Mangalore, June 29: Communist Party of India (CPI) led CITU and DYFI are playing a political gimmick by protesting against Mangalore City Corporation in the name of minority street vendors. They are not having any empathy with street vendors and are only trying to capitalize on the situation by protesting unconstitutionally, said Rahim Uchil, Honourary President, Mangaluru Alpa Sankhyaata Mattu Hindulida Beedi Badi Vyaparigala Sangha (R).

Addressing media persons here on Wednesday he said that protesting in front of MLA's house is nothing but a form of 'gundagiri' which will create more problems for the street vendors. He also blamed that in order to increase the number of protestors, CPI party is hiring people from Bijapur district who are not a part of this campaign.

This political group has collected the sum of Rs. 120 from each street vendor in order to continue their protest, he added.

Differentiating between street vendors and foot path vendors, he said that civic tiger squad is acting ruthlessly towards footpath vendors in which 90% of vendors belong to minority groups and their life has turned miserable.

However he admitted that the campaign of Civic Tiger cannot be questioned as they are working according to the law.

“Our organization had a discussion with district in charge minister and deputy commissioner, who have assured us to provide permanent solution for all our 40 street vendors (members of the organization) within two weeks and we have complete faith in the law and the constitution, said Rahim.

He also said that respecting the commitment made by the MCC, their organization has decided not to conduct any protest for next 10 days. “In case our demands are not met even after the deadline is over, then we will conduct the protest on the lines of Gandhian values”, he said.

President Ahmed Jamal, Secretary Riyaz Harekala and Joint Secretary Rakesh Thokottu were present at the meet.

Kozhikode, Jun 14: A mosque in Kuttichira of Kozhikode has found a unique way to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee that runs the mosque has started issuing smart cards to people for offering prayers and simultaneously encouraging social distancing.

"The committee has given smart cards with numbers to the people in the surroundings of the Masjid. One who enters the mosque premises has to rub their hands with sanitizers. They also have to tell their identity on camera. The automatic system has been put in place to save the address and phone number. Next time onwards they have to say their smart card number only so that other details will be automatically filled," said Muhammad Sajjad, who is part of the Mosque committee.

"The door of the mosque will open automatically after swiping the card. We have fit in a sensor on the doors. We have also made marks inside the mosque area so that people can abide by social distancing norm," he added.

A couple of days back the Kerala government has rolled out an order allowing the opening of places of worship, malls and restaurants from June 9 in strict accordance with guidelines and social distancing norms. As per the guidelines, pregnant women and those with co-morbidities should not visit any places of worship. Those with symptoms should not be allowed.
