Bring Home Guards under the ambit of district administration'

August 13, 2012

Mangalore, August 13: Activists belonging to the district unit of Centre of Indian Trade Union (CITU) and Home Guard personnel observed a 24-hour fast in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office on August 13, urging the district administration to fulfill their various demands.

Leveling charges of corruption against Dr. Nidarsh D. Hegde, Commandant of Home Guards, Dakshina Kannada district, Lingappa Nanthoor, member of CITU, accused him of misusing funds allotted by the government. He said that atrocities continue to be carried out on the Home Guard employees in spite of the protest held by them on May 4, 2012.

“Even after protesting several times, the Home Guards authorities have not take any steps. We had approached the Bangalore Director General of Police and appealed to him. But none of our problems were resolved,” he said.

The government offers various facilities to the Home Guards but none of it reaches the workers. They have been deprived of their right. An eligible and worthy person should be appointed to the post of Commandant of Home Guards who would put an end to our problems, said Mr. Nanthoor.

The demands put forward by the protestors were increase of daily wages to Rs. 500, permanent jobs, provision of social security from government, issuance of ration cards to workers, arrangement of life insurance policy, security for women employees, proper allotment of duty hours, and provision of homes or quarters, pension, bus-passes, medical facilities, bus facility for night duty hours, uniforms, shoes, helmets, badges and rainwear to the workers.

They also demanded an end to the harassment meted out to them by Dr. Nidarsh Hegde, and also that the district Home Guards be brought under the administration of the Deputy Commissioner.

Netizens target BJP after video of Sangh Parivar ‘man’ in burqa goes viral

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts.

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.

April 19,2020

New Delhi, Apr 19: The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.

Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla issued an order excluding the non-essential items from sale by the e-commerce companies from the consolidated revised guidelines, which listed the exemption given to the services and people from the purview of the lockdown.

The order said the following clause -- "E-commerce companies. Vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions" -- is excluded from the guidelines.

The previous order had said such items were allowed for sale through e-commerce platforms from April 20.

However, the reason for reversing the order is not known immediately.
