Kundapur, June 7: Home Minister R Ashoka has assured that he would bring the issue of sea erosion to the notice of the Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda.

Speaking to media persons during his visit to Kundapur to take part in the Legislative Council poll campaiagn on Wednesday, Mr Ashok said that his government would take immediate measures to check the sea erosion across Karnataka.

After paying a visit to erosion prone areas in Kundapur, he said that government would release emergency relief in this regard.

Mr Ashok also said that the government still abides by its statement of its preparedness to hold peace talks with those naxals who wish to come to the mainstream.

Special package has already been announced to meet the future needs of such naxals. However, the government will not step back from taking legal action against those naxals who believe in violence rather than peace talks, he said.

The information obtained reveals that the naxls in Karnataka are not recieving the expected support and there are hardly 15-20 locals in the Karnataka's naxal team, whereas the rest of the teammates are from Tamilnadu and other states. The Department is well aware of the activities going on in the naxal team and the Police will carry out a well-planned operation agianst them, warned the Minister.

The Department will take measures to fill 18,000 vacancy posts in the Police Department. The government has already taken decision to open separate cells in all the district head quarters to address the police atrocity cases.

“The Police Department will take stern action against the unwanted forces for maintaining law and order in the State. A memerandum has been submitted to the Central government to improvise the coastal security force,” he said.

Davanagere, Jan 16: Congress leader D K Shivakumar on Thursday turned down all the recent media reports of him aspiring for the coveted Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committe (KPCC) president post.

Terming all the news, doing rounds, as baseless, Shivakumar said that he never made any attempt to become KPCC president. "All I want to do is work for my people and party", he asserted.

Referring to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's visit to Harihar's 'Our Lady of Health Minor Basilica' programme, Shivakumar said."I'm not concerned about what others are doing, everyone is free to take part in the programmes."

Bengaluru, Jan 6: There is a wide spread criticism by the Janata Dal(S) and Congress leaders over a proposal to rename Ramanagaram district as New (Nava) Bengaluru, Karnataka Chief Minister CM Yediyurappa said on Monday.

“An unnecessary discussion on renaming Ramanagaram is under way. There is no thought before the government over renaming," The CM accused the Congress and JD(S) leaders of indulging in baseless discussion to mislead the people and to remain relevant. "There is no such agenda before the government. It is a joke that JD(S) and Congress leaders are starting a fight over it.”

The Chief Minister’s clarification came after criticism by former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, who carved out the Ramanagaram district when he was Chief Minister, and former Minister DK Shivakumar whose Kanakapura constituency is in Ramanagaram district, after Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan said Ramanagaram could be renamed as Nava Bengaluru to increase investments prospects.
