Mangaluru, Oct 26: The protest against bad condition of Suratkal-Kana-MRPL road turned into anti-Mohiuddin Bava agitation after the Mangaluru North MLA refused to pay heed to the agony of the frustrated residents in his home constituency on Wednesday.

bavaThe activists of Nagarika Horata Samiti, Kana who were staging a protest at Kana junction demanding the immediate repair of the 4.5-km stretch started raising slogans against Mr Bava after he passed through the same junction.

A few days ago when a group of activists belonging to Social Democratic Party of India staged a protest for the same cause, Mr Bava had visited them and listened to their woes.

“We had expected that today he will visit us and endorse the cause of protesters. Astonishingly, he passed through the same road, but refused to stop his car. Instead he sped away,” said Mohammed Ajmal, a local resident.

The protesters did not block Mr Bava's car thinking he would stop. However, he exhibited arrogance. His driver increased the speed of his car all of a sudden, complained Carol Pinto, another local resident.

She also accused Mr Bava of trying to make the bandh a failure by using police. “But, it was a successful bandh. When more number of people joined the protest, police also realised the seriousness of the issue,” she added.

According to sources, Mr Bava went to Mangaluru International Airport, from where he flew to Saudi Arabia. He is supposed to take part in a cultural event of Indian expatriates in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia on Thursday night.

Dear All,

Mr. Bawa came not for enjoying purpose. He came to Riyadh to participate in Beary Sangama Programme. After return to Mangalore he will finish the work pending in Surathkkal. So no one should worry about that.

He is a gentleman. Not like Palemar...

# Vidya, If Palemar was better how he lost last election? Surathkal people will decide what to do and what not to do. Take care yourself at Dubai instead of nose in to non related matters by sitting in Dubai.

Do we really need this kind of politicians? Palemar was million times better than him. Hope people of his constituency will teach him a good lesson in 2018.

New Delhi, Jul 22: Sir Philip Barton visited Bengaluru on Tuesday in the first of the series of virtual regional visits as the UK's new High Commissioner and called Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, business leaders, and startup community to pitch for new momentum in the already strong UK-Karnataka relationship.

During his virtual call, High Commissioner Barton got a 'real' taste of Bengaluru through a traditional Masala Dosa delivered to his residence in Delhi along with authentic south Indian filter coffee, which he relished over a chat with historian and commentator Ramachandra Guha. They discussed the unique UK-India "living bridge" across culture and cuisine, history and heritage, and sports and science.

Both Yeddyurappa and the British envoy restated their commitment to working together on the immediate challenges of Covid-19 and beyond.

Barton subsequently 'traveled' to Electronics City, where he met with a range of key business leaders to discuss deepening the UK-India tech partnership and opportunities for global investors in the UK.

Barton also met with a group of entrepreneurs, business founders and innovators, who were part of the first GoGlobal UK cohort to explore the dynamic UK market considered one of the best ecosystems for startups in the world. 

They had earlier attended a week-long boot-camp in London and Manchester in December 2019 that helped them bolster their business skills, build links with UK's thriving digital sector, and paved the way for future partnerships.

"I am delighted to make my first regional virtual visit to Bengaluru, the technology hub of India. My visit comes at a difficult time for everyone. So it is also a time when the excellent collaboration between the UK and Karnataka across technology and healthcare could not be important," Barton said.

"Making the most of those close links, and drawing on the great energy, innovation and entrepreneurship that Karnataka is famous for, will be central to ensuring we all recover from Covid-19 stronger than ever," he added.

Mangaluru, May 22: An elderly cardiac patient from Dakshina Kannada, who was stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lock-down, has finally reached his homeland thanks to the timely intervention by Humanity Forum Jubail and Indian Social Forum.

The elderly man hailing from Kadaba area of Dakshina Kannada was admitted to a hospital in Madinah. However, his condition continued to worsen due to lack of proper treatment. The efforts by his family members to bring him back home had not yielded results.

Meanwhile, one of the relatives of the patient, Ansari Suratkal, who happens to be a DKSC activist, brought the issue to the notice of the Karnataka unit of the Indian Social Forum in Dammam. ISF contacted Humanity Forum president Zakariya Jokatte, who helped the patient to speak directly union minister D V Sadananda Gowda in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com.

Humanity Forum also persuaded the Indian Embassy to allow the stranded cardiac patient to fly back to India through Dammam-Bengaluru repatriation flight on May 20. 

However, it was not easy for the patient to travel from Madinah to Dammam International Airport due to lock-down and curfew. ISF not only obtained travel permission for him but also arranged vehicle. Jeddah and Riyadh units of ISF helped in obtaining permission letter in their respective places in spite of travel ban imposed by the police. Madinah unit of ISF arranged vehicle for transportation. Zakariya Jokatte bore the air ticket and other expenses of the patient.
