Moodbidri, July 11: The villagers of Karinje in Moodbidri sought 20 days time to decide on giving their approval for the setting up of solid waste management unit at Marinjegudde in Moodbidri.

At a meeting with the TMC officials at Kodamanithaya Daivasthana on Sunday, it was decided to visit Alevoor and Kundapur to study solid waste management units. The date for the visit will be decided on next Sunday.

TMC Member Krishnaraj Hegde said the officials should not carry out any work in the land identified for the unit till the villagers give their nod. The villagers asked why solid waste management unit was not set up in 40 acre land acquired at Alangar. If there was a case in the court, the officials should have worked towards disposing off the case. The officials should come to Karinje after solving the problems created by the solid waste unit at Vamanjoor.

Karinje Kshethra seer Mukthananda Swamy said: “We will not allow the setting up of the unit without the permission from the villagers.”

TMC Vice-President Ramani warned of tendering resignation if the officials go ahead to set up the unit in spite of the opposition from the villagers.

DC meet

Deputy Commissioner Dr Channappa Gowda said that solid waste management unit at Marinjegudde near Karinje in Moodbidri will be set up in a scientific way.

Interacting with the TMC members and the villagers following the villagers opposing the move to start solid waste management unit, he said the Supreme Court order of 2002 stated that all the local bodies should maintain solid waste management units without harming the environment. However, Dakshina Kannada is lagging behind in following the order of the Supreme Court.

The district administration has to submit a report to the court on the measures taken to set up solid waste management units before December, DC said. TMC Member Krishnaraj Hegde said: “We are worried over dumping yard at Vamanjoor. The district administration was responsible for the various problems posed by the unit.”

Bengaluru, Jan 18: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "flag-bearer" of the Indian culture and tradition.

In his speech at an event organised by Vedanta Bharati here, Shah said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is touring across the globe as the flag bearer of the Indian culture and tradition." To buttress his point, the BJP National President said Modi took a holy dip in Ganga and attended Ganga Arati in Varanasi before taking oath as the Prime Minister.

It was for the first time that Modi sent red sander to Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal to perform special prayers on behalf of the government of India.

Shah also slammed the previous governments for their wrong interpretation of secularism, preventing them from honouring the best things of the country. "But after a long interval we have a Prime Minister who sends across the message that we have a lot to give to the world," Shah said.

Bengaluru, May 22: Amid the fourth phase of nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, inter-state travel from Karnataka is now permitted with the consent of the receiving state, informed Praveen Sood, Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) and Inspector General (IG).

"Inter-state pass is not required to go out of Karnataka as long as you have the consent of the receiving state," he said.

The order follows MHA's recent announcement of relaxed guidelines amid the nationwide lockdown.

"Due to lockdown, migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons are stranded at different places. They would be allowed to move as under," read the new guidelines while asking states to designate nodal authorities to facilitate the interstate movement.

The Centre has extended the lockdown till May 31 across the country.

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.
