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.

Madikeri, Mar 29: In an alarming situation in neighbouring Kerala State and instances of inter-state migration of Coronavirus suspects, the authorities on Sunday sealed both Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu borders, prohibiting entry of people from Kerala into Karnataka.

Dakshina Kannada had sealed its borders after repeated instances of people misusing ambulance services to travel to Mangalore. Villagers along with the police hauled mud on to the roads that were used as alternate routes.

The road that connects the two States, which people from east Kasargod used to enter into Karnataka, were closed at Mulleria by dumping mud on the road.
