Udupi, January 9: A delegation of Tulunadu Rakshana Vedike met the Deputy Commissioner of Udupi here seeking compensation and justice to a 23-year-old labourer who had suffered burns following an explosion in the factory where he was working.

Ashfaq, son of Abdul Rehman, a resident of Koteshwar in Kundapur had been working at Cooling Technique Refrigerator and Air Condition factory in BTM Layout in Bangalore. On December 19 Ashfaq along with four others were injured in an explosion in the factory.

Since Asfhaq had sustained severe burns he was admitted at the Victoria Hospital. Since the factory owners and management did not pay enough attention to the issue, he was brought to Udupi by his parents and admitted at the local hospital.

The apathy and negligent attitude of the factory owners compelled the injured labourer's parents to seek the help of Tulunadu Rakshana Vedike.

The delegation of the Vedike, led by Yogish Shetty Jeppu and convenor of the women's wing Jyotika Jain, met Dr. M.T. Reju and apprised him of the situation.

The delegation has requested the authorities to guarantee necessary compensation from the factory management. They have also demanded action against the factory management for their apathy towards the injured worker and also for not providing safety gears to the workers.

Nisar Inoli, Siraj Hussain, Nazeer Kundapur, among others, were part of the delegation.

 Bengaluru, Jan 12: Two pilgrims from Bengaluru, who were siblings, drowned in sea off Auro Beach in Puducherry today.

The deceased have been identified as V Gauthman, 22, and his brother Vivek, 20.

Gauthman and Vivek were among a group of around 150 devotees from Bengaluru to the Adhiparasakhi temple at Melmaruvathur in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu. They started their journey from Bengaluru in three buses on Friday.

After offering special puja at Adhiparasakthi temple and worshipping at a few other temples, they reached Auro Beach on Sunday afternoon. 

While they were having lunch on the beach, Gauthman entered the sea. He was caught in a huge wave.

Vivek, who tried to rescue his brother, too was caught in the wave.

Other pilgrims and fishermen began to search for them in fishing boats.

After an hour, their bodies were washed ashore, around two km from the spot.
