bhatkalBhatkal, August 24: In a gut-wrenching tragedy a young Imaam and religious teacher of a Masjid drowned off the Jaali beach in Bhatkal on Thursday evening.

The deceased has been identified as Maulana Mohammed Ismail Ruknuddin (35), a resident of Bhatkal Magdoom Colony, who was serving as a teacher in Magdoom Colony Madrasa Dar-ut-Taleem-wa-Tarbiya from past four years. Affectionately called as 'Ismail Janab', he was also the part time Imaam of Maqdoom Colony Jamia Masjid. He was also an expert swimmer and a sports man. He is survived by his wife, a daughter and a large number of relatives, friends and students.

The incident occurred at around 5:30 pm when a group of around 15 people had been to beach for picnic. Three among them stepped into the sea for a swim.

As all the three were good swimmers, they went quite farther away into the sea. “We had gone to such a distance in the sea that our feet were unable touch the ground. Whe we decided to turn back we had to face strong waves. When we reached near the shore after lot of struggle, Ismail Janab lost balance and recited the Shahadah 'La ilaha Illalla'. Within a few seconds he was disappeared”, said one among the survivors.

As soon as the news began to spread, hundreds of people gathered on the beach. Though the companions, local swimmers and fishermen immediately launched a search operation for Ismail, they could not trace him till night. It took more than two hours for coastal security police to reach the spot.

Bhatkal DYSP M Naryan and CPI Shiv Prakash along with a team pf police arrived at the spot at around 7:30 pm.

Shivamogga, Feb 4: Students of a government primary school which is built especially for the children of manual scavengers, have been facing tough times during classes as the filthy drainage passing through the school premises excrete human excreta and sludge.

The drainage passes through GSPL Scavenger's Colony School in Shivamogga city, located behind the state road transport corporation's bus stand (KSRTC).

According to the locals here, students studying in this school often fall sick due to the waste flowing from the drainage.

Penchelayya, the father of a child who studies in the same school said, "Human excreta floats in the drainage as it is connected to two toilets. The school stinks and students often fall sick due to the drainage."

The students studying here are unable to bear the foul smell emanating from the drainage which flows at the school's premises.

He added that waste from private bus stands is dumped in this drainage which ultimately flows here creating an extremely unhygienic environment for the people living here and students studying in this school.

He further claimed that the government is not ready to listen to their grievances.

Dubai, May 5: Saudi Arabian prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a Saudi citizen for insulting an Asian expatriate and abusing him for not embracing Islam.

A video went viral online showing the expat, apparently with little knowledge of the Arabic language, being insulated by an Arabic-speaking man who does not appear in the clip, for having not embraced Islam and for not fasting.

A monitoring centre affiliated with the public prosecution examined the video the content of which “shows the citizen’s use of abusive words against the Asian resident on the pretext of inviting him to Islam,” the prosecution source said.

“The public prosecution closely follows up whatever infringes rights of citizens and residents including harm to their dignity and legal rights regardless of pretexts of such infringement,” the source added.
