Mangalore, June 16: The hard work of children of police personnel serving under the limits of Dakshina Kannada rural district and Mangalore City Commissionerate was paid off when they got scholarship on Thursday at the auditorium of City Police Commissionerate here, courtesy entrepreneur and philanthropist Ronald Colaco.

As many as 11 PUC and 26 SSLC academically bright children took home scholarships ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 50, 000 to pursue their future education.

Speaking on the occasion, Ronald Colaco said that it was his way of service for the policemen who are overburdened with the responsibility of maintaining law and order in the society round the clock.

He said that there was a need to pay attention to the problem of police personnel. “This is one of the ways to recognise the tireless efforts, the police put in to serve the people at large,” he opined.

He said hitherto, it was Bangalore city police that benefited from his philanthropic streak, which started with remodelling the Fraser Town Police station.

Calling upon the corporate entity to come forward to extend their support to the policemen, he said the infrastructure upgradation in police stations pave the way to the drastic changes in behaviour of the police.

More than 500 schoolbags along with the stationery materials were distributed among the students.

Alok Mohan, IGP (Western Range), Labhu Ram, Superintendent of Police, DK rural district, Prabhakar, Additional SP, M Muthuraya, DCP (Law & Order) were present.

Seemanth Kumar Singh, City Police Commissioner welcomed the gathering.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: To deal with the problem of animal waste and illegal slaughterhouses in Bengaluru, Mayor M Gowtham Kumar held discussions with concerned departments and consultants to devise a strategy.

Speaking to ANI, Kumar said, "There are some illegal slaughterhouses in and around Bengaluru. We had a discussion with our Special Commissioner (Health) and Chief Health Officer (CHO) also to take up necessary action. We had a discussion last week also."

He also stated that a program has been framed to find illegal slaughterhouses and to shift animal waste generated every day.

"We have framed a program to find illegal slaughterhouses and design them properly. We have planned with our consultants that for the animal waste generated daily, we need four compactors to shift it either to Hoskote or another place that we have identified. We are on it", he said.

The segregation of animal waste and illegal slaughterhouses has been a continued issue in the Bengaluru civic area, a relief from which is expected after the implementation of proposed steps.
