The police control room received the call at about 1 p.m. from a landline number of a shop. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and policemen rushed and sanitised the whole market area. After a search for nearly two hours, the call was found to be a hoax.

Meanwhile, the police team went to the grocery shop in the Kankanady market area from where the call had been made. The owner of the shop told the police that the call was made by a boy from Ullal who had come to deliver eggs.

When confronted, the boy reportedly told the shop owner that he had made the call on a casual note and ran away. The police have traced the boy in Ullal. While the boy claims to be 17, the police are verifying his school records to know whether it was true.

The Mangaluru Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar said a case has been registered against the boy for a non-cognisable offence. As per law, further action against the boy will be taken as per the direction of the jurisdictional court.

DKS urges PM to deposit Rs 10,000 in accounts of people in unorganised sector

News Network

April 18,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 18: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Saturday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deposit at least Rs 10,000 in bank accounts of people belonging to the unorganised sector.

"The unorganised sector comprises barbers, dhobi, cooks, carpenters, sweepers, drivers and autorickshaw drivers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not mention anything about giving subsistence to these people," Shivakumar, told ANI, referring to the Prime Minister's address earlier this week.

Modi had announced the extension of the ongoing nationwide lockdown till May 3 in order to curb the spread of coronavirus.

"I appeal to Prime Minister Modi to register the members of the unregistered sector under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) or deposit at least Rs 10,000 to the bank accounts of each of the members of unorganised sector to help them survive the lockdown," he added.

Though the Congress party will continue the central government and state government's fight against coronavirus, he said, both the governments need to help people who are part of the unorganised sector.

"The farmers have told me that due to the lockdown they are ready to sell the vegetables, which once used to be sold at Rs 100 per kg, at even Rs 5 per kg," he said.

Speaking on the suggestions he made to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, Shivakumar said, "I requested the Chief Minister to send a team to do a videograph and make an assessment of the on-ground situation. However, till now, no one has gone."
