October 5, 2011

Mangalore, October 5: The inter-district anti corruption rally of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parisad on Tuesday culminated in the city with a considerable number of students holding a demonstration.

The rally, which commenced on September 28, was one of the four anti-corruption rallies organised by ABVP in the State, and encompassed Shimoga and Udupi district apart from Dakshina Kannada.

The campaigners began their march from Karnataka Polytechnic Circle and converged at Kadri Park.

Speaking on the occasion, Dharma Prasad, a Syndicate member from the Kuvempu University, said due to the corrupt policies of the Union government an amount of Rs 4 lakh crore from Indians was lying in foreign banks.

“The governments have allowed a select few to exploit our natural resources and hoard their income in foreign banks”, he said and added: “If we bring back this money, people of the country will be relieved of payment of taxes for a long time”

The speakers also criticized the commercialization of the education in the country.

During the seven-day rally, the ABVP activists travelled more than a thousand kilo metres covering around 50 prominent colleges of above three districts.

Mangaluru, May 8: Migrant workers, stranded in Karnataka due to lockdown, staged a protest on Friday at the Central Railway Station here, demanding to be sent back to their respective native places.

The workers demanded the state government to take measures and send them back to their homes.

Maintaining social distancing and covering their faces with masks, the workers were holding placards which read -- "We want to go home Jharkhand, We want justice and we want to go home."

They appealed to the state government to arrange trains and buses to ferry them to their native places and threatened to walk home if denied transport.

Several protests have erupted in different parts of the country, such as Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, as stranded labourers took to the roads demanding to be sent back home.

The Ministry of Home Affairs on May 1 had issued an order to extend the ongoing lockdown by two more weeks from May 4 with some relaxations.
