Bengaluru, Dec 13: Veteran Congress leader and former union minister C K Jaffer Sharief has criticized chief minister Siddaramaiah and party’s state president G Parameshwara for their decision to take out election tours separately.

"The party would have benefited if they (Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara) had taken out the election tour together without making it a prestige issue...there was no need for them to tour separately," he told reporters on seeking his reaction on the issue.

Differences had cropped up between Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara over taking out the party campaign across the state.

When their spat became public, AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal stepped in to sort it out. He allowed both the leaders to tour separately.

While Siddaramaiah is touring assembly constituencies represented by Congress party, Parameshwara will tour non-Congress constituencies by this month end.

Bengaluru, Feb 4: The CBI has booked Karnataka cadre senior IPS officers Hemant Nimbalkar and Ajay Hilori along with eight others in connection with Rs 4,000-crore I-Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam in which gullible investors were allegedly cheated in the name of Islamic banking, officials said on Tuesday.

The move came after the CBI received an approval from the Karnataka government to proceed with investigation into alleged role of 1998-batch IPS officer Nimbalkar and 2008-batch IPS officer Hilori, they said.

Along with the two officers, the agency has also named the company IMA, its founder Mansoor Khan and others in the case.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government.

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited.

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
