moralManaluru, Apr 23: Repeated incidents of immoral policing are a major hurdle in the growth of tourism sector in Dakshina Kannada district, according to Deputy Commissioner AB Ibrahim.

He was delivering a lecture on Local governance and sustainable development of Dakshina Kannada' at the National Institute of Technology – Karnataka (NIT-K) at Surathkal on Friday.

Calling upon the people in Dakshina Kannada to change their attitude and mindset, Mr Ibrahim said that said that groups and individuals who indulged in “immoral policing” in the district should be taken head on.

“If men and women from different religions cannot move together leisurely in the city and at beaches and tourist places, then how can we promote tourism here,” asked the DC.

Mr. Ibrahim said that major industries were suited for tier-II cities as software companies focus on metropolitan cities. But in tier-II cities, major industries face opposition from people in matters related to environmental issues.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
