A senior police officer said that security was tightened in Padil, where a clash took place Sunday night and other sensitive parts with the deployment of additional forces.

Farooq Darimi, a cleric of a mosque, and two more local youths—Sirajuddin and Fayaz— were attacked by alleged Bajrang Dal activists without any provocation on Sunday night. 

Vandalism

As the news began to spread, unknown miscreants pelted stones at a few houses and vehicles belonging to one particular community with an apparent intention to exacerbate the clash.

Prajwal alias Appu, a resident of Faisalnagar near Padil claimed that a group of men barged into his house and indulged in vandalism. In fact Appu was one of the miscreants who allegedly attacked the cleric and two Muslim youths. 

The intruders damaged the furniture and allegedly threatened an elderly woman who was present inside the home.

While fleeing the miscreants damaged an Alto car parked outside the house.

After sometimes, the miscreants damaged a motorbike belonging to one Deekshit parked near the house of Selvia. An Activa scooter parked nearby was also damaged by the same group.

Meanwhile, miscreants belonging to two communities allegedly pelted stones at each other and houses of innocents. Sleuths from Mangaluru rural police station resorted to mild baton charge to disperse the mob.

Until unless there is a strict law and no bail , this will not stop.
Please do not disturb peace lovers, punish whoever it is and do not give bail, no community supports this type of disturbances, please do not name any religion, just join to punish whoever the trouble makers.
And fight for the law and order to the long term imprisonment.

Benagluru, Feb 27: The sudden hike in bus fares by the state-run transport corporation has triggered a public outrage and protests by the opposition Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) in Karnataka.

Terming the hike as anti-people and inflationary, the Congress urged the ruling BJP to withdraw it forthwith and spare the commuters from the additional burden.

"KSRTC and its affiliates should not further burden the people when the cost of living has gone up and its bus service is used by the majority in the absence of trains in many regions of the state," said Ravi Gowda of the Congress.

In a surprise announcement on Tuesday night, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) and its two affiliates -- North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKSRTC )and North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKSRTC) -- increased bus fares by 12% with effect from Wednesday, drawing the ire of commuters and opposition parties alike.

Condemning the fare hike, JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy urged the KSRTC to roll back the revised fares and give relief to the common man reeling under price rise due to CGST, SGST and food inflation.

"The BJP government has deliberately increased the bus fare ahead of the state budget for 2020-21 fiscal on March 2, catching people unawares. Though student passes have been spared from the hike, regular passengers are forced to pay Rs 5-32 more instead of getting better efficiency, management and productivity," Kumaraswamy said in a statement in Bengaluru.

It's an additional burden on us, said Bengaluru resident K. Venkatesh, while adding,

"The 12 percent hike in bus fares by the KSRTC and its north-east and north-west affiliates from Wednesday will hit passengers hard and make commuting costly.”

"The fare hike will negate the state government's efforts to encourage public transport service and force passengers to travel on the train, which is cheaper, faster and safer," asserted Venugopal Gupta, a cloth merchant in the city.

Justifying the hike, KSRTC Managing Director Shivayogi Kalasad told media that the hike was inevitable due to the steady increase in diesel price, dearness allowance in staff salary and overall cost of operations.

"Since the last fare revision came in May 2014, the operational cost has gone up substantially due to Rs 11.27 per litre hike in diesel price, increase in DA to employees and repairing, maintenance and fleet management costs," Kalasad said.

The financial burden due to fuel price hike is Rs 261 crore, DA Rs 341 crore and operational cost Rs 601 crore per annum for KSRTC alone, he said.

"For the benefit of rural passengers, fares have been reduced to Rs 5 from Rs 7 for the first 3 km. There is no increase in fares for the first 12 km and up to first 6 km in express service," Kalasad added.
