No impact of Karnataka bandh in Dakshina Kannada

October 6, 2012
Mangalore, October 6: Despite the support by various local organisations to the ongoing agitation against the release of Cauvery waters to Tamil Nadu, the Karnataka bandh did not evoke any response in the coastal district on Saturday.

 

The dawn-to-dusk 'Karnataka bandh' called by Kannada outfits has disrupted normal life in many parts of the state except the twin districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.

 

The normal life in this part of the state has once again proved that people of coast has no emotional connections with the Cauvery issue.

 

However, many organisations, including All College Students' Union, have lent a moral support to the cause by organising symbolic rasta roko and human chain protests.

 

All commercial establishments, schools, colleges, petrol bunks, malls and theatres remained open on Saturday.

 

Canara Bus Operators Association president Rajavarma Ballal said there was no move to stop bus services.

 

The DK Cinema Exhibitors Association has opposed the bandh. "We will lend the protest a moral support. We will close theatres only if there is a law and order problem, lest the show will go on,'' said Shankar Pai, secretary of the association.

 

DK and Udupi Petroleum Dealers Association president Aithappa Alva said there was no question of closing the bunks.

 

DK Hotel association president Kudpi Jagadeesh Shenoy said they were not ready to shut down restaurants.

 

Cauvery Horata Samithi president SP Chengappa also clarified that they would not impose bandh in this part.

 

Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) advisor Annayya Kulal said it was true that the people of the region don't have an emotional connect with Cauvery. "When the issue of Nethravathi river diversion comes up, we will need the support from the rest of the state. So all KRV members are going to Bangalore to take part in the protest," he added.

 

Deputy commissioner NS Channappa Gowda said no organization in the district had approached the district administration seeking permission to hold a bandh and there would not be any holiday for schools or colleges in the district.

 

"We will take a call depending on the situation. Only KRV has given a memorandum saying that they protest releasing of water to Tamil Nadu," DC said.

 

The Karnataka government began releasing 9000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu after the Supreme Court asked it to abide by the September 19 directive of the Cauvery River Authority, headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, till October 15.

Mangaluru, Jan 26: A 55-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly attacking his sister-in-law and her daughter with acid used to make rubber sheets in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, police said on Saturday.

The victim, a 35-year-old widow with three daughters, has been admitted to the government Wenlock Hospital here with severe burns. Her daughter, who suffered minor injuries, is also hospitalised.

In her complaint, the woman said her late husband's elder brother came to her house on Thursday, abused her in foul language before opening an acid bottle and throwing its contents at her through the window.

The woman suffered burn injuries on her face, neck and shoulders and her daughter on her legs and hands.

The victim's husband had taken a loan of Rs 5 lakh from a cooperative bank but died in 2018 after paying only two instalments and the woman could not repay it further.

The bank's notices kept coming to the elder sibling's address, which infuriated him. There was also a long-pending land dispute between the two, sources said.

Based on the woman's complaint, a case was registered on Friday and the man arrested soon after. Kadaba sub-inspector police Rukma Naik visited Wenlock

Hospital to record the woman's statement, police added.
