Mangaluru, Jul 10: The Bharatiya Janta Party has urged the police to release the ‘innocent’ Hindus who were arrested following tension at B C Road on Saturday.

brijeshAddressing a press meet, Dakshina Kannada BJP unit general secretary Capt Brijesh Chowta said that the vehicle carrying the body of RSS worker Sharath, who succumbed to injuries, passed peacefully till Kaikamba in BC Road.

“Miscreants from different community pelted stones at the funeral procession at Kaikamba. Unfortunately police arrested some innocents,” he claimed.

He charged that the money raised through illegal cow transportation, sand and drug mafia, is used for funding such illegal activities in the district.

Chowta demanded the resignation of District In-Charge Minister B Ramanath Rai for failing to discharge his responsibility and thus, help in restoring peace in the region. The minister and Congress MLAs should stop interfering in the police department’s affairs and give the police free hand to maintain law and order, he said.

He accused Rai of backing SDPI, PFI and KFD to disrupt peace and urged the government to take measures to ban those organisations. In fact, the Congress-led government is withdrawing all criminal cases against SDPI, PFI and KFD and has given them a boost to take up such untoward incidents in the district, Chowta charged.

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.

Mangaluru, Feb 13: After pro-Kannada outfits called for a state-wide bandh today, the police are on high-alert to avoid any untoward incidents.

The dawn to dusk bandh was called demanding implementation of Sarojini Mahishi report which recommended certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in private & public sector companies.

There is no official holiday declared for schools and colleges. Besides, all government institutions and private establishments are open.

But, in some parts of Karnataka, autorickshaws and taxis, including Ola and Uber stayed off the roads.

Even though the bandh is unlikely to hit normal life in coastal Karnataka, stones were pelted on a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
