Mangalore, November 10: Students of degree and post-graduate colleges belonging to Mangalore University All College Students' Association (ACSA) staged a day-long hunger strike demanding high level investigation from the police department in Soujanya rape-murder case and Deepika's death due to medical negligence.

 

Speaking on the occasion, ACSA legal advisor Dinakar Shetty said that the police had been ineffective in conducting proper investigations in the cases of Deepika and Soujanya.

 

CBI investigation is necessary in the case of Soujanya, so that a clear and transparent investigation is done, and the real culprits are nabbed. Suspicions of the locals contend involvement of two others in the murder, who should be nabbed. As per the details given by Superintendent of Police, there hasn't been a clear picture of the case and its course of investigation. A memorandum will be submitted to the State government through the Deputy Commissioner urging for a CBI investigation, he said.

 

As for the case of Deepika, so far only one accused Dr Vijaykumar of J S Hospital has been arrested for medical negligence, while there were others equally responsible for her death. No action on the accused female doctor and other staff was taken even after a memorandum was submitted to Ullal police station. We urge the concerned police that the other accused mentioned in the complaint also be arrested and interrogated, he said.

 

A memorandum will be submitted to the Commissioner of Police via DC regarding this, he said.

 

Association president Uttam Alva, PG Association president Prateek J P and other student leaders Shipal Raj, Rahul Raj Prakash, Karthik Nayak, Nagarjuna, Anola K J, Nithin Mada, Akshat K, Balraj Shetty, Abhishek B Shetty, Ashwat Kottari and Gautam Brahmavar took part in the hunger strike from 8.30 am to 5 pm.

Tumkur, Jun 2: Karnataka Agriculture Minister BC Patil on Monday said that state will not be affected due to locust swarm as it has moved to other states.

"There will be no effect as locust insects diverted to other states after they came from Pakistan. We were also worried and were prepared to face it, luckily we will not be affected by insects," he said.

Locust is a type of grasshoppers and moves in large numbers and devastates crops. Several parts of Rajasthan including Ganganagar have reported locust attacks.

There is a prediction of another attack in June this year.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.
