Crack down on communal groups, CM directs police

Bengaluru, Jul 11: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday directed the police top brass to invoke two stringent laws to curb violence in the coastal region.

Presiding over a meeting, he advised them to exile trouble-makers and habitual offenders or book them under the Karnataka Control of Organised Crimes Act (KCOCA) or the Goonda Act. The laws provide for preventive arrests. He also asked them to crack down on Sri Rama Sene, Bajrang Dal, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Popular Front of India and the Social Democratic Party of India, saying they were responsible for the violence.

He said Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts were known for religious harmony. Following the stabbing of an RSS worker and his subsequent death, the region has been in the grip of communal tension over the past week. “People in the two districts are peace-loving. But in the last few years, communal forces have converted the coastal belt into a communal laboratory,” Siddaramaiah said.

On the basis of a report from the director general and inspector general of police, the government is considering a ban on communal organisations in the coastal belt, he said. He directed the top brass to identify and act sternly against ‘handlers’ of people indulging in violence. “I have spoken to the DG and IGP, ADGP and officers who earlier served in these two districts. We will use their feedback to control the violence. We will not let anybody claim a human life for political mileage,” he said. He said “unseen hands” become active during the election year to foment trouble.

DG & IGP R K Dutta will soon visit the two districts to monitor the situation, he announced.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.
