Hindu Jagarana Vedike holds bandh against Chaithtra Kundapura in DK’s temple town

Subramanya (DK), Oct 25: A day after a local leader of Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) was assaulted allegedly by the aides of Chaithtra Kundapura, a firebrand figure of ‘Hindutva’ over a religious controversy, a massive protest was held on Thursday at Subramanya, a temple town in Sullia taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

Guruprasad Panja, Sullia taluk secretary of HJV was hospitalised on Wednesday night after he was attacked with an iron rod following a heated on-camera argument with Chaithra on the street.

Chaithra, a young journalist-turned-Hindutva chauvinist, who is known for her aggressive Kannada speeches, had reportedly earned the wrath of a section of local Hindus by criticising the ritual of ‘Sarpa Samskara’ at Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple.

Affectionately called as “tigress” among her followers in coastal Karnataka, Chaithra had in fact endorsed the stance of Samputa Narasimha Mutt. This had reportedly led to mudslinging between her and HJV leader on social media.

On Wednesday evening, Chaithra along with a group of supporters confronted Guruprasad and his aides at Kashi-katte near Subramanya. Amidst the heated exchange of words between two groups, one of the men in Chaithra’s group hit Guruprasad with an iron rod.

The police, who reached the spot after the climax, took Chaithra and her supporters into custody. A profusely bleeding Guruprasad was taken to a private hospital for treatment.

On Thursday, hundreds of local Hindu took out a protest rally at Subramanya and raised slogan against Chaithra and demanded action against her. Most of the shops were remained closed in the town in the day in response to the bandh call given by the HJV against the attack.

Newsroom, May 5: Following the union government's nod, preparations are afoot to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad from May 7 onwards.

According to sources, in the first phase from May 7- 14, the government would allow more than 60 “non-scheduled, commercial” flights to operate from about 12 countries to India to bring back 15,000 citizens. At least half of those flights will be from the Gulf region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, while the rest would bring passengers from the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bangladesh.

The flights would be spread over 10 States identified as having the largest numbers to return, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi (NCR) receiving the maximum number of flights.

A meeting held at the Ministry of Civil Aviation looked specifically at flights, mainly operated by Air India, while it awaits a final plan from countries where Indians need to be airlifted from. The first flights planned at present are from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, flying directly to Kozhikode and Kochi.

While the full estimate of Indians needing to return home could cross ten lakhs (a million), with more than two lakhs having registered to return from the UAE alone, officials said their return would be “prioritised and staggered”.
