Madikeri, Sep 12: On the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, a group of cow vigilantes belonging to saffron outfits, shot at a a pickup vehicle transporting cattle, and brutally assaulted two persons at Kaggodlu near Madikeri in Kodagu district.

fireThe victims are vehicle driver Abdul Salam (40) and P A Basheer (35), residents of Kondangeri in Madikeri taluk. Salam has suffered serious head injuries and has been shifted to Mangaluru for treatment.

Suspecting that the vehicle was transporting two cows, the miscreants tried stop the pick-up vehicle on Sunday. When the driver refused to stop the vehicle, one of the miscreants shot at the vehicle and ordered the driver and others to alight from the vehicle. After the latter alighted, they were beaten black and blue, while the glass of the vehicle was damaged.

The assailants claimed that the victims were transporting cows stolen from the house of Ganapathi at Kaggodlu. SDPI workers and relatives of the assault victims, however, rubbished the accusation that the cattle were stolen.

“Basheer is a farmer and had purchased the cattle from Ganapathi for ploughing. The telephonic conversation between Ganapathi and Basheer can be verified. The cattle were being transported, when the youth assaulted Basheer and the driver and also attacked the vehicle," they insisted.

On the complaint of attempt to murder by shooting, the police have registered a case against Kumar, Madhu Mohan of Kaggodlu, Raja, Vittal of Hakkathoor, Jithesh from Mekeri, and Balakrishna from Biligiri. Meanwhile, Ganapathi, who is also a saffron activist, has filed a theft case against Basheer and Salam accusing them of stealing his cattle.

Expecting justice from impotent government is no use.

BJP one end shows that they are protecting cows, in other end exports beef to foreign countries for more profit.

If they think cow is their God. I think muslims should respect and should refrain from slaughtering cow. One day they will realise that what they have done. In every friday prayer. Imam should announce not to slaughter cow. If it hurts their sentiments.

We also know that its a political game to divide the people. Cow they are using as a bakra.

No 1. Exporter of beef is india. After modi comes to power. India beat brazil. Before brazil was no 1 exporter of beef. Al kabir we all know he is hindu. Who is a big exporter.

If these kind of fight continue. Then india will divide into 4 countries again.

One for hindus second for muslims third for cristains fourth for dalits.
One part for h

Mangaluru, May 19: Team Be Human, a city based group of philanthropists, has taken commendable initiative to satiate the hunger of the civic workers of Mangaluru City Corporation that are endangering their lives to keep the city clean amidst covid-19 lockdown.

Haveri, Jan 16: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Wednesday hinted at inducting 16 MLAs into the Cabinet which was due for expansion despite the fact that it was a difficult task.

Participating in a function of Choudayya Community here, he further said one should understand the difficulty faced to undertake cabinet expansion in the prevailing situation and whoever gives suggestion should understand the circumstances otherwise the statements would lead to confusion among the community and people of the state.

He stated that 'as many as 17 MLAs resigned to make me Chief Minister and now their community people want their leader to become Minister, it is very difficult to satisfy all of them'.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
