Kasaragod, Jan 1: Tension prevailed at Chettukuunu in Kasaragod district during the participation of women in the 620-km long Kerala state sponsored ''Women's Wall'' campaign to uphold gender equality and renaissance values.

Reports reaching here said, a group of alleged BJP/RSS workers had pelted stones on the women volunteers who were arriving at the place to line up for the wall besides setting on fire the vegetation alongside the railway track, making it impossible for them to line up in the wall.

The workers hurled stones at the women and policemen, injuring three personnel, police said. Police fired in the air and burst teargas shells to disperse the workers.

The incident occurred just as the human wall initiative was coming to a close Tuesday evening.

Media personnel of two television channels were also attacked by the saffron activists, who reportedly forced them to delete the visuals of the incident.

The highway at this 500 metre stretch is parrelel and close to the Railway line and the thick fumes spread all over forced the wall break up at this area.

Lakhs of women from various walks of life on Tuesday participated in the 620-km long state sponsored ''Women's Wall'' campaign to uphold gender equality and renaissance values.

The "Women's wall" was conceived in the backdrop of frenzied protests witnessed in the hill shrine of Lord Ayyappa at Sabarimala after the CPI(M)-led LDF government decided to implement the Supreme Court verdict, allowing all women to pray at the Ayyappa shrine.

With the Kerala Minister for Health K K Shylaja standing first led the chain here.

In Kannur, the bastion of CPI(M), heavy turnout of women was witnessed from even the interior villages, to form part of the "Women's Wall".

The enthusiasm was overwhelming in Kozhikode with women from the various parts of the district and also from the neighbouring district of Wayanad, lined up to make Women's Wall stretch out upto Iykkarapadi, its border with Malappuram, covering a distance of 79 kilometers.

Bengaluru, Jul 11: The Bharatiya Janata Party led government of Karnataka is planning to ban cow slaughter as well as the sale and consumption of beef in the state by bringing Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation Bill, 2012.

"Many states have passed the Anti-Cow Slaughter Bill. We are preparing to implement it in Karnataka as well. The state government will soon implement a ban on cow slaughter, sale and consumption of beef on the lines of many other states," said Prabhu Chauhan, the state's Animal Husbandry Minister.

The Anti-Cow Slaughter Act is already in place in several states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh among others.

Last month, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government passed a draft ordinance to prevent cow slaughter, providing maximum rigorous imprisonment of 10 years and a fine up to Rs 5 lakh.
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Cow Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 aims at making the existing Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 more effective towards cow safety.

In Karnataka, the BJP-led government had promised to ban cow slaughter in its manifesto for 2018 state assembly election.

"The government will form a team of experts to look into once the current pandemic situation eases," Chauhan stated, adding that if necessary, the team of experts will visit states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat.

The then BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government had passed the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Protection Bill in 2010 but it failed to get presidential approval. Three years later, the Bill was withdrawn by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.

"I will discuss this matter with Chief Minister and if this pandemic situation eases, by next session, if not by upcoming assembly session, we will try to bring Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill," Chauhan added.
