Mangaluru: MLA Mohiuddin Bava snubs road agitators, flies to Saudi Arabia

October 26, 2016

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.

bava The 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.

@ Saboor,

Of course ppl will not forget if he did any good work at all..and ppl will not forget if he did'nt listen to them..so its vice-versa. He may have done good work in other places but if you are really from kana pls let me know one good

Dear Ansari,

What you think about Moidin, and What leasson will teach in 2018 election. people will not forget what good work he did for his constitution. He did lots of job for public in Surathkal - Kana area.

So keep quiet in political field you don't know politics.

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...

Ms. Vidya, why Palemar was watching blue films in assembly if he is good....he should have utilized his time in assembly for the progress of people of our constituency....they are all disaster....and same....

welcome to Riyadh ;)

People of this constitute will teach good lesson at 2018 election.

We appreciate Coastal Digest for bringing all political leaders issue without any partiality or any group wise like other chaddi paper of rss member.

Keep it up Coastal Digest

Jai Hind

Hahaha. I wholeheartedly congratulate Coastaldigest.com team for bringing this issue to light. Keep it up. expose more bearys and stop peeping into RSS chaddi.

# 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.

He is good for photo ops!!

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.

Extending working hours will neither benefit industries nor workers: Karnataka govt

News Network

May 9,2020

Bengaluru, May 9: The Karnataka government may not extend the daily working hours from 8 to 12, with Labour Minister A Shivaram Hebbar saying on Saturday that the move would neither benefit the industries nor workers.

Hebbar said that the proposal has not been discussed and it may come for final deliberations next week. He also noted that some States have already extended the working hours. More than extending working hours, there should be employment to be given. If there are no jobs what can be done by extending working hours? If it is done (working hours extended to 12 hours), it would neither benefit workers nor industries. Let's see what happens, he said.

Asked if the government was in favour of the extension, he said, "I don't think it will be ready for the (12 hour) proposal." Meanwhile, the Minister also said that their top priority now was to see that all MSMEs start operating again, salaries are paid to employees and there are no job losses for any reason. If industries don't reopen, how can workers get their employment? We should think in parallel, Hebbar said adding, the government was keeping the interests of both MSMEs and workers in mind.

He urged the Centre to offer a relief package to the MSME sector, saying it is facing very difficult times due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19-induced lockdown, and also noting its role in generating large-scale employment and feeding large industries.

The BJP-led government has done whatever within its limitations to help the MSMEs, he said. Earlier this week, the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa announced that the monthly fixed charges of electricity bills of MSMEs would be waived for two months. MSMEs have suffered huge production losses due to the lockdown. It takes some time for them to revive, Yediyurappa had said. The Chief Minister had also said payment of fixed charges in the electricity bills of the large industries will be deferred without penalty and interest for a period of two months.

Thundershowers and gusty winds likely in parts of DK, Udupi, UK

News Network

July 1,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 1: The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert and forecasted heavy rains for three coastal districts and 12 more in the south interior Karnataka region, an official said on Tuesday afternoon.

"Thunderstorm with lightning is likely to occur at isolated places over south interior Karnataka from Tuesday to Wednesday," said a Met official.

For Bengaluru city, the Met department has forecast a generally cloudy sky with light rain for the next three days.

Coastal Karnataka -- Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts have been issued a yellow alert for the next two days with thundershowers and gusty winds.

Winds blowing at speed of 40-50 km per hour are expected on the coast and the Met department warned fishermen against venturing into the sea.

Meanwhile, heavy showers on Sunday night in Vijayapura district gave rise to flash floods in the Doni river and Sogali stream.

An overflowing Doni river submerged the Talikote - Hadaginal bridge, a remnant from the colonial era, and also submerged some agricultural lands. Only recently, these agricultural lands were sown with toor dal plants.

Similarly, many SSLC students also struggled to cross the bridge to reach their examination centres on Monday.

Many houses were also flooded due to the rainfall at Nalatwad and Talikote taluk. Muddebihal, Basavana Bagewadi and Sindagi taluks also witnessed heavy rainfall.

A 40-year-old farmer from Dharwad district was washed away in the Tuppari Halla stream, which is prone to flood during the monsoon season.

Likewise, a truck carrying cotton also got washed away in a stream in Yadgir district.

"There is an offshore trough and a circulation, because of which rain will continue in the coastal area. Only Malnad has not got sufficient rain this year. Probably after two days, Malnad may get some rains," Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) Director Srinivas Reddy said. Otherwise, entire state got normal rainfall, said Reddy, though it is not active over Malnad.
