Mangalore, July 6: Now, Mangaloreans will have their own unique identity number as the enrollment for biometric unique identity (UID) card, an initiative of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), was launched here on Wednesday at Mangalore Head Post office at Pandeshwar here in the first phase by Additional Deputy Commissioner Prabhakar Sharma.

Mr Sharma launched the scheme by handing over acknowledgement slip of UID to Ln JK Rao, District Governor of Lions Club.

Speaking on the occasion, Sharma suggested the officers of Postal department to take much care while entering data of individuals. The much ambitious UID project will be helpful for the development, security concerns and integrity of the country, he added.

Senior Superintendent of Mangalore Postal Division TG Nayak said that the service will be extended to Kulashekhar, Kankanady and Ullal in the second phase, and in the third phase, the service will be available at Hampankatta, Kodialbail, Kankanady and Bejai.

Further, it will be extended to Ashoknagar, Panambur, Surathkal, Mulky, Haleyangady, Kinnigoli, Bajpe, Carstreet, Katipalla, Munkur and Gunjimutt, he said.

Explaining the purpose and issuance of UID, Mr Nayak said that the UID scheme aimed at issuing a random 10-digit alphanumeric identity number to every Indian citizen. This identification number will be stored in a centralized database and linked to the basic demographic and biometric details of the holder.

Every individual interested in getting a UID card can collect the application form from post office.

The applicant will have to present address proof, identity proof (passport, PAN card, driving licence, ration card, voter-ID card). The verifier will check the documents. This will be followed by iris (eye ball) scanning and fingerprints of all 10 fingers. Then these details would be matched the details of the already enrolled UID holders via centralized server and after de-duplication (process of confirming that the same person does not get two UID cards) the applicant will get his UID card delivered at his address. The card is being issued free of cost as per the Union government notifications.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Days after 10 MLAs were inducted in the Cabinet, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is likely to expand his Cabinet again as some BJP MLAs are unhappy, said BJP sources.

Several leaders including Umesh Katti, CP Yogeshwar, Raju Gowda and MP Renukacharya are miffed over the recent cabinet expansion, claim sources.

On February 6, ST Somashekar, Ramesh Laxmanrao Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, BA (Byrathi) Basavaraj, Arabail Hebbar Shivaram, Hasavanagowda C Patil, K Gopalaiah, Narayana Gowda and Shrimant Balasaheb Patil took oath as ministers.

It should be noted that many MLAs had won the by-polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in December last year after switching loyalties from the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) and Congress.

In the December 5 by-polls held in 15 Assembly constituencies, the BJP had won 12, while Congress managed to bag only two. One seat was won by an Independent candidate while the JDS drew a blank.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: The city police commissioner Bhaskar Rao has ordered a special inquiry by the additional commissioner in connection with sexual harassment on a girl hailing from Kasaragod and the allegation that there were attempts to convert her to another religion.

Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje on Sunday met Rao along with the girl and gave a complaint that two youths from Kasargod had raped her and forced her to convert to their religion.

A complaint has been filed in the Kasargod police station, but no action has been taken against them. Since both the accused work in Electronics City police station jurisdiction, she urged the police to arrest them.

Rao said he was yet to gather information about the case and he had directed the additional commissioner to conduct a preliminary investigation and submit a report.

After filing a complaint, Shobha told reporters that she has been sexually harassed ever since she was a minor. 

The MP said that the girl, who was brought from Kasaragod to Electronics City, where the accused youths run a business, was allegedly raped. “I have asked the Police Commissioner to direct the Electronics City police to register an FIR and arrest the youths,” she said.

“I have spoken to the survivor and she said that the youths were also forcing her to convert to Islam and threatened her with dire consequences if she did not,” the MP alleged.

Shobha went on to claim that there was a gang that could be operating to forcibly convert Hindu women to Islam. She also met Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa along with the girl’s family members and gave a petition.
