Early on Thursday Mangaluru city police removed illegal banners put up at Adyar by the supporters of Tipu Jayanti.

The police personnel carried out a route march to instill confidence in people while sending a warning to trouble mongers on Wednesday evening. A total of 12 check-posts have been opened, including six on border areas, in the Police Commissionerate jurisdiction. All vehicles from Kerala entering Karnataka are being monitored on Thursday.

Celebrating a Jayanti is not part of Islam. When we muslims will learn? May be this kind of things will add as islamic festival by our future generations. Stop this. These politicians and all the groups who are against it are just making this a political game and harm muslims. Think and understand the disaster this day will make. I pray to Allah that no one is harmed because of this useless, zero benefit celebration. Anybody who likes tipu and his achievements just pray for his magfirah at your home.

Peace

Needless approach by the congress govt. why don't the govt ban saffron organization if they really care about the welfare of society? Dirty politics. Muslims should not trust this govt and join to celebrate this event though we all know for a fact that TIpu was a great secular ruler. congress is playing politics with muslims as usual. Brothers & sisters please open up your minds and don't get into any kind of mischievous to disturb the peace in society.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.

Mangaluru, May 13: Karnataka revised its standard operating procedure (SOP) for international passengers to allow pregnant women, children and senior citizens to entre home quarantine if they test negative for covid-19. 

The development comes after former minister and Mangaluru MLA U T Khader urged the government to follow the Kerala model in handling the repatriates and take extra care of pregnant women and senior citizens at Mangaluru and Bengaluru Airports.

Passengers will be initially dived into two categories. Category A includes passengers symptomatic on arrival while Category B passengers are those asymptomatic on arrival. 

While category A passengers will be directly shifted to covid-19 hospital, category B passengers will be sent to 14-day institutional quarantine.

If there are pregnant women, children below 10 years of age and senior citizens in category B, they will remain in institutional quarantine until they obtain a negative report (after throat swab testing for covid-19). It may take one or two days to get the throat swab testing report.
