Mangaluru, Nov 5: Kavita Sanil, the sitting Mayor of Mangaluru, who entered the karate competition fray after a gap of nine years, clinched gold on the concluding day of the Indian Karate Championship here on Sunday.

Ms. Sanil defeated emerging champion Nisha Nayak 7-3 in the finals in the above 65-kg category, said a release here.

Madikeri, Jan 5: Frequent attacks by Tigers on their cattle in South Kodagu region has left the dairy farmers a worried lot and causing concern for their life.

Several farmers have been rearing cows to supplement their income when low prices of pepper and coffee affect their earnings. At least 13 cows have fallen prey to Tigers in the months of November and December last year.

The Forest Department provides a compensation of Rs 10,000 if a cattle is killed by a tiger or in the attack. The compensation amount is meagre when it comes to the loss incurred by the farmers.

Though the Forest Department has submitted a proposal to increase the compensation amount to the government, no action has been initiated in this regard.
