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.
Chairing 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.
Forty Karnataka State Reserve Police platoons and rapid action forces are expected to arrive at Kodagu soon. Prohibitory orders will be imposed by the district administration from November 8 or 9, till indefinite period, sources said.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
