Udupi: VHP, Bajrang Dal activists kill BJP worker for transporting cows

August 18, 2016

Udupi, Aug 18: In a shocking incident, a group of miscreants belonging to Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal beat up a youth to death for involving in illegal cow transportation near Hebri village in Karkala taluk of Udupi district last night.

praveen The miscreants came to know that the ill-fated cow trafficker was also an activist of Bhartiya Janata Party only after the attack.

The BJP activist Praveen Poojary (29), a resident of Kenjur and cattle trader by profession, breathed his last in a hospital, hours after the attack. His aide Akshay Devadiga (22), who was also injured in the attack, is undergoing treatment at a hospital.

The incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. when Praveen Poojary was loading three cows into a Tata Ace for transportation at Kadike in Santhekatte near Hebri village. Akshay Devadiga was also present.

On receiving the information, nearly 30 VHP and Bajrang Dal activists surrounded the vehicle and attacked Poojary with lethal weapons. Devadiga, who came to his recue, was also assaulted brutally by the miscreants.

The assailants left the spot only after Poojary revealed that he was a BJP worker and had campaigned for the saffron party during last Lok Sabha elections. Though Poojary and Devadiga were rushed to a hospital by local residents, the former breathed his last without responding to any treatment.

Udupi SP KP Balakrishna confirmed to Coastaldigest.com that 18 persons have been arrested for their involvement in the attack. It is learnt that he attack was led by Arvind Sherigar, a VHP member, who runs a petrol bunk.

The Udupi district unit of BJP, which always encouraged the violent acts so of called gau rakshaks, is now in a dilemma as they have killed their own man.

The incident comes days after the Union Home Ministry had cracked the whip on cow vigilantism, asking all states not to tolerate anyone taking law into their hands in the name of protecting cow and to take prompt action against such offenders.

The Home Ministry advisory had come two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked cow vigilantes and asked people to beware of these 'fake' protectors trying to divide the society and the country.

He made these comments after his government and BJP came under attack over incidents of violence against Dalits and Muslims by cow vigilantes in various states including Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

Gau rakshak becames manau bhakshak

Now it's time to counter attack the fake protectors of gau

Basically these VHP and bajrangi dal morons want cows to walk by themselves to their new owners house. If you take them by truck then they will kill you.

I'm done trying to talk sense about this new brand of religious gundagardi.

hell with this feku gau rakshaks

if this holy animal & holy meat is creating too much of uneasiness in our country please shift to a different place/country, where there are no gau bakshaks....only rakshaks

let them celebrate. they killed a human being & saved the cow
now let them compensate the family of diseased with the cows. he may be the bread earner for his family. due their own goondaism policy killed own guy.

Hindus are spread all around the world. You name a country, they are there. But, do they dare to talk about GauMatha in any country other than India? All their dramas are limited to Indian boundaries. Bahar Dum Nahin nikaltha Hain.

Dear Viren,
Now only God can save your 17 GOW BHAKSHAKS... Shame on you for supporting these terrorists. Family of Praveen poojary will never get their lost Son. Either show your sympathy or get the hell out of here.
Readers are not interested to read your F**king comments.

Hope ABVP will come to street and protest against Killers..!

Viren, you are an worthless, inhuman creature of this entire world....in European countries millions of tons of meat being eaten everyday basis...thousands of butchers serving over there...because of it is their fundamental right to eat what they like...nobody is coming in between it....If you got a guts go and shout and stop them from eating cow meat...they will f**k you...I am sure....

Ha ha Viren.....the guy looked like a Muslim in his bead style...... as stupid they are...they killed him...ha ha....
Don't comment and mock at yourself dear....

This proves that Bajrang Dal, VHP members or other gau rakshaks are not anti-Muslims. they are just protecting the cows. But attacking these helpless pawns not enough. Attack the real anti-national butchers and eliminate them.

Kotian brothers being gow-rakhshak, became gow- bakshak.
Enjoying beef....!

Now Congress/JDS/PFI/SDPI/CPI(M) should stage a massive protest to prove that BJP does not care its own worker's murder if the killer is a Bajrangi

Will BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa give a call for a statewide bandh demanding ban on VHP and BD in protest of killing of his party worker?

Chaddi dirty mindset never change
If they wear pant or nighty!

