Now, the fake currency notes Rs 2,000 have surfaced in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district triggering panic among the people in coastal Karnataka.

On Tuesday a resident of Punacha village near Vittla in Bantwal was taken aback after he was told that Rs 2,000 note he carried was just a colour photo copy of the original.

In a complaint to Vittla police, Krishnappa, said that he pledged his gold ring at a outlet of Muthoot Finance and got the Rs 2,000 note.

He used the note to purchase liquor at the outlet of MSIL. As he was going towards his house, two MSIL employees came in a vehicle and stopped Krishnappa. They told him that the note he had given was a colour photo copy of the original.

They took away the liquor and gave him back the note he had given them. Krishnappa went to Muthoot Finance who denied having given him the note.

He also went to the branch of Syndicate Bank from where the finance company had brought the money. The bank officials too denied that they dispensed with such a note. The police said that they are looking into the issue now.

Subbu, Mangalore,
That app is only for fun. Not for scanning the currency. It does work even on a xerox copy of new Rs.2000 note.

1] Demonetization will stop fake currency circulation.
- Fake currency starts off from their favourite United States of Gujarath and goes across the country.

2] It will stop terrorists funding.
- 3 terrorists held with the New Rs. 2000 note currency, while poor still stand in long queues at banks.

3] Black money will be stopped and black money holders will be jailed.
- SBI waives off loans of more than 50 loan defaulters including Vijay mallya.

4] Demonetization will boost economy
- All markets affected due to lack of sales activities in the past 2 weeks.
- Dollar is higher than ever at Rs. 68.14/ USD.

5] 15 Lakhs will surely com into ur account.
- Government takes people's own hard earned money to fee the crony capitalists, even at the cost of 56 people's death till today.

Mangaluru, Jun 3: A banner that read "Veer Savarkar Flyover Pumpwell" surfaced on the sidewall of the Pumpwell flyover in Mangaluru on Tuesday night.

It is suspected that activists of Bajrang Dal put up the controversial banner. Though it was removed later, it sparked debates on social media and photos of it went viral.

The development comes amid the controversy over the naming of a flyover at Yelahanka in Bengaluru after Savarkar.

A Hindutva ideologue, Savarkar has tendered apology to British imperialists and pledged to support them following his arrest during India’s freedom movement.

Bengaluru, Feb 9: The Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services Department has kept 138 persons across the state under observation in the wake of novel coronavirus (nCov) scare, a health official said on Saturday.

"We are observing 138 people across the state, including in Bengaluru," the department's Communicable Diseases Wing Joint Director Prakash Kumar told news agency.

Though no coronavirus-positive case has been reported from Karnataka so far, four persons have been admitted in a state hospital under medical observation, Kumar confirmed.

Of the 104 samples sent for testing from the state, 85 have, so far, been declared negative. As many as 130 persons in the state were kept under home-isolation observation.

Four Karnataka districts bordering Kerala — Kodagu, Mangluru, Chamarajanagar and Mysuru — continue to be under surveillance after three positive coronavirus cases were reported in Kerala.

On Saturday, it was reported that three persons from Udupi were isolated at the Ajjarkad Government Hospital. Two of them had travelled to China while the other had returned to Udupi from Japan.

From January 20 till Saturday, 14,153 passengers underwent thermal screening at the Kempegowda International Airport, including three who had a history of visiting China’s Wuhan, the epicenter of the nCoV outbreak.

The '104 Arogya Sahayavani' call centre, which people can call for guidance on coronavirus, has clocked 1,792 calls so far.

"In case people with recent travel history to China and other affected countries develop any symptoms, they are requested to call 104 or health authorities and provide all necessary details in order to take necessary measures and are requested to be quarantined at home," reiterated the department.

Three confirmed cases of coronavirus were earlier reported in Kerala and over 722 deaths were confirmed around the world, mostly in mainland China.
