Cattle issue: Take steps now to avoid repeat of communal violence, warn VHP, BD

April 7, 2012

Mangalore, April 7: The city units of Bajarang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad have demanded that immediate steps be taken by the district administration and police to stop illegal transportation and slaughter of cows to avoid a repeat of communal violence in the region.

Addressing mediapersons at a press briefing in Mangalore on Saturday, Sharan Pumpwell, Convenor, Bajarang Dal city unit, said that illegal cow transportation had triggered communal violence in 2006, as a result of which Mangalore had suffered for an entire week. “It is our direct warning to the authorities that if they do not want such unrest again, they should take immediate steps to check illegal cow transportation. The police and the district administration are very much capable of stopping such activities. They say they don't get messages about the illegal transportation. When we can get prior information, why can't they? ” Mr. Pumpwell questioned.

Krishna Moorthy, Divisional Secretary, Vishwa Hindu Parishad said that certain rules are in place underlining the maximum number of cattle that can be transported in a vehicle. “But by transporting cows in excessive numbers, laws are being violated. In spite of a number of appeals, the district administration has not addressed the issue. Even in the MCC, tender processes and renewing of licenses for some slaughter houses has begun to appease a few”, he disclosed.

Mr. Moorthy said that majority Hindus revere cows as a holy animal and that their sentiments must be respected. “The number of cows in the country is decreasing day by day. The Bill drafted by the state government is with the President of India. With the approval of the Bill tougher measures against such anti-nationals could be taken”, he said.

Earlier today, about 18 cattle died after a 407 tempo transporting cattle turned turtle near Kottara Chowki.

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.
