed to take all precautions to ensure an 'incident-free' New Year but these incidents made Bengaluru's head hang in shame.

The girls are main cause for this disturbance. It is shame that these girls went to enjoy and there is no fault of the boys. They girls are half naked and inviting. Gilrls should keep their modesty and not roam on the roads in the night with half naked dresses. These girls actually went to enjoy with whoever she can. Nonde will disturb them if they dress in decent manner and keep away from such areas. there is mistake of boys also, but 50 percent fault is of these girls. I think this will be a good lesson for them and they will take care in the future. They will learn only while such issue occurs. I dont feel sorry for this. However, the culprits should be punished and girls should be given warning by Police to dress in a nmodest way and be away from such places at nights. this is a lesson for the parents also who have let free their daughters to enjoy in the night time. May be their parents enjoying with others and have no time to look after their grown up kids. Shame on every one.

Mysuru, May 19: Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday announced the results of garbage free-star rating for Indian cities.

He said that Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh, Rajkot in Gujarat, Mysuru in Karnataka, Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra have got a five-star rating.

Puri extended the wishes to the cities who got a five-star rating and said it came at a time when the entire world, including India, are reeling under the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

"It was the intention of my senior colleagues and others to declare the result of star rating of garbage-free cities much earlier but we decided to postpone because we wanted at least some degree of opening to take place and we thought the timing is correct," Puri said.

The minister said that of all the flagship programmes Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced, Swachta Mission is the most important programme for him.

"I have often shared with you my assessment that of all the flagship programmes that the Prime Minister had announced after the 2014 election results. But my personal view, a view I have had a citizen and certainly a view that is fortified by my experience as Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, that the Swachta Mission by far is the most important programme of all the missions," Puri said
