Hindu-Muslim amity to the fore at this Urus

Kasaragod, Jan 22: The annual Urus at the 12th century Pulingome Makham, a Sunni pilgrim centre here, has religious harmony written all over it. In fact, the festivities are finalised only in consultation with a Hindu family in the area.

In strict adherence to tradition, the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, this year too, invited senior members of the Kamballur Kottayil family to the mosque on January 15 to finalise the festivities for the six-day event scheduled from April 11.

After the conclusion of the evening prayers, the Imam formally announced the schedule in the presence of invited guests from the family on the mosque premises, K.K. Shyam Kumar, a member of the family said.

The function was followed by a mass prayer. The guests and the local people who converged at the mosque were offered refreshments. This time, office-bearers of the nearby Sankara-Narayana-Dharmasatha temple were also invited to the ceremony, Mr. Shyam Kumar said.

Legend

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Kamballur Kottayil family migrated from “Telecherry (Thalassery) Kottayam” in the 12th century and the local dynasty chieftain vested with them control of land holdings in the region.

The family was responsible for maintaining law and order. A group of Muslims approached them, seeking permission to set up a mosque, which was granted. Eventually, permission was also granted to conduct Uroos. For around 300 years, the Urus schedule is being fixed in consultation with the family.

The partition of the family in 1942, upheld by the South Canara Civil Court in Mangaluru, validated three religious institutions falling under it — Kamballur Bhaghavathy Temple, Shankara-Narayana-Dharmasastha Temple at Pulingom, and strangely, the Pulingom Makham.

Later, the mosque came under the administration of the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, which too chose to adhere to the age-old tradition.

Such act is not part of Islam. It does not promote grave worship. Tawheed (Worshipping Allah alone) is the foundation of Islam. The acts mentioned above will be regarded as Associating partners with Allah (SWT)

Bengaluru, May 27: Aimed at giving a boost to affordable housing, the Karnataka government on Tuesday decided to slash the stamp duty on new apartments costing up to ₹35 lakh.

The decision was taken during a meeting chaired by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to review the progress of the Stamps & Registration department.

The Chief Minister directed that the stamp duty be cut from the existing five per cent to two per cent on apartments costing less than ₹20 lakh, getting registered for the first time, his office said in a statement.

Further, the stamp duty on apartments costing between ₹21 lakh - ₹35 lakh will be down from five per cent to three per cent, it said. It is estimated that in 2020-21 due to COVID-19 induced lockdown, Stamps and Registration department might fall short of its revenue target by ₹3,524 crore. The revenue target for 2020-21 is ₹12,655 crore.

Bengaluru, Jun 30: In an attempt to tackle unemployment amidst covid-19 crisis, the Karnataka state government has launched a job portal connecting employers and job seekers.

The portal, 'Skill connect' ( https://skillconnect.kaushalkar.com/ ) provides region-wise and sector-wise job listings. An interested candidate can register on the portal and either apply for jobs or can also seek skill training. 

As on Monday, the portal has 25 registered companies with over 2000 jobs available in various sectors. 

The portal works more or less on similar lines as that of any private job portal, except that those posting jobs and candidates searching for employment will have to register with the Skill Development Department. 

Launching the portal on Monday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa hoped that the portal would provide an impetus to job creation, as well as the economic revival of the state. 

Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan who is also the skill development Minister added, "All these years, there was no information and communication between job seekers and recruiters. This portal will solve that problem."

Also, until now, there hasn't been comprehensive information either on those seeking jobs or those looking for employees. The skill development efforts have not been in sync with the market. All these issues would be addressed by the portal, he said. 

According to Karnataka Skill Development Authority Managing Director Ashwin Gowda, the portal has already seen a response with about 68 applicants in just a day. 

Officials said even the organisations will have to register with the government while providing all documents concerned. The government aims to avoid any fake job advertisements through this. "We will also enable virtual interviews between the candidate and the employer," sources in the department told DH. 

Recently, the government had also launched a portal exclusively for migrants who had returned to Karnataka from other places. This was meant to work as a skill registry.

However, the portal that was launched on Monday, went a step ahead by connecting both the prospective employers and employees, according to officials in the department.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Amid difficulties being faced by COVID-19 patients in getting beds, the Karnataka government on Wednesday made bed allocation display board mandatory in all hospitals registered under Karnataka Private Medical Establishment (KPME).

"It is made mandatory that all hospitals registered under KPME in Karnataka State should display at the reception counter, a bed allocation display board," a notification issued by the state government read.

"It should display the name of the hospital, the total number of beds (as per of KPME registration) and the total number of beds allocated for COVID-19 patients referred by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)," it said.

The notification further stressed that the data must corroborate with the data of the central bed allocation system of BBMP. The display board should be arranged by July 16.

Non-compliance to the order issued by the state government will attract punishment under relevant sections of the Disaster Management Act 2005 and Indian Penal Code, the order read.

The state government on June 23 issued a notification making it mandatory to reserve 50 per cent of the beds in private hospitals to treat COVID-19 patients referred by public health authorities.
