Mangalore, August 25: A photographer of 'Coastaldigest.com' and 'Coastal Mirror' sustained eye injuries due to cracker burst on the stage at TMA Pai Auditorium in the city on Saturday.

The incident occurred when photographer Suresh Vamanjoor had been covering the inaugural ceremony of 'StateCon 2012' convention of Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI), which was inaugurated by Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar.

Crackers filled with coloured paper bits exploded with force at the very spot where the group of media photographers was capturing the official inauguration by Mr Shettar.

Although the burst took all the photographers by surprise, two among them were unlucky to sustain injuries. While Mr Vamanjoor sustained eye injuries, Sudharkar Yermal of 'Vijaya Karnataka' Kannada daily also sustained minor injuries below his ear.

Mr Vamanjoor was immediately rushed to an eye hospital in Ballalbagh and later shifted to Government Wenlock Hospital.

As soon as the news reached, Minister for Karnaraka Urban Development Suresh Kumar and Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat visited the hospital and assured to take action against the concerned people.

Mr Vamanjoor told the minister that the burst had taken place even after he and other photographers had asked the event manager not to do so.

The minister, who was also present in the inaugural ceremony of the CREDAI convention, said that he had not been aware of the cracker burst plan. He requested the doctor on-duty at Wenlock Hospital to send him the details by Monday.

Both the photographers filed a complaint with Barke Police Station against the organisers.
