Mangaluru, Nov 10: When the Tipu Jayanti celebrations began at the Netravati Auditorium of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat in the city on Friday morning, men-in-khaki arrested a local BJP leader for allegedly trying to disrupt the programme.

Tight security is in place at the programme venue and police are not allowing the people without any identity cards to entre the auditorium. BJP minority morcha leader Franklin Monteiro was detained when he tried to entre the auditorium to disrupt the programme.

According to Mangaluru City Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh, Tipu Jayanti is being held at only one place in the city. Neither has any other organisation applied for permission to hold the celebrations nor the police have given permission to hold such programmes today.

Mr. Suresh said the city police have booked over 80 security cases against habitual offenders and obtained bonds from them for good behaviour. Police are also keeping a close watch on trouble mongers to prevent any untoward incident, he said. The police have also taken a few trouble mongers into preventive custody on Thursday evening.

Over 1,200 police personnel, including those from Karnataka State Reserve Police and City Armed Reserve, have been deployed at all sensitive areas across the city police commissionerate. Also, one company of Rapid Action Force is stationed in the city to face any eventuality.

May 15,2020

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Our motto is 'First Farmers'. The new amendment in the APMC Act will provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their produce directly to any purchase outside APMC or in other APMCs. This will help the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce," CM Yediyurappa tweeted.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM added.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
