Four 'adventurous' madrasa students trespass at Belagavi airport

October 15, 2016

Belagavi/Bengaluru, Oct 15: Four students of a madrasa were detained for trespassing on the runway of the Belagavi airport and moving around suspiciously on Friday.

trespass

Police released the students after it emerged that they had set out on an adventure, and the madrasa's principal gave an undertaking that the incident would not recur.

A total of 12 students, aged 18-22, climbed the airport's eight-foot-high steel wire fence which runs parallel to the compound wall and ventured near the runway in the high-security zone.

The incident happened around 10.30 am, more than an hour before the scheduled arrival of a SpiceJet flight from Bengaluru, official sources said. Personnel of the Karnataka State Industrial Security Force (KSISF), which is in charge of security at the airport, were caught unawares.

They managed to detain four students but others escaped. Those detained were identified as Shaikh Sameer, 20, from Hyderabad, Bandenawaz Jamadar, 19, of Bagalkot, Toufiq, 19, and Babul, 18. They are all students of a madrasa at Pant-Balekundri village near the airport, around 13 km from Belagavi city centre, the sources said.

The detained students didn't possess any mobile phones. The madrasa's principal, Mohammad Saleem Walikar, visited the jurisdictional Marihal police station and confirmed that the youths were students of the religious school.

He gave an undertaking that such an incident would not recur. The students were later released, Belagavi Police Commissioner T G Krishna Bhatta said.

The madrasa has around 200 students. With Friday being the weekly holiday for the madrasa, the students had set out on an adventure and trespassed on the airport.

The airport's compound wall cuts access to an approach road to farm fields and housing colonies of Honnihal, Balekundri, Modaga, Mavinkatti and Pant-Balekundri villages.

The villagers are opposed to the construction of the compound wall, saying it deprived them of the approach road.

Shepherds graze their sheep on the airport premises while inquisitive youths often watch planes land and take off as they hover above their head.

Security tightened

Friday's incident initially alarmed security officials as Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh was to arrive in Bengaluru in the afternoon.

Not taking any chances, the Bengaluru police have tightened security in and around the Kempegowda International Airport and the HAL?airport.

Additional Commissioner of Police (East) P?Harishekharan said that the jurisdictional DCP and ACPs had been instructed to carry out intense patrolling and sabotage checks and look out for suspicious movements. Airport authorities have been directed to thoroughly frisk the passengers, he said.

Mohammad Hussain Ali Qureshi, a resident of Kalaburagi, was arrested on December 3, 2015, after he was found to be filming the Belagavi airport. His camera also had pictures and videos of other locations.

Kasaragod, Mar 23: The district administration on Monday decided to abandon efforts to map out the movement details of the NRI who came from Dubai recently and came into contact with many in North Kerala.

The district has been completely locked down since Monday morning, on the directive of the Central Government. Prohibitory orders have been slapped in the district since Sunday night to restrict socialisation of the people.

As the person now in isolation have allegedly been non-cooperative, the authorities were finding it difficult to sketch out a rote map as his movement and socialisation has been so vast and wide since his arrival here on March 12.

The middle aged and popular NRI who landed at Karipur airpprt on March 11 had been in Calicut till midnight prior to boarding the Maveli Express to make it to his hometown Kasaragod, which is 160 kms away from Calicut. He had come into contact with very many, including two MLAs of the district, prior to getting tested positive and getting isolated in the hospital.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals on Saturday to assess COVID-19 management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds, as promised, with effect from Sunday.

The chief minister said that private medical college hospitals need to cooperate as there is a sharp rise in COVID-10 cases in the city. He further said that it has come to the notice of the government that some institutes are denying treatment of COVID-19 as well as non-COVID patients.

The chief minister expressed his concerns over media reports stating several people died as they didn't get timely treatment due to denial from the hospitals. He said that Bengaluru should continue to lead the country as a role model in COVID-19 management.

During previous meetings, private medical colleges had agreed upon providing around 4,500 beds, which would make the total beds available in government and private medical colleges 6,500.

The chief minister expressed dismay over some colleges not providing the number of beds as promised and also about certain lacunae which were noticed by ministers during their visit.
During this emergency situation, we should show humanity. COVID and non-COVID patients shall not be denied treatment and the balance in healthcare system shall be maintained, he advised.

He assured them of all support, including providing doctors and nurses if need be.
The private medical colleges had assured to provide 50 per cent of beds and some colleges offered 80 per cent of the beds for COVID treatment.

Nodal officers have already been appointed to monitor the availability of beds in these medical colleges.

It was decided to issue a notice to Vaidehi Medical College for their absence in the meeting.
