Mangaluru, Jan 9: The former judge of the Karnataka High Court Vishwanath Shetty said here on Saturday that criminals have joined various outfits and organisations in Dakshina Kannada to “protect themselves.”

But the people of the district should not protect them to maintain peace and communal harmony and instead help police to curb them.

Addressing a gathering at the Shanti Souharda Adalat that was organised by Karnataka Journalists’ Union and Dakshina Kannada district administration, he said: “Suppress the evil. Support the good.”

The adalat had been organised with the intention of finding causes for frequent communal disturbances, “immoral rowdism” in the district and suggesting remedial measures to curb them.

Mr. Shetty warned that if such criminals were not suppressed now they would damage the future generation.

He said that officials, mainly police, face pressure while controlling communal incidents.

In such circumstances people should support police in getting criminals involved in violence arrested and boost the morale of police, he said.

Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar, Khazi of Mangaluru, said that if a Hindus had wholeheartedly welcomed Arab Muslims to India centuries ago.

“Muslims and Hindus are brothers and not enemies. Thousands of Hindus accepted Islam in India after impressed by the character and life style of Muslims,” he said adding that Islam never allows its true followers to indulge in any kind of violence.

Swami Vidyavachaspati Vishwa Santosh Bharati of Barkur said that all religions including Hinduism and Islam advocate peace and harmony. He said that as per the Islamic teachings if a Muslim hurts any other creature, he cannot be a Muslim.

Senior journalist Manohar Prasad suggested the organisers to conduct such adalats or meetings for every two months to review the communal related incidents reported during that period and find out the persons or organisations involved in it and expose them.

Some participants said that transporting cows, “moral policing” and illegal cow slaughter issues were mainly responsible for the frequent communal clashes in the district.

They accused the government of not solving incidents relating to these issues impartially. This in turn resulted in polarisation.

Harikrishna Bantwal, a participant, questioned why police should buckle under the pressures of MLAs and MPs while dealing with incidents relating to communal violence. Police should act impartially while arresting persons involved in communal violence.

“Now there is no pro-people politics. It has become a profession,” Mr. Bantwal alleged.

M.G. Hegde, an activist, said that organisations promoting communal violence can resolve the issues relating to the violence by sitting across the table, themselves. Communal violence was being promoted for political, monetary and selfish reasons, he said.

The adalat passed a resolution that all should support measures being taken to curb communal violence in the district.

They should bring any incidents which could spark communal trouble to the notice of police to take further action.

Make a strong common organization consisting of peace loving people from all community, where there will be intellectuals, influential people, Judges, police.
Such that no-trouble maker dares even dream to do any mischievous.
Regardless of his religions, case, creed, background, mercilessly bring to book and tough punishment is given. there should be people's court tackle such violence.

We can make Mangalore free from this pollution, so that trouble makers can be ashamed to walk.

SHANTHI SAUHARDA ADALAT Organized by the District Administration and Karnataka Journalists Union is a good move and this kind of SAUHARDA ADALAT has to be organized from time to time i.e. at least once in two months to maintain peace, law and order in the District and to build the TRUST & LOVE in between the various communities.

We are all created by ONE GOD irrespective of our color or creed and in fact and it is our duty to promote brotherhood in the Society. People have to cooperate with the POLICE and ADMINISTRATION to suppress the communal hatred and severely punish the culprits.

Dakshina Kannada district was very famous for good reasons and we have to maintain the same image. Together we will not support the people those who try to spoil the image of our district. Due to the hatred and disturbances in the district we lost the incoming INVESTORS in the district and caused CRORES of loss to the district.

We citizens of D.K. District, let us live peacefully and let others to live peaceful. Let us keep up the dignity of all our fellow citizens irrespective of caste, creed or color.

Thanks to the organizers of this meet and please keep up the same trend for the sake of our people and the society.

May God bless.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.

Bengaluru,  Jun 19: Following the coronavirus outbreak, Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has introduced ultraviolet treatment while scanning outbound baggage apart from other measures to enhance passenger and staff safety.

"Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. These Tunnels are located at a cordoned-off area of the Terminal," according to a statement by the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).

The airport plans to use an ultra-low volume (ULV) spray treatment for check-in bags: all outbound passenger baggage is sanitised before dispatch to the aircraft

Authorities also plan to minimise use of additional trays for footwear by introducing specially designed trays; the trays that are in use are UV treated and sanitised manually after every use.

Officials are currently in the process of implementing silver nano-coating for frequently used touchpoints for self disinfection like check-in counters, Immigration counters, ATRS trays, etc. Currently, sanitisation of high-traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces continues to be done every thirty minutes manually without disrupting the flow of passengers.

All high-traffic areas are sanitised once every three hours by using ULV machines - eight times in 24 hours.

Washrooms across the Airport premises are sanitised on a regular basis with dedicated manpower, irrespective of the frequency of use. 456 units of tabletop hand sanitiser and 107 units of sensor-based hand sanitisers have been placed across the Terminal.

120 biowaste bins located across the Airport campus enable passengers and staff to dispose of their masks, gloves and other PPE conveniently and safely. This bio-waste is managed by a dedicated team and handed over to a Pollution Control Board-approved vendor and taken away for incineration.

The Airport said that the passenger feedback for the contactless process has been positive. "The objective of the process is to minimise physical contact and enhance passenger throughput," it said.

These sanitisation measures come in light of the highly infectious COVID-19 pandemic which spreads through person-to-person contact. Small droplets from the nose or mouth can spread the virus when they land on objects and surfaces around the person.
