Mangaluru: Nearly 200 conductors booked for not issuing tickets

Mangaluru, Aug 4: Cases were slapped against as many as 193 conductors by the Mangaluru City Traffic Police in a single day for not issuing tickets to passengers. The cops also collected a fine of Rs 19,300 through Friday’s operation.

The unexpected action was a fallout of the weekly phone-in programme of City Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh, wherein many callers used to complain about non-issue of tickets by conductors and their rude behaviour. This Friday too, Mr. Suresh heard a couple of complaints on this issue.

Having promised to crack the whip against errant conductors last week, Mr. Suresh directed MCTP to immediately take action, which should be done at regular intervals. He also asked traffic police to take the help of civil police in the operation.

Almost one-third of complaints received, during the phone-in programme, pertained to Route No. 15 and its sub-numbers plying between Mangaladevi and Surathkal and beyond.

Though there are allegations that bus owners, with permits, have sub-leased the buses to the crew on fixed daily payment, neither the transport department nor the MCTP have taken any action against the illegal practice.

A caller from Jeppu complained that these buses instead of plying via Morgan’s Gate directly reach Mangaladevi via Marnamikatte.

Another caller complained about shrill horns being used and the overspeeding of these buses while one more caller rued about non issue of tickets.

The Commissioner promised stringent action on all complaints.

A caller from Kadri had a list of complaints and suggestions, including the free-left turn at Vas Bakery Junction near St. Agnes being occupied by parked vehicles; vehicle parking on the road at Kankanadi and Balmatta Juice Junction; vehicles being driven on the wrong-direction to reach Kadri petrol pump etc. The Commissioner promised to attend them.

Another caller rued about city buses halting on the main road on either side of the Railway level crossing at Pandeshwara blocking movement of other vehicles and pedestrians.

Shaheen school sedition case: Cops question kids again and again

News Network

February 5,2020

Bidar, Feb 5: The police has intensified investigation into the 'sedition case' against the management and staff of a school here, where children are facing chare of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others, in the context of CAA, in a drama they staged on January 21.

The police again visited Shaheen School on Tuesday and questioned children and staff -- this time in plain clothes, after their questioning of children in uniform on January 28 drew criticism from some quarters, a school official said.

"Morning three police personnel came with two members of Karnataka State Child Rights Protection Commission. Later, the deputy superintendent of police H Basaveshwara joined them.

The cops were in civil dress," the official said.

The police have been questioning the children and staff about those who wrote the script and assigned to deliver specific dialogues.

Police have already arrested Nazbunnisa, the mother of one of the children, who had allegedly delivered the controversial dialogue and their teacher Fareeda Begum, who oversaw the event.

When contacted, the deputy superintendent of police of Bidar H Basaveshwara refused to comment on the matter saying that he was still investigating the case.

Meanwhile in Bengaluru, Congress MLA and former minister U T Khader slammed the BJP government in the state as well as the Centre for "filing sedition charges against people".

Addressing a press conference, he alleged that the Central and state governments were trying to suppress the voice of people in the country using law enforcement agencies.

Khader claimed that the two women who "depicted the problems they were facing" in the drama were booked under the sedition law. During investigation, the children were forced to sit at the police station, he alleged.
