Madikeri, Nov 4: Richard Vincent D'Souza, the Deputy Commissioner of Kodagu, has asked the district police to be ruthless towards those who disturb the law and order situation on Tipu Jayanti to be held on November 10.

dcChairing a preparatory meet at his office hall on Thursday, he said that it was important to install CCTV cameras at homestays, congestive circles and roads. No posters or banners may be displayed by roads. Also, publicity material cannot be pasted on vehicles. If necessary, prior permission must be obtained by the Police Department.

Vehicles, homestays and lodges should be checked. Also, Tipu Jayanti should not be held in places other than those decided by the district and taluk administration.

Security measures should be tightened to maintain law and order. Tipu Jayanti should be peaceful. The Police Department should meet the challenge successfully, the superintendent of police said.

Additional Deputy Commissioner M Satish told the tahsildars, Taluk Panchayat executive officer and DySP to discuss and to decide the date and venue of Tipu Jayanti programmes at the taluk-level.

Assistant Commissioner Dr Nanjundegowda, Tahsildar Kusuma, Mahadevaswamy, Krishna, Taluk Panchayat Executive Officer Padnekar, Satyanarayana, Jeevan Kumar, DySP Chabbi and CMC Commissioner B B Pushpavati were present among others, during the meeting.

Checkposts have been opened at the border areas of Kodagu, Maldare, Kutta, Anechowkuru, Siddapura, Koppa, Shirangala, Kodlipet, Shanivarasante, Sampaje and Karike. Four CCTV cameras have been installed at each of these checkposts. Inspection of vehicles, homestays and lodges is being carried out.

Section 107 is imposed in Madikeri town. Bonds have been taken in writing from those who were part of riots during Tipu Jayanti last year. Vehicles coming into and going out of Madikeri are being inspected and their numbers are being noted. All necessary measures have been taken so as to ensure that the last year's incidents do not repeat.

Bengaluru, Feb 8: The BJP on Saturday drew flak on Twitter for taking a swipe at Muslim women who appear to be standing in a line to vote in Delhi's assembly polls. ""Kaagaz Nahi Dikayenge Hum" ! ! ! Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR exercise (sic)," the party's Karnataka Twitter handle posted using the hashtag #DelhiPolls2020. 

The video, which appears to have been taken from one of the polling booths in Delhi on Saturday, shows burqa-clad women flashing their voter ID cards. While the threatening tone of the tweet is unmissable, the tweet contradicts the government's statement that no person needs to submit any documents during the house-to-house survey for updating the National Population Register (NPR) and that information provided by individuals would be accepted and recorded. 

The tweet has added to the prevailing confusion regarding the NPR exercise in the country. 

The NPR is a list of "usual residents" of the country. In 2010, the data for NPR was collected along with the house-listing phase of the Census of India 2011. The data was updated in 2015 by conducting a door-to-door survey.

Currently, it has been decided to update the NPR along with the house-listing phase of Census 2021 during April to September 2020 in all the states/union territories except Assam.

Most of the opposition parties see NPR as a prelude to the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has been opposed by even NDA allies like the JD(U). The NPR questionnaire asked details like the birthplace of parents. In combination with the recently amended citizenship law, protesters fear that the registry might be eventually used for NRC. 

As a result, people, predominantly Muslims, have hit the streets as India witnesses one of the most widespread civilian unrest of recent times.
