Mysuru, Nov 23: The Social Democratic Party of India has urged the media not to float rumours and false information over the recent attack on Congress MLA Tanveer Sait in Mysuru.

The police have so far arrested seven persons in connection with the attack. Five of them have been sent to judicial custody and the main accused has been kept under police custody.

Addressing a press meet here, Abdul Majeed, National General Secretary of SDPI, said that though the police investigation was still underway a section of media are just floating and spreading speculations and concocted stories and Indulging in linking the incident with SDPI.

“By viewing the present scenario some of the steps of police at the investigation stage have raised suspicion that clearly indicate that some vested interests are desperately attempting to take the benefits through achieving its evil designs,” he said, pointing out following points.

1. The family members and advocates are denied permission to meet the accused in judicial custody. Jail officers said they can meet only after 10 days. When advocates asked the jail officers that they are violating the rules, the jail officers pleaded "they are in massive pressure, please understand us". Why the family members and advocates are denied permission to meet the accused in judicial custody ? Which are the forces or persons behind the pressure on police who are wailing by saying that "please understand us"?

2. When 5 accused are in judicial custody and even after six days of the incident, what are the reasons the police not issued authentic statements by them?  The media have hitherto published many so-called police reports. 'MLA didn't help to provide job', 'to gain name', 'Supari threat from underworld criminal' etc were published continuously by the media and created confusion, mistrust and rumors in the public. Even though why police relent on deep silence?

3. In the context of bye election going on in the state some vested interests trying to take benefits of the incident by tarnishing the image of SDPI which is emerging as an alternate political party. Whether those vested interests are putting pressure on police for their selfish gains?

4. It seems a conspiracy is working to fix the innocents in the case though they are not at all connected ? When the accused were sent to judicial custody  why the jail officers denied permissions to  the family members or advocates and asked them to meet only after ten day? Whether efforts are going on to knit the stories?

Mr Majeed said SDPI will fight over all evil conspiracies through systematic legal proceedings. Police has to take measures which enable stringent punishment to the real culprits involved in this incident. He also urged the police to reveal the real motives behind the incident after probing in a right direction without falling prey to any pressure.

Elyas Muhammad Thumbe, State President, SDPI, Kumaraswamy, State Secretary, SDPI, Amjad Khan, State Committee Member, SDPI were present.

Bengaluru, Apr 27: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the government should work towards lowering the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has weakened, and it should impose COVID cess on the ultra-rich.

"The economy won't bounce back within a very short period. It is important to lower the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has depleted. The government must cut the petrol/diesel prices. The loss of revenue may be offset partially by imposing COVID cess on the ultra-rich," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"According to RBI and international economic assessment agencies, the GDP growth rate of the country is expected to fall to a historic low. Such a dire situation calls for citizen-centric measures like full or partial waivers of EMIs, rents, school fees, and other levies," he added.

Kumaraswamy further said that the government must announce schemes to save the livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector.

"It is high time the government announced schemes to save livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector. The government must provide immediate relief to farmers, construction workers, cab and auto drivers, garment workers, etc," the former Karnataka CM tweeted.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) had said on April 23 that India's economic growth is likely to hover between zero and 1.5 per cent in the current financial year as the extended COVID-19 lockdown slows down activity across most sectors.

India is under a nation-wide lockdown which was imposed on March 25 and later extended on April 14 to May 3 to stem the spread of coronavirus.

Media Release
July 31,2020

Mangaluru, July 31: Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has unveiled a campaign both on digital media and outdoor billboards on bringing awareness on the right usage of masks, social distancing and hand washing in the fight against COVID19. The campaign has received very good response and attention on social media and with the citizens of Mangaluru.

While the numbers of Covid-19 infected people were increasing and a vaccine would take some more time it was observed that norms of social distancing and other precautionary practices were thrown to the wind. Many people in Dakshina Kannada were found using masks inappropriately. Wearing a mask in a scientific way by covering both the nose and mouth is imperative to control droplets that spread the virus. We need to rise above our inconvenience to fight the virus.

Considering this the KCCI found an immediate need to bring awareness and constant reminder to people on the right usage of masks, social distancing, washing hands and other dos and don’ts to stay ahead of the virus and beat the pandemic.

A digital campaign and an outdoor advertisement campaign were planned by the chamber to remind and encourage people to follow best practices when interacting with others. 

The theme of the Campaign was decided to be “Let’s Fight Back Together” Origin Designext a Creative Agency in Mangalore was roped in to do the creative for the campaign and a team from KCCI worked with the Agency to shape up the campaign with their inputs. In the meantime Indian Red Cross Society Dakshina Kannada and Rotary Mangaluru expressed their interest to support the Campaign. 

Mangaluru based outdoor agencies like Jyothi Advertisers, Kalkura Advertisers and Gee Dee Advertisers agreed to provide outdoor space gratis to this community service campaign. Presented both in English and Kannada, the campaign has been creating waves on social media and on the street, a sign that it is being very well received by the populace of Mangalore city. 

The creative of Half Covered or Half exposed where a model is shown with a mask that exposes the nose and KA-19 v/s COVID-19 (KA-19 being the Vehicle Registration Code for the District) have been particularly making a buzz in the community. All together 14 hoardings are currently on display with various Covid-19 awareness messages. Many business houses have shown interest to participate in this public awareness campaign.

The Chamber hopes this campaign would go a long way in the fight of the city against COVID-19 and play its role in putting the pandemic behind us. “Businesses and our economy has suffered enough, we need to work together to fight this virus, we need to rise above minor inconvenience and win this war,” says Isaac Vas the President to KCCI.
