July 12, 2016

The main demand of the agitators was that chief minister Siddaramiah should take necessary steps to arrest K J George, the Minister for Bengaluru Development and Town Planning, against whom Ganapathi had levelled harassment allegations before hanging himself in Madikeri last week.

This is the third protest organised by the local unit of BJP in front of the office of DC in the city in four days on the same issue.

Addressing the protesters at the entrance gate of the DC office, before entering inside, Rahim Uchil, a minority morcha leader of the saffron party, said that it was unfortunate that an honest officer ended his life in uniform. It was sad that police officers, who were supposed to protect the people, were ending their lives after farmers in the State.

“The incident shows that police too are not safe in the State under Congress government. Then what about common man?,” Mr. Uchil said.

He said that if the government tried to protect Mr George and those officers against whom Ganapathi made allegations, the saffron party would intensity protest across the state.

“We will not hesitate to go to jail. We want justice,” he said. Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel was also among the protesters.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
