Mangalore, April 7: About 18 cattle died after a 407 tempo toppled near Kottara Chowki on Saturday.

The incident took place earlier this morning when Bajrang Dal activists after receiving prior information about the vehicle transporting cattle illegally were following it. “We had prior information about the transportation and followed the vehicle. We informed the police too but by the time they could come, the accident had taken place” Sharan Pumpwell, President, DK Bajarang Dal unit told Coastaldigest.com.

One of the persons in the tempo has sustained injuries on his leg and has been admitted to Wenlock Hospital, Urwa police said. The others in the tempo fled and the police have begun their search.

The vehicle bearing the registration number KA 32 B 9909 was transporting 30 cows in all out of which 18 died due to the mishap.

Mr. Pumpwell told Coastaldigest.com that in spite of umpteenth appeals and requests, the police and district administration have failed to check illegal transportation and slaughter of cows in the region. “That is why we are tackling the issue ourselves. The issue of cow transportation and slaughter has caused communal violence in the region in the past too. If the authorities do not want such violence to repeat in the future, they must take steps to stop these illegal activities at the earliest”, Mr. Pumpwell said.

The police department on the other hand says that the city need not worry about worsening of law and order situation owing to the issue. “We are aware of the happenings and are prepared to tackle the situation. We will take care of the law and order situation” Mutthuraya, DCP (law and order) told Coastaldigest.com.

The incident has been condemned by DK Meat Traders' Association. Speaking to Coastaldigest.com Ali Hasan, President of the Association said that resorting to illegal means of transporting cattle is condemnable. “At the most one can transport 10-11 cattle. Mercilessly ill-treating cattle is not right. However, we also condemn the moral policing, no matter who does it. There is a system in place and a concerned department to voice grievances against. If people have problems, they should approach the concerned authorities and fight in a legal way”, Mr. Hasan said.

He also revealed that the state unit of the Association has been intimated about the happenings in the region and a meeting would be held in a couple of days' time on the issue.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
