Mangalore, Sep 18: In an incident of apparent hate crime, a group of miscreants allegedly belonging to Bajrang Dal, pounced on a few Muslim students at a bus stop in the city and brutally assaulted them.

The incident took place at Pumpwell Bus Stop, near Thaqwa Masjid on Thursday afternoon when a group of students from Mangalore Institute of Fire Safety Engineering (MIFSE) were waiting for bus. The assailants stabbed one of the students and brutally assaulted five others.

The condition of Kalandar Shahid, who was stabbed by the miscreants is said to be critical. Five other students identified as Shameem, Aashiq, Shahbaz, Mohammed Shahid and Asfatulla also have been hospitalized with multiple injuries.

Sources said that the two dozens of assailants who came in a Toofan Trax before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.

A tense atmosphere has prevailed in the college and Pumpwell area following Thursday's attack.

Even though the attack appears to be part of a dispute between two groups of students in the college, it is learnt that the communal forces beyond the campus also had actively involved in the crime to trigger tension in the region.

It is learnt that the college had witnessed a small clash between two groups of students approximately a week ago. The college principal had intervened to settle the issue that erupted during a photo session at the end of a programme.

Following the compromise in the presence of principal, one group of students, which had connections with the local leaders of a communal outfit, had threatened the other group of œa worse revenge .

The victims have reportedly identified few of the assailants including Pradeep Pumpwell, and Pramod and Punith who are said to be Bajrang Dal activists.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the "RSS needs to be defeated to save the country" and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are "destroying the nation".

Kharge was speaking at a KPCC program where DK Shivakumar took charge as state Congress president.

He said that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not ready to take accountability for any issues including China, and are instead blaming Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of getting funds from China.

"Rajiv Gandhi foundation utilized funds for the development of the nation and for the betterment of the downtrodden people," Kharge said.

"Prime Minister Modi and Shah both are destroying the economy of the nation, and their policies and plans are the reason for increasing COVID-19 situation in India," he said.

"Prime Minister and Amit Shah never listen to Opposition parties, instead they plan something and their policies are the reason for MSME losses and job losses in the country," he added.

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.
