New Delhi, Mar 22: The Congress high command is not happy with the Siddaramaiah government's decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

siddaramaiahAccording to a senior Congress leader, the high command is of the view that the move is against public opinion, especially civil society - which consider setting up ACB as a diversionary tactics helping those facing corruption charges.

“An opinion is being created that by setting up the ACB, the State government is trying to shield corrupt politicians and bureaucrats,” a senior party leader told Deccan Herald.

With a number of cases pending against politicians, including several ministers with the Lokayukta, the government's move would create confusion in the minds of public.

Instead of the ACB, the government should have taken corrective measures if there were deficiencies in the functioning of the Lokayukta, the leader added. The party's image, dented over chief minister's watch row, will take a further beating, he said.

Even senior party leaders in the State have already expressed their views against the decision, he added.

Timing

The high command is worried about the timing of the move and the party's efforts to defend action. With elections to five Assemblies announced, the Opposition could rake up the issue and corner the party on corruption issue.

Udupi, Jun 9: A Mesolithic site has been discovered at Iduru-Kunjadi in Kundapura taluk of Udupi district of Karnataka by Prof T Murugeshi, Associate Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology at MSRS College, Shirva.

Prof Murugeshi said on Tuesday that the site is near a rock art site of the Mesolithic period that was unearthed. It is located in the Mookambika Wildlife Reserve Forest. At Iduru-Kunjadi, the finds of Mesolithic tools are characterised by blades, scrapers, burine, fluted cores, arrow-heads and flakes of the non-geometric pattern.

He said that though the site was found two years back, it took time to study and identify them. They resembled the tools found in a stratified context at Uppinangady on the Netravati basin, he added.
