As per preliminary data, the State's northern border of Manjeswaram registered 70.70 per cent voting, Kasaragod 70.90, Uduma 74.60, Kanhangad 71.40, and Thrikkarippur, 75.60. No major untoward incident were reported from across the district as eight companies of Central and para-military forces assisted the local police in maintaining law and order.

However, there were brief disruptions in the voting process in several polling booths in the district, where the gusty summer showers the other day had affected power supply, as the officials had to sweat under humid weather and use light candles to oversee that polling process. Voting process at a booth at the Kumbala Holy Angel's convent in the Manjeswaram segment was interrupted for around 20 minutes as the voting machine developed snags.

In an isolated incident, Kasaba beach in Nellikkunnu locality here witnessed group clashes involving BJP and IUML workers around 1 p.m. Two IUML workers sustained injuries and an autorickshaw was damaged. The injured accused the BJP workers of preventing them from voting.

With sky remaining overcast all through the day and rain keeping away, voters turned up in large numbers, forming serpentine queues in most polling stations in the district. The momentum came down for a while in the afternoon, only to pick up in the final hours.

The voting figure in the district touched close to 60 per cent as the clock ticked three. Elaborate arrangements made at the polling stations helped the aged and ailing persons cast their votes in a hassle-free manner.

Manjeswaram and Uduma segments, which witnessed interesting contests, saw a quantum jump in voter turnout right from morning.

M0diji is right comparing the state with somalia. It is infested with xian missioneries and mullahs. Even the hindus there are beef eaters

Mangaluru, Jan 16: A protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens and National Population Register organised by the Muslim Central Committee of the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts near Adiyar on Wednesday signalled a snowballing opposition to the measures.

Harsh Mander, former Indian Administrative Service officer-turned-social activist, asserted that the nation’s fight against 'fascist' forces including Bharatiya Janata Party and its parent organisation Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh began over 100 years ago when Mahatma Gandhi returned from South Africa and led the freedom movement against the British.

In his address, Mr Mander asserted that the fight against CAA and NRC is also a campaign to save the secular fabric of the nation. He added that the fight began over a century ago when Hindu Mahasabha and other organisations popped up with their vision to turn the nation into a Hindu country.4

Bengaluru, May 2: Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah have urged the state government to arrange free-transport facilities to those stranded labourers and their family members to return their native places.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the former chief minister criticised the State Government for having decided to collect bur fare from them, ''three-times more than the regular fare''.

Stating that the migrant labourers, who had been stranded ever since lockdown had been clamped in the entire country are not in a position to pay for their travel, Siddaramaiah urged the state government to treat them with human face.
