This organisation aims at helping such families.

He said that in case of the sudden demise of the breadwinner a beneficiary family, the DKMA will donate Rs 2 lakh by collecting Rs 1,000 from 200 members.

The families of only those who become members of DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. Besides they will be eligible to get a free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte, he said.

As a special gesture the DKMA will be donating Rs 2 lakh to the family of Safwan, who died in a hospital in the city after being stabbed by miscreants a few days ago in Thokkottu, he added.

Mr Rasheed Haji revealed that the inspiration for the formation of DKMA was an organisation which donated Rs 8 lakh for the family of a deceased, collecting Rs 80 from 10,000 people. Former minister BA Mohideen, Mangaluru North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava and others were present.

Very good move by S.M.Rashid haji,I hope & pray it long last. The
similar organizations are still in existance, i.e. Central committee
with different kind of services.The condition laid before the muslim public that those who become the member of DKMA only
get benefit is bit confusing.Hope that will be solved meaningfully.

Now the needy will get less donations and moreover surprised to note that there are no hanafi members and would like to know is this something to do like the Beary community as this should not be named DK muslim association as there are hanfai`s also in the district who have conrtibuted hugely towards the community.

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.

Its not the fault of the residents.  Sanghis are planning to approach citizins disguised as health workers and else to get  details of residents.   such trouble makers should be noted and handed over to police.   Police should arrest such fake people and put in jail.   such fake people are trying to terrify poors and collect money assuring to help them.   So, please be careful.
