August 5, 2016

Mangaluru, Aug 5: The coastal city's one of the busiest roads near Town Hall would soon have a state-of-the-art skywalk to ease the pedestrian rush, if everything goes as expected.

1skywalk Mangaluru City South MLA J R Lobo, who on Friday along with the authorities of Coastal Development Authority (CDA), inspected the potential site where the proposed skywalk is proposed to be set up, told Coastaldigest.com that the new structure will be the first of its kind in the region.

The proposed construction would be a joint venture by CDA and Mangaluru City Corporation, he said hoping that it would ensure free flow of traffic, which is impeded on account of pedestrians striving to cross the four lane road near Town Hall.

The 1.5 crore skywalk with two high-tech escalator will connect the side of Town Hall with the road leading to Mangaluru Central Railway Station, he said.

Mr Lobo said that already CDA has sanctioned Rs 78 lakh for the project, while MCC may bear 5% of the project cost if it's proposal approved by the Council.

He said that skywalk without escalators skywalk sans escalators in many cities across India as people always prefer shortcut and refuse to climb stairs. Hence a considerable amount in the total budget will be spent for escalators, he said. (picture for illustration purposes only).

Cong never took firm stand over Ram Mandir fearing loss of Muslim or Hindu votes: BJP

News Network

August 8,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Congress is confused on the Ram Mandir issue and in dilemma to take a firm stand fearing loss of Muslim or Hindu votes, according to BJP leader and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.

"Congress opposed BJP's stand on constructing Ram Mandir in Ayodya, it called Lord Ram fictional and even decided to break the Ramsetu. Now, Congressmen are speaking the other way. Congress cannot think beyond vote bank politics which is in its DNA itself. Congressmen think that they are born to be in power," he said while speaking to media persons.

He said that BJP is all for constructing a grand Ram Mandir peacefully and legally, due to its conviction and not for politics. Same was the case with the revocation of Article 370 for Jammu & Kashmir. Anti-national activities have comparatively come down now.

Some people do not want everything going smoothly in the country, and Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi are among them, Joshi opined, adding that the Congress is merely frustrated.

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.
