Mangalore, December 25: Amittrajit Ghosh from Kolkata and co-driver Ashwin Naik from Mangalore emerged as overall winners of the Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) 2012, after the Maharashtra leg (Round 3) of the national rally was cancelled by the organisers due to failure to secure necessary permissions.

 

Finishing first in the Chikmagalur Rally (Round 2) in November earlier this year, Amittrajit Ghosh and Ashwin Naik topped the championship table with 51 points. With the Maharashtra Rally being cancelled, the racing duo from the MRF Team was declared champions by default in the Group N, 2000cc category. Lohitt Urs and co-driver Sujith Kumar were declared runners-up with 45 points followed by Karna Kadur and Somonitha Ghosh at 38.

 

The popular INRC run under the aegis of the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) was reduced to just two rounds this year - the Karnataka 1000 and the Coffee Day Rally. Earlier, the proposed Coorg Rally was also cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. The Rally of Maharashtra was to be the final round schedule to be held in the first week of January in Nasik, but was cancelled taking into account the feedback from competitors after the event was shifted from Ahmednagar (dirt terrain) to Nasik (tarmac).

 

Mangalorean Ashwin Naik has previously acquired titles such as winner of Desert Storm rally 2012, winner of SJOBA Sub Himalayan rally 2012, and winner of round 3 Thailand 4x4 rally. He is also the co-founder of Indian Motor Sports Club, along with another professional rally co-driver Musa Sherief.

Chmarajanagara, Feb 23: In order to control and keep a tab on the activities within the forest area and after the bitter experiences with frequent forest fires, like the one in Bandipur Tiger Reserve last year Karnataka Forest Department officials have decided to use drones to prevent the occurrences of such wildfires, and to use drones to nab trouble makers and take timely action to put out or prevent forest fires, especially during the summer season.

The department of forest has been working on using drones and setting up a centre in Mysuru or Chamarajanagar to monitor three crucial tiger reserves — Bandipur, Nagarhole, and BRT.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: On the first day of 2020, Bajpe Police became somewhat of a Guardian Angel for a college student, who was wandering around the city in the wee hours of Wednesday, convincing and escorting him to his home safely, after coming to know about his residence.

According to Bajpe Police Probationary Sub-Inspector Anita Nikkam and Police Officer Devappa Hosamani, they noticed a youth, hailing from Handelu in Todaru and studying in a college at Moodbidri, wandering at around 0245 hrs.

When asked about his whereabouts, the boy did not respond initially. However, police managed to collect his address and his mother's phone number after half an hour of interrogation.

Bengaluru, May 27: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday hit out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government for allegedly "betraying" the people by not fulfilling its Rs 1,610 crore COVID-19 package promise.

Taking a dig at Yediyurappa over the matter, the Congress leader tweeted, "Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa has betrayed people by not fulfilling his Rs 1,610 crore package promise. He seems to be following his @BJP4India leader @PMOIndia @narendramodi."

"Crisis and vulnerability should not be misused for political gains and BJP for India is insensitive towards the same," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.

On May 6, Yediyurappa had urged migrant workers to stay back as construction activities have resumed and announced a Rs 1,610 crores COVID-19 financial package for the state.

"A package of Rs 1,610 crores will be released as COVID-19 financial relief. One time compensation of Rs 5,000 will be given to 2,30,000 barbers and 7,75,000 drivers," the Chief Minister said.

Referring to media reports, Siddarmiah cornered the state government for asking the licence to release funds for unorganised sector workers.

"How can we expect washermen and other unorganised sector workers to have licence for their work?" he asked.

It looks like Karnataka Chief Minister is very far from reality, he added.
