Mangalore, July 29: Mangalore is being increasingly targeted by sex mafia but the district administration and police have turned a blind eye to it, said Jagadish Karanth, State Convenor, Hindu Jagarana Vedike.

Addressing media persons at a press meet in Mangalore, Mr. Karanth defended the 'protest' carried out by some of the members belonging to his organization at a homestay in Padil where young boys and girls were manhandled.

“True, our members were there but they went there to protest. They could not tolerate the injustice and exploitation of women that is being done by certain vested interests. There is a huge sex mafia behind this. Sex tourism has made its way into Mangalore. These people have money and want place and opportunities to enjoy which they are trying to find in Mangalore. But the district administration and police have turned a blind eye to these developments”, he said.

Stating that the district administration has a responsibility towards the society, Mr. Karanth said that all illegal spas, pubs, homestays and resorts should be closed down. CCTV cameras should be installed in homestays and all people who come to use it must be made to submit documents, identity proofs along with photographs, to make sure that no prostitution and criminal activities take place in homestays.

Mr. Karanth also said that if the girls had really just been part of a birthday party and were assaulted for no reason, they should have come forward and lodged complaints against the assaulters.

Jun 19: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray should sign an agreement with neighbouring Karnataka to avoid a repeat of flood in part of the state like it happened in August last year.

In August 2019, Kolhapur, Sangli districts and some other parts of the state faced unprecedented floods triggered by huge release of water from dams in western Maharashtra and from the Almatti dam in Karnataka.

Fadnavis said, The Maharashtra chief minister should hold an urgent meeting with the Karnataka chief minister and enter into an agreement over-discharge of water from the Almatti dam located on the border of both the states."

If water is not released from the Almatti dam in time, it will cause flooding in border areas of Maharashtra such as Kolhapur and Sangli.

"A pact between the two states would benefit both as it would help in keeping water levels in control, the former chief minister said.

The dams in the state already have sizeable water stock. It would be better if the chief minster schedules a meeting with the Karnataka chief minister regarding the same (agreement), the Leader of Opposition in the assembly said.

Madikeri, Feb 23: Back-to-back floods and landslides in the last two years, has led to a fall in the number of tourists coming to the coffee-growing region of Kodagu, forcing the district administration to intervene and take confidence-building measures, telling tourists that Kodagu was safe to visit.

According to the statistics of the Karnataka State Tourism Department, Kodagu recorded a moderately good number of tourists in 2018 and 2019, the years that the district witnessed devastating floods and landslides.

The Department’s statistics reveal that 17 lakh tourists visited Kodagu in 2018 and 18 lakh in 2019. This means the flood-ravaged years did attract tourists contrary to what the stakeholders had claimed.
