raiMangaluru, Apr 6: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders are behind the murder of Right To Information activist Vinayak Baliga, according to Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister B. Ramanath Rai.

Responding to a question at a press conference here, Mr. Rai said that not only in the Baliga murder case, but the BJP leaders were also behind the murder of Harish Poojary of Bantwal that took place after the Tipu Jayanti celebrations.

The Minister said that he had issued directions to the police to bring to book the guilty behind the gruesome murders.

Speaking earlier, Mr. Rai defended formation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau by the State government and said that the State Cabinet had taken that decision.

“It has nothing to do with the Lokayukta Act and no attempts are being made to weaken the institution,” he said.

There were many States which had both the Lokayukta and the Anti-Corruption Bureau and a few which had only the ACB, he added.

Every evil acts will be exposed...
The Cheddi MEMBERS Should think before they fall into their Cheddi leaders mind wash ... They only guide U to do evil & then U & your family will be trapped for their desire .. Once they got their target ..they will avoid YOU. This has happened with many of them. Now Namo DK leader is on the Run... But how long he will Run...When will he live freely in the society...
Y cant cheddi members use their mind independently and avoid falling to do evil as per your evil masters order.
Think & PONDER ... This beautiful life is not to play & Kill each other. U will only open up & clear your heart When U look into the CREATOR who created U and all... Look for the TRUTH and dont be a part of FALSEHOOD...

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Tension prevailed in the city after an international flyer quarantined at the District Wenlock Hospital walked out of the facility.

The passenger, with a recent travel history to high-risk countries, refused to cooperate with health officials. The day-long drama ended when the district administration intervened and the flyer agreed to get himself re-admitted.

Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said the passenger had fever and was sent to an isolation ward. “The passenger is cooperating with the treatment and samples have been collected for testing,” she said. The samples will be sent to a testing centre in Bengaluru.

Sources told  that rude behaviour by staff at Mangalore International Airport may have angered the passenger and he walked out of the quarantine facility.

She said if passengers show reluctance to be screened, they should first be counselled and allowed to get themselves admitted to a hospital of their choice with quarantine facility. If they still refuse to cooperate, they will have to be hospitalised forcefully, she added.

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.
