June 20, 2011

Mangalore, June 20: Sanitation should be a matter of utmost prominence for all Gram Panchayats, said District-in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Karnataka State Sanitation Award for 2009-10 ceremony organised under the joint auspices of State Water and Sanitary Mission, Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat at Nethravathi Auditorium in the city on Monday.

Mr Palemar, who also holds the environment portfolio, said that the state government is mulling to constitute a new 'environment award' like sanitation award in order to promote public awareness about the environment.

DK Zilla Panchayat has been awarded first place in state level for sanitation with the cash prize of Rs. 30 lakhs. Even though the award was announced in the month of March itself, certificates and cash prize was handed over in this ceremony.

Hosangadi taluk has won four awards at state level, division level, district level and taluk level respectively with a total prize amount of Rs 19 lakhs.

K T Shailaja Bhat, President, Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat, Mangalore presided over the function. MLAs Yogish Bhat and B Ramanath Rai were present on the occasion.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the murder case of journalist-activist Gauri, arrested absconding suspect Rushikesh Devdikar alias Murali (44) from Dhanbad district in Jharkhand on Thursday evening and is bringing him to the city.

Rushikesh is the 18th suspect arrested in the case, Chief Investigating Officer M N Anucheth said. The investigation has revealed that he was primarily involved in the conspiracy to murder Gauri.

Rushikesh, who was hiding in a house in Katras, Dhanbad, will be produced before the local Judicial Magistrate in Dhanbad on Friday, said Anucheth, adding that the SIT had searched his house for clues. "We will obtain a transit warrant from the court and then bring him to Bengaluru," the officer said.

Originally from Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Rushikesh's family still lives there.

Gauri Lankesh was shot dead near her residence at around 8.20 pm on September 5, 2017, by two bike-borne men.
