Mangaluru, Apr 27: In spite of the increase in the number of cases of murders, murder bids and communal clashes under its jurisdiction, the Ullal police station remained headless for over four months now.

Inspector Savitra Teja was abruptly shunted out of Ullal station four months ago for unknown reasons. Even though the inspector of Panambur police station is currently in-charge of the Ullal police station, it is yet to get a full-time station house officer.

Several communally sensitive and crime prone-areas such as Ullal, Thokkottu, Mogaveerapatna fall under the limits of this police station.

There are two sub-inspectors in the station — one each for law and order, and crime. But, in their absence, routine functions of the police station get hampered. From public point of view, the number of unsolved crimes is piling up.

Replying to the queries of media persons at a press conference on Wednesday in his office, Mangaluru City Police Commissioner M Chadra Sekhar, said that he was not in a position to answer why the station remained headless for a long time.

He, however, said that a proposal had already been sent to the state government for the filling of the vacant posts in different police stations under his commissionerate.

Meanwhile, in the wake of recent stabbing incidents under the Ullal police station limits, additional forces, including 10 KSRP platoons, 5 ASPs, 8 inspectors, 6 SIs, 10 ASIs and 260 police personnel, have been temporarily deployed in the area.

Ironically, Ullal is the hometown of UT Khader, the Mangaluru MLA and Minister for Health and Family Welfare.

My friend Subbu Kotian says aggression in Muslims, aggression not in the entire Islam it is indeed in Hinduism that is why everyday number of suicide cases, murders of own people and fights in the influence of alcohol find in Hinduism. so if you study Islam you will know how great community is this, those who attracted they join Islam without any second thought now the days there are lot of incidents of joining Islam, people more and more attract Islam because there is a difference between create ad creator.

Subbu Kottia, It is fact that ullal is strong base of Congress. So Sanghis tries to get back the seat by creating the tension atmosphere in the region.

It is better you to leave the place. If such of your mentality people vacated, then the region will be most safe.

Wherever there is majority of Muslim population there is communalism. this is neither exaggeration nor generalization. The reason for this is that the number of uneducated is more among Muslims. If the district administration takes necessary steps to shift at least 5,000 Muslims from Ullal to regions like Bayalu Seeme this place will be peaceful.

Kotian, Khader is a good person and a minister...these criminals more or less trying to create problems for him rather Muslims....

Ullala problem is not a new for us....this has been going on for long period of time....people don't know how to live peacefully...and no brain and common sense at all....this is the out come of it....

What benefit govt is giving us so that we can transfer the same goodness to our workers? Or are the funds only to buy and sell MLA?
