Mangalore, October 21: Mangalore City Police and Dakshina Kannada district police jointly observed the police commemoration day at the police memorial site of District Armed Reserve premises here on Friday in memory of the 636 police and paramilitary personnel from throughout the country who laid down their lives in the line of duty during the previous year.

The names of all of them including 10 police personnel from Karnataka were read out on the occasion.

The tradition began in 1960 to salute the deaths of 10 members of a small patrolling party of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), who laid down their lives in an attack by the Chinese at Hot Springs, near Aksai Chin on October 21, 1959.

As part of the ceremony the police flag was flown at half mast and a police patrol fired three rounds in the air.

Addressing the gathering, Deputy Commissioner N S Channnappa Gowda said that the policemen have to discharge their duties in unusual conditions and circumstances where the element of risk is much more than for the common man. Therefore, basic amenities like healthcare, proper accommodation should be provided to police community, he said.

Chief Guest Prof T C Shivashankara Murthy, Vice Chancellor of Mangalore University said that hot pursuit of criminals, combating armed miscreants and terrorists and deployment in rescue operations leave the policemen exposed to high risk and the men in khaki brave these conditions undeterred even if they have to give their life.

He said since education and police departments are substantial for a healthy society, both the departments are equally important.

IGP (Western Range) Alok Mohan, City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh, SP Laburam, Additional SP Prabhakar, KSRP Commander Ramdas Gowda, Homeguard Commandant Nidarsh Hegde, MLC Ganesh Karnik, District Information Director Rohini K, Zilla Panchayat CEO Dr K N Vijayprakash, , NMPT Vice President T S N Moorthy and others were present.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
