Thanks to the new law, which makes helmets mandatory for pillion riders, traffic police in Mangaluru, other parts of Dakshina Kannada district and Udupi booked hundreds of violators within few hours after the law came into force in the region on February 1.

Though the rule was clamped Karnataka on January 12 the police in coastal districts many other parts of the state started levying fine on violators from Monday. In Bengaluru, the cops started strictly implementing the rules from January 21.

Mangaluru Police Commissioner M Chandra Sekhar said that the police had given time till January 31 and created awareness among the general pubic about the need to wear helmets. The rule is now strictly being implemented, he said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic and Crime) Sanjeev M. Patil said Rs. 100 fine would be imposed on the offending rider. As the traffic police are equipped with Blackberry devices to record traffic violations and issue chalans, it would be easy to find out repeat offenders. Repeat offenders would be dealt with as per the Supreme Court directive.

A traffic police constable indicated that many officers would not leave the rider alone after imposing Rs. 100 fine for violating the helmet rule.

The officers would also charge the offender with another offence — negligent riding — and impose an addtional fine of Rs. 300, with a view to deter recurrence of such practices, he said.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police S.D. Sharanappa said that the district police are geared up to enforce the rule. In the last three weeks, the police conducted awareness programmes in the respective police station jurisdictions.

Several MLAs at Bengaluru resort were emotionally pressurised to leave Cong: Patwari

News Network

March 13,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Several ministers staying at the Bengaluru resort had been emotionally pressurised to leave the Congress party, said Congress leader Jitu Patwari on Thursday after he was rescued by party leader DK Shivakumar from getting arrested due to the scuffle that had broken out at Embassy Boulevard here.

"We had received information that one of the MLAs, Manoj Chaudhary, staying at the Boulevard wanted his father to bring him back home," Patwari told reporters.

He said, "We had accompanied Manoj's father to the resort but the moment we entered the restaurant at the resort, some miscreants took away Manoj to some other unknown place," Patwari told reporters.

"Meanwhile, we (Lakhan Singh and Jitu Patwari) were manhandled and taken to the police station," he added.

Patwari said that the police had started the process of arresting them but Shivakumar came to their rescue and stopped their arrest.

He further said, "The police manhandled us even though we tried to talk to them in a very calm manner."

"If the MLAs giving resignation was their decision then why is the BJP not allowing them to contact their families," the MP said.

He further said that Jyotiraditya Scindia would soon become a minister but "why are the other ministers being made scapegoats."

Earlier in the day, a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh had said that if action on the assaulters of its two leaders is not taken then the matter will be taken to the court.
