Mangaluru, May 16: Hours after Bharatiya Janata Party candidates won seven out of eight assembly constituencies in Dakshina Kannada district, a clash erupted at Adyarpadav on the outskirts of Mangaluru thanks to a victory rally. 

A group of saffron activists, who were taking out a rally at Adyarpadav under the limits of Kankandy Rural Police Station, burst crackers in front of a mosque at around 8 p.m.

When local Muslims objected the behavior of saffron activists, they reportedly pelted stones at the mosque. The window panes of the mosque were damaged. This led to a clash between the two groups. 

A few minutes later, unidentified miscreants pelted stones at the entrance gate of a nearby Anjaneya temple. BJP activists claimed that the miscreants pelted stones on victory rally too. Meanwhile, a motorbike was also found damaged.

According to police, local residents identified as Safwan, Vanajaksha, Ashok, Arun and Abhijit were injured in the clash. Among them Ashok got admitted to a hospital.

A tense atmosphere prevailed in the area following the incident. Police tightened the security.

Udupi, Apr 24: While several state governments and NGOs are actively working to provide essentials to the needy amid the COVID-19 lockdown, a fisherwoman in Karnataka's Udupi has proved that even a small gesture of help for others can make a huge difference in the society.
A fisherwoman, Sharadakka, distributed rice to 140 needy families in her neighbourhood during the ongoing lockdown. The contribution was made by spending all her life savings amounting to Rs 30,000. The amount was saved by her over a period of time in an effort to build a house for herself.
On Thursday Udupi Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesh visited her and ensured help to build her house.
"Spending her meagre earnings, Sharadakka generously filled many empty stomachs amid the nation-wide lockdown, which is a matter of pride," said the Deputy Commissioner.
