nellikunnu KKasaragod, My 19: The sitting MLA NA Nellikkunnu of the Indian Union Muslim League has managed to win the prestigious Kasaragod assembly constituency for the second consecutive term.

In spite of rigours campaign by BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah, their candidate Raveesha Thantri was defeated by the sitting MLA.

In 2011 Mr Nellikkunnu had defeated BJP's Jayalakshmi N Bhat with a convincing 9,738 votes margin in the 2011 polls. This time the BJP had surprised all by choosing Raveesha, the state vice-president of Hindu Aikya Vedi as its candidate.

Raveesha is the thantri (chief priest) for 63 temples in Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod, and is a patron of district temple protection committee. The RSS leadership had hoped that he would have good stead in the elections.

The Kasaragod Assembly segment has been witnessing one-to-one fight between the IUML and the BJP with the former winning the 10 elections in a row since 1977.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even as the coastal city entered third phase of lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19, a wild bison was spotted in Mangaluru today. 

According to sources, local residents at Hathill area and Mannagudda area spotted bison. It is not sure whether it was the same bison or two different bison.

Some reports claimed that it was spotted in Kudroli area too triggering panic among people. 

With the help of local residents and police, the forest officials managed to catch the bison around noon. 

It is assumed that the wild animal must have come to the city as there was less movement of people and vehicle due to lockdown for past few weeks.
