Mangaluru: Modi welcome banner puts citizens in danger

Mangaluru, Oct 28: With the Prime Minister Narendra Modi making his first ever visit to participate in a programme in Dakshina Kannada on October 29, the local BJP party workers seem to have gone hyper in their enthusiasm to draw their leader’s attention.

In the process they have thrown caution to the winds while painting the town saffron with the welcome banners and buntings.

This flex board, for example which is installed at Kasibettu on the Mangaluru-Belthangady Highway is clearly putting the citizens in danger as it is tied to a road safety signboard.

The warning sign is installed along a dangerous curve in the road to caution road users to slow down and watch their wheels. But those who have put up this board on behalf of Ranjan G. Gowda, President of BJP Belthangady Unit seem to have no concern for road safety.

One can only hope this will not result in a tragedy to innocent people due to the recklessness of a few.

Mangaluru, Jun 14: In a fresh case of vigilante attack, a cattle trader was tied to a buffalo-laden vehicle and thrashed by the miscreants belonging to Bajrang Dal in the city today. 

The victim has been identified as Mohammad Haneef Guddemane (34), a resident of Jokatte village on the outskirts of the city. 

The attack took place in the early morning near Infosys office at Urva, when Haneef was transporting his four buffalos to Kudroli slaughter house.

The police also took the victim to hospital and subjected him to covid test before producing him before a local judge.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

Mysuru, Feb 26: The Pre-University Education Department was taking several measures to prevent paper leaks during the II PU examinations, scheduled to commence from March 4, a statement said on Tuesday.

Among the few measures that the board has chalked out, students would not be allowed to leave the examination hall till the last bell. In case of any emergency, the student could leave the exam hall but s/he would be required to surrender the question paper to authorities in the hall.

This is being done to ensure question papers aren’t circulated during exam hours by those who exit the hall before the last bell.
