Puttur: Several injured in clash between SKSSF and SSF activists

February 18, 2014

Puttur, Feb 18: The intermittent group clashes between two Sunni students' groups spilt over to Puttur with both organisations accusing members of the other of assaulting them at a masjid in Kedila village, Puttur taluk.

Three of the injured have been identified as Sahul Hameed (29), Shimshar (18) and Shabeed (18). They are undergoing treatment at a private hospital at Puttur.

The incident was reported near the Galimukha mosque on February 16, Sunday.

Around 7.30 p.m., members of the Sunni Students' Federation (SSF) and Samastha Kerala Sunni Students Federation (SKSSF) got into a fist fight in the premises of the BTA Masjid, said the Puttur Town Police.

Both groups have lodged cases against each other. Several SKSSF workers were also injured and are admitted to different hospitals.

The tension stems from an SKSSF conference a week ago in Sullia, where a speaker had alleged that SSF had misappropriated Rs. 40 crore in collections.

Huge rush, commotion at bus stands across Karnataka

News Network

May 20,2020

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) had to confront an unprecedented situation as there was a commotion at bus stands in various parts of the state due to the mad rush of passengers.

Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who is in charge of the transport department, admitted that there were some shortcomings in the arrangements. He, however, was confident that things would improve from Wednesday.

As against the dearth of passengers in the bus stands in Bengaluru a day ago, Wednesday witnessed an overwhelming crowd blaming BMTC authorities for not providing enough buses for all the destinations on time.

Some of the employees who were asked to report to duty before certain time were facing difficulty in reaching the office in the absence of bus despite having daily pass and arriving at the stand well in advance.

Authorities were finding it difficult to convince the public as a bus could ferry only 35 passengers at a time which was way less than the demand.
