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

Bengaluru, Apr 14: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday demanded that BS Yediyurappa-led government should cut down on 'unnecessary' expenditures to mobilise funds to fight against coronavirus.

"Yediyurappa government needs to cut down on unwanted expenses which government is spending on several things in order to save the taxpayers money to fight against coronavirus," said Siddaramaiah here in a press conference.

He alleged that the ruling state government is indulged in corruption due to which the government is running bankrupt, adding that instead of mobilising funds, Yediyurappa government is only concentrating on auction of Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) sites.
Siddaramaiah claimed that the "BDA was already in loss".

"The present government does not have money due to its involvement in corruption. The Karnataka government must concentrate on cutting expenses and there is no need to waste money on unwanted things including vehicles for board and corporations chiefs," said the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader.

"Yediyurappa government has decided to auction more than 12,000 BDA sites to get benefit of Rs 15,000 crore, rather than fullfiling requirements of people of the state at the time of coronavirus crisis," he said.

In Karnataka, 247 people have tested positive for coronavirus, including 59 cured and discharged and 6 deaths, according to the Union Health Ministry.

Mangaluru, Apr 4: The mother and grandmother of the 10-month-old baby boy, under treatment at a private hospital in Deralakatte here for COVID-19 infection, tested negative.

Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the infant, who was admitted with an acute respiratory infection, was stable and there had been a good response to the treatment being given in isolation.

The child, hailing from Sajipanadu Village in Bantwal Taluk was admitted to a hospital at Deralakatte in Mangaluru for treatment on March 23 as it had developed respiratory problems. 

On March 24, the child’s condition worsened and hence his throat swabs was sent for COVID-19 testing. On March 27, reports of the tests confirmed that the child was infected with COVID-19.

Health authorities are of the view that the baby might have contracted the disease when the family travelled recently to Kasaragod in Kerala, a district identified as a hotspot for Coronavirus.
