“The new cubs, born a week ago, have opened their eyes and are being nurtured by the mother tigress,” H. Jayaprakash Bhandary, director of the park, said.

“As the first two months for the newborn cubs are critical in terms of contracting infections, only the caretakers of the animal are allowed to monitor them. Visitors will be allowed once the cubs are vaccinated and fit to be exhibited,” he said.

Mr. Bhandary said that in the first two months, they would feed on mother's milk only and nothing else.

With the arrival of the young ones, the park now has 11 tigers, including eight adults. Of the adults, seven are male and one is a female.

Earlier in 2014, the same tigress had given birth to two cubs, Akshay and Manju, who are now grown up and healthy. They were adopted by Manoj Shetty, Saju Neliyar and Subbanna Shetty.

Netravathi gave birth to Krishna in 2011 which was adopted by the then Minister J. Krishna Palemar. Later it was given to Surat Zoo under an animal exchange programme. Mr. Bhandary said that animal lovers could adopt the four new cubs. If adopted, they would have the option of naming them.

The park would announce whether the new ones are male or female after two months. He said earlier those who have adopted various animals at the park have given up to Rs. 2 lakh per year. The park has not fixed any minimum amount for adopting animals. But a reasonable amount would have to be given.

Bengaluru, Jan 26: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel has been served with a court notice asking him to personally appear before the special court for people’s representatives on February 24, in connection with a defamation suit filed by Congress MLA Rizwan Arshad.

Rizwan had lodged the defamation suit against Kateel and state BJP social media chief after the party, in a tweet during the 2019 Lok Sabha election, alleged Rizwan’s involvement in the manufacture of fake voter identity cards.

Apart from Kateel, head of the party’s social media unit has also been asked to appear in person at the above court on February 24.

Newsroom, May 22: Countless netizens including Indians have hailed the action taken by Jazan University of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against a high-ranking Indian expatriate who had posted called Indian Muslims as radicals.  

Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook flooded with appreciation after the University announced on Twitter that the professor, who had posted objectionable messsages, had been fired. The university, however, did not disclose the name of the professor. 

On its Twitter account, Jazan University wrote, “Based on what was monitored by the university about the publication of a contracted faculty member for offensive posts and tweets, his registration has already been folded. #JazanUniversity affirms that it resolutely addresses any perverted or extremist ideas that affect the constants or violate the directions of good leadership.”

After the university’s announcement, many on Twitter posted screenshots of the communal tweets claiming that the professor is Neeraj Bedi and made it clear that the dismissed professor is an Indian.

Bedi has been working as full time Professor in Faculty of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in Jazan University for years.

In his Twitter account, which does not currently exist, he was praising PM Modi and spewing poison against Islam and holding Muslims responsible for the spread of Coronavirus. It is believed that the account was deleted after the protests became severe.
