Mangaluru, Jan 7: Abdul Hakeem Kuloor, the brother of Ahmed Basheer, who passed away at a hospital on Sunday four days after he was attacked by communal hatemongers at Kottara Chowki in the city, has urged people not to disrupt peace.

“When my brother Basheer was alive everyone respected him. This is time to pray for his soul. No one should try to disrupt peace. There will be no procession,” said a teary-eyed Hakeem, who had shared a close bond with his brother.

The aggrieved brother’s timely statement gains significance in the wake of attempts by saffron forces to take out funeral procession of Deepark Rao, who was hacked death by another gang hours before attack on Basheer on January 3.

When the news of Basheer’s death began to spread, Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader and Mangaluru City North MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava rushed the AJ Hospital and urged the people who had gathered outside the hospital to see the mortal remains to maintain peace. ADGP Kamal Panth too visited the hospital.

Hakeem said that the last rites of Basheer will take place on the premises of Mohiuddin Juma Masjid at Kuloor-Panjimogeru. “Soon after the postmortem the mortal remains will be kept at Basheer’s house at Akashbhavan where only female family members are allowed. Later, the body will be taken to the mosque where Mayyit Namaz will be held. Before burial relatives and friends can see the Basheer’s face there,” he said.

Bengaluru, May 14: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Former Union Minister and Congress Karnataka MLC, C M Ibrahim has, in a letter to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, sought permission for the Muslim community to congregate at Idgah grounds and mosques to offer namaz together on the occasion of Id-ul-Fitr later this month.

"The Id-ul-Fitr festival in the state may be celebrated on the 24th or 25th May 2020, during which Muslims have to offer special prayers. On behalf of the entire community. I would suggest that the Government may take a decision by having due consultation with medical experts to grant permission for Muslims on the day of Id to offer prayers in the Idgah maidans or masjids from morning till 1 pm with all precautionary measures and safety norms," the letter states.

"In this regard. I request you to kindly look into the matter and after consulting the medical experts, take a suitable decision enabling Muslims all over the state to offer ld prayers at ldgah Maidans or Masjids in their respective localities," the letter added.

As part of its COVID-19 guidelines, the Ministry of Home Affairs had earlier directed states and Union territories to prevent social gatherings and religious congregations and ensure lockdown measures were strictly followed.

Comments

If Mr. Yediyurappa gives permission as reqested by Ibrahim, it will be adisastor for Muslims community, Saudi Arabia imposed , full curfew from 23rd to 30th May, 2020, this is to avoid Eid gathering and spread of Corona Virus, our community should boycott such so called self declared leader.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.

Who is he? What is he? And what did he do to Muslim community and who gave him the authorization to talk to the minister of behalf of Muslim Community

It will be disastrous for PR, and Joy ride for Atunab & sudir...

This Chadi people will be very happy and start calling this Eid Jeehad...

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
