Mangaluru, Aug 25: In spite of the massive hate-campaign against actor-turned-politician Ramya by saffron forces, thousands of her fans thronged Kadri grounds in the city where she was the chief guest for a musical event organized by the Kadri Cricketers' Club as part of Krishna Janmashtami celebrations on Thursday night.

Addressing the gathering, the former Mandya MP thanked the people of Manglauru for their love and hospitality and described them as “very sweet people”.

Ms Ramya, who was wearing Mangaluru jasmine, impressed the crowed by uttering a few words in Tulu, the local language of this port city. She went on to claim that people of Mangaluru treated her like their own daughter.

Meanwhile, a few miscreants owning allegiance to saffron groups hurled eggs, stones and footwear at the stage where Ramya was sitting. However, police managed to bring the situation under control and reportedly detained a couple of miscreants.

Forest minister B Ramanath Ra, food minister U T Khader, MLC Ivan D'Souza among others attend the event. However, Ms Ramya was not allowed to take part in Mosaru Kudike due to security reasons, it is learnt.

Prior to this a small group of protesters belonging to Sangh Parivar attempted to block Ramya's convoy at the exit road of the Mangaluru International Airport. They also hurled eggs at the convoy when she was coming out of the Airport.

Meanwhile, speaking to media persons Ms Ramya rubbished the allegations that she compared Mangaluru to hell. She said that media is quoting her out of context.

In the interview, she had said that if a region can be called hell' just because bad things such as murder happen there you can find hell in Mangaluru too where many murders took place. She also recalled the murder of Praveen Poojary, a BJP worker who was targeted by Hindu vigilantes for being involved in transporting cattle.

She was arguing that a place or country should not be called as hell' just because of the presence of some anti-social elements there. “I haven't seen hell,” she said.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.

Bengaluru, May 18: A large number of people in India are planning inter-city bus travel within a month of the lifting of travel restrictions, according to a randomised online survey of over 10,300 customers of redBus, India's largest online bus ticketing platform.

Nearly 57 per cent of the respondents are planning to travel within a month post the lockdown. However, there is a high standard of expectation on the implementation of measures to make buses safe for travel with over 79 per cent wanting deep cleaning and sanitisation of buses after every trip.

Hand sanitisers, mandatory masks and temperature screening for all passengers are next in expectations for bus travel. Over 78 per cent of the respondents want the implementation of hygienic conditions at boarding points and 70 per cent want social distancing protocols to be implemented at boarding points.

"The survey does underscore the fact that given the adherence to safety protocols, bus travel is possibly one of the safest options for travel since the number of travellers are fewer, checks can be done individually and the whole factor of pick up and drop as close to home as possible minimises the number of contacts throughout the journey," said redBus Chief Executive Officer Prakash Sangam.

In addition, online booking further reduces the number of contact points as people can book bus tickets directly from their home. Further, there is a heightened awareness of personal hygiene and safety measures which is important for the travel to be safe.

"The large number of people waiting to travel not only points to the need but also the importance it has for the revival of economic activity as very few of them would be travelling for leisure," said Sangam.

The survey also showed that passengers put a very high consideration on hygiene, sanitation and disinfection -- over 73 per cent -- and social distancing (63 per cent) and much lower consideration to traditional factors such as travel cost (22 per cent), comfort (21 per cent) and punctuality (18 per cent).

The survey was conducted among redBus customers across India. Only 5 per cent of the respondents were willing to postpone their travel to over six months while the rest had plans to travel within that period.
