Dakshina Kannada judge hasn't voted for last 32 years due to poll time transfers

Mangaluru, Apr 4: Every district administration in the state is taking extra care to ensure that the maximum number of voters get a chance to vote in the 2018 Karnataka Assembly polls.

But the Dakshina Kannada Principal District and Sessions Judge K S Bilagi has claimed that he has been unable to exercise his franchise for the last 32 years because he has been transferred during election time repeatedly.

"I was transferred during election season, repeatedly. I have not got a chance to vote for the last 32 years," he said while addressing the audience at the blood donation camp inauguration, organised as a part of a voter awareness programme.

"When I was in Bengaluru, I was transferred during elections and prior to that, when I went to a polling booth in Kalaburagi, my name was not in the voters' list... and this has been going on for the last 32 years," he rued.

"This election will be the last election during my service and I have submitted an application to include my name in the voters' list," he said adding, that he is anxiously waiting to vote for the first time in his service.

Mangaluru, June 10: The first direct repatriation flight from Damma to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission will be operated on June 21.

Thousands of people from coastal districts of Karnataka are stranded without flights in different parts of Saudi Arabia after the announcement of covid lockdown in March this year. 

Even though the government of India launched Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian expatriate through special flights, no flight was scheduled from Saudi Arabia to Mangaluru.

Several organisations had exerted pressure on the government of India and government of Karnataka to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia.  

With the sole intention of helping the stranded Kannadigas, a few philanthropists in Saudi Arabia last month formed an NGO called Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum under the leadership of Zakariya Bajpe and Sheikh Expertise.

Mangaluru, Mar 1: A youth lost his life in a lift crash at a wedding hall at Kallapu near Thokkottu on the outskirts of the city today. 

The deceased has been identified as Hamzah (30), a resident near Thumbay, who was part of the catering team hired for the marriage ceremony. 

The tragedy occurred at around 2 p.m. when Hamzah was getting ready to bring utensils and other things by lift from the third floor of the hall. All of a sudden, the lift’s ropes came loose and Hamzah lost his balance and got trapped inside.

He was pulled out and rushed to a hospital in Deralakatte, but he breathed his last on the way. He is survived by his wife and three children.
