Mangalore, December 12: Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) Alok Mohan, who is set to embark on higher studies abroad, has expressed satisfaction about his performance as the chief of policing operations in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Uttara Kannada districts.

In an informal interaction with journalists at his office in the city on Monday, Mr Mohan expressed his gratitude to the 'wise people' of the region for their overwhelming support and cooperation in maintaining law and order.

Mr Mohan said that the government has showed green signal for him to join Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) School of Public Policy at National University of Singapore to study 'Master in Public Management' (MPM).

The MPM programme is an exclusive one-year full time programme targeted at senior level executives from the public sector with over 10 years of leadership experience. It offers candidates a unique opportunity to spend the first semester studying at the LKY School and the second semester at the John F Kennedy School of Government (KSG), Harvard University.

The outgoing IGP said that the course is however a part of his job process and the Union government would bear all the expenses including air ticket.

He also informed that he was one among the four Indians, who were among 25 candidates selected for the course from across the world. “After successful completion of the course, I will be more capable of handling things” he said.

Mr Mohan, who had initiated his last task with a promise of 'people friendly policing', said that his mission to reduce gap between police and public has brought a remarkable change.

Crime Reduced

He also said that crime rate in the Western Range has been considerably reduced during his tenure.

The number of robbery cases which includes chain snatching was reduced this year to 56 compared to last year's 92 cases. The number of house theft cases too reduced from 81 to 53 within a year, he pointed out.

Pratap Reddy, the IGP in fire services, is expected to replace Alok Mohan as Western Range IGP soon.

Bengaluru, Mar 28: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar on Saturday appealed to the authorities to arrange transport for migrant workers, stating that it is appalling to see their plight as they are walking hundreds of kilometres to their villages amid COVID-19 lockdown.
"Appalling to see the plight of poor migrant workers who are walking hundreds of kms to their villages. We cannot abandon our citizens, especially children, and put them at risk. Appealing to the authorities to arrange transport. Please take sufficient safety precautions as well," Shivakumar tweeted.
Hundreds of people, comprising mostly of migrant workers and their families, gathered at the Lal Kua in Uttar Pradesh from Delhi, Gurugram and other places, to take buses to their respective destinations amid the lockdown.
While the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had imposed a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the Uttar Pradesh administration had decided to ply these buses to help thousands of migrant workers who were stuck in the national capital and had started returning on foot to their native places in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, among others.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.
