U T Khader bats for law amendment to ban bars in residential areas

Manglauru, Nov 28: The issue of bars within residential areas was so far mere a question of right or wrong rather than anything to do with the law. However, U T Khader, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, has now suggested bringing an amendment to the law to prevent bars functioning in residential areas.

On December 27, residents of Talapady Narlapadil (which falls under Mangaluru constituency represented by Mr Khader) on the outskirts of the city staged a protest opposing the opening of a bar in their locality. Mr Khader, who visited the protesters, said that government should find legal way to prevent opening bars in residential areas.

"After the Supreme Court's order, the bars situated beside the highway are being shifted to residential areas. There is a need for a tough law to check the setting up of bars in residential areas,” he said.

He also promised the protesters that the issue of opening a bar at Talapady Narlapadil would be brought to the notice of the Excise Minister and Excise Department.

Karnataka Gadinadu Rakshana Vedike President Siddeeq Talapady said that while issuing the permit, the gram panchayat has not consulted the villagers.

"If the bar is allowed to open, then we will hold a protest by locking Talapady gram panchayat," he warned.

Taluk Panchayat member Surekha Chandrahas said the opening of a bar at Narla will pose inconvenience to the residents, especially women.

Totaly rubbish. Bars should be in residential areas. If it is not in residential area then where it should be. You people wants bars in INDUSTRIAL AREA.! Anyway I am sure about one thing, govt wont do complete ban. Because they are getting more revenue from bars because of me and my barmates

Many family getting trouble only because of this. Either ban completely or ban partially. Ensure bars are not in residential areas.

Bengaluru, Feb 14: BJP leader and Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashok refused to comment on the Bellary car accident case, allegedly involving his son, saying that the matter was still under investigation and that they did not have anything to do with the said car.

The car crash took place on February 10, when a speeding red Mercedes Benz allegedly driven by Ashok's son rammed into a tea stall by the roadside killing two people. While a 16-year-old boy Ravi died on the spot, one of the car's passengers was also killed in the accident.

"I came to know about the incident and also heard that two people have died and a few others have sustained injuries. Everybody is equal under the law. It is not fair to comment as a minister when the case is being investigated," Ashok told reporters here on Thursday.

However, the minister avoided answering questions about his son's presence in the car and said that they had "no connection" with the car.

"The case is in the investigation stage, I don't want to comment on anything. My son's name is not present in the FIR. We have no connection with the car," he said.

Superintendent of Police CK Baba told reporters that Ashok's son was not present in the car.

"There was no senior BJP leader and Revenue Ministers's son in the car. We will not hide anything and the case will be investigated," Baba said.
