Mangaluru, Sept 22: Dakshina Kannada district police has finally registered a case against Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Jagadish Karanth for his extremist rant against Puttur Rural Police Sub-Inspector Abdul Khader.

The development comes after Karnataka home minister R Ramalinga Reddy took Dakshina Kannada SP C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy to task for failing to take action against a hatemonger who apparently tried to disrupt peace in the society and abused a Muslim cop.

Karanth at a public rally at Kille Maidan in Puttur on September 15 had cast professional and personal aspersion on the police officer and invoked his religion while making those accusations.

Based on a complaint from N K Omana, PSI (Law and Order), Puttur Town police station, a case has been registered in Puttur town police station against Karanth under sections 505(1) c, 505 (2), 153(A), and 189 of IPC.

The SP said, "We will take the case to its logical conclusion. Along with this (above) case, the PSI concerned (Abdul Khader) will also file a separate case of criminal defamation against Karanth."

Incidentally, minister Reddy after reviewing functioning of department in Western Range on Wednesday had told reporters that he was aware of the rant by Karanth against the police officer and had dismissed submission by the SP that department has sought legal opinion and would initiate action.

"Nip all such hate speeches in the bud and ensure they do not become the reason for any major law and order problem, irrespective of their affiliation," Reddy had said.

He also should have booked under, the prevention of Insults to national honor act, 1971

 

He has deliberatly insulted Constitution of India by saying that, why should we follow some thing written by a group of 4 people during 1947 to 1950.  He has no right to continue as Indian citizen. Strip his nationality and dump him in Hindu Maha Sagar.

New Delhi, Feb 13: Two SpiceJet pilots have been suspended today for an improper landing at Mangalore Airport which damaged three runway edge lights. The incident took place on October 31 last year when the private carrier's Boeing 737 aircraft was returning from Dubai.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) suspended the licenses of the pilots for four-and-half months from the date of the incident.

DGCA had issued a show cause notice to the Pilot in Command and the First Officer demanding explanation of the "lapses" and found their replies unsatisfactory, the aviation watchdog said in a statement.

Investigation revealed that the touchdown was improper as it deviated to the the left on the runway in turn damaging three runway edge lights.

Bengaluru, May 2: JDS leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy accused the Mandya district administration of the surge in COVID-19 cases in the district and not quarantining 7,000 labourers who arrived here from Mumbai.

"As we know that 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai, out of which 7,000 people have arrived in the district. However, none of them was quarantined properly which is a violation of COVID-19 lockdown," Kumaraswamy told reporters here on Friday.

He claimed the district administration has shown "gross negligence" in their duty in following the procedure of COVID-19 as "one COVID-19 patient's dead body which was brought here from Mumbai has led to more cases in the district and those who accompanied the body have also tested positive for the virus."

Kumaraswamy appealed to the state government to strictly maintain lockdown norms and do not allow any relaxations in view of the rise in COVID-19 cases, stating that "any kind of relaxation could lead to a huge disaster."

Mangaluru, Feb 12: More than 7,000 people at Mangalore International Airport (MIA) and over 1,000 at the New Mangalore Port (NMP) have undergone thermal screening for the novel coronavirus in the past few days, a taluk health official said on Wednesday.

A few more ships are scheduled to arrive at the port and all precautionary measures to check the ship’s passengers and crew are ready, he said.

Soon after a positive case of deadly pathogen surfaced in Kerala, the district health officials here actively started monitoring all entry points in the bordering district. 

Apart from Mangaluru, there is bus connectivity to Puttur, Sullia, Bantwal, Dharmasthala and Subrahmanya from Kerala. More than eight to 10 trains arrive at Mangaluru daily from Kerala.

Hence, it is impossible to take up screening of all the vehicles arriving from Kerala, sources in District Health and Family Welfare said.