Unnecessary loss of life.
Remove the Beef ban then there will be no gau rakshaks and there will be no danger to anybody.Is there no justice in this country. Quick action should be taken against the guilty.
Let people eat what they want.
Why blame the State government when this policy being implemented by Centre.

i request govt to give order to police Shoot on Sight for all activists for defame our nation by doing such a things. please this is the best solution for everything. we dont want any self called protector. we all brothers and sisters want to live in peace.

what are mr. parameshwarayya and siddaramayya doing now. they must curb these goondas; we have been listening only warning warning warning but no action till now. now we lost one more life in the hands of rss goondas. now where is abvp and vhp to protest this murder.
now our police make a case against the dead man leaving their 2nd team members of rss.

OH my God......his face appearance cheated the BJP goons..... Sorry Naren, wrong number ....

bajrangdal what are u doing. where are u taking us. killing is easy task for bajrangis now a days.

Bajrangdal and VHP whatever you are doing now is totally wrong. its down grading your mother land. please understand and work to bring good out of india.

because of 1% of hindus we all 99% of hindus are suffering.,

Does Go Maata require human protection if cow is God? Does GO Maata appointed only Sanghis from human to protect her? Does Go Maata require human sacrifices? Does she require human blood only from particular community like Muslims, Dalits, Billawas, Lower caste etc ..??

this is really shocking., i request all hindu brothers to stop the brutality. do something for the nation. this wont lift india to reach the development high.

they cut their own hand, its a lesson for all cow protector.

Modi congratulates RIO medalist Sakshi Mallik along with Udupi's RIOT sanghis who killed cow transporter...!

RIP Martyr Praveen Poojary .... Quick recovery for Akshaya Devadiga.... BJP is tasting its own medicines .....what goes around, will come around.... Let all these arrested 17 persons and other back the scene people are lodged in Andamans for 10 years, then our coastal districts will have peace for EVER.....

have this bajrangdal activists lost their mind? killing people for cow its not justified, if your cow matha has so much power then let her punish the slaughters.

Shocking. really dont understand whether to celebrate or mourn. RIP..

Shun Hindutva, shun hatred or get ready for more violence in future.

Government should ban these two ugly terrorists groups immediately....they are the main reason for creating unrest and unpleasant condition around South Canara.....

Good that Muslims stop eating beef which is unhealthy....

I knew this will definitely happen one day. Bajrangi terrorists have also been imparted arms training... If same situation continues.. wait and watch what will happen in future.

Boda seera. All culprits should be hanged in public.

Hindus who R pro cheddi should start thinking and stop relying on the information fed by the RSS...
RSS teaching is from Zionist and they have phd in deception through out the world... They will not care if u work hard for them or not.. in the end YOU will suffer...
When U have no knowledge of YOUR RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES , U guys are fooled to believe what YOU are doing now...

WAKE UP guys and study your scriptures and compare it with other religion also ... All the EVIL you are doing is turning on YOU itself. Its not late... THINK individually and start understanding the cheddi ideology which is dumping your own brothers into HELL.

Karnataka budget to allot funds for drinking water project to drought-prone districts

Agencies

February 23,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Bolstered by the Supreme Court's interim nod for the gazette notification of the Mahadayi Water Dispute Tribunal award by the Central government, Karnataka decided to allot funds for the drinking water project in the state's northwest region, an official said on Saturday.

"Funds will be allotted in the state budget for fiscal 2020-21 to complete the Kalasa-Banduri project across the Mahadayi river for supplying drinking water to the four drought-prone northern districts in the state," the official of the water resources department told media on anonymity.

As Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa also holds the finance portfolio, he has agreed to allocate funds for the project, held up for years in the legal battle with the neighbouring Goa and Maharashtra over the sharing of the river water among the three coastal states.

Yediyurappa is slated to present the state budget for the ensuing fiscal in the legislative assembly on March 2.

"We will resume the project work once the Centre notifies the award though it will be binding on the final outcome of the apex court's hearing the review petitions of Goa and Maharashtra against the Tribunal award," the official noted.

A division bench of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hemant Gupta on Thursday passed an interim order on the Tribunal award, allowing the central water resources ministry to notify it for implementation and posted the case for final hearing in July.

The Tribunal on August 14, 2018 allocated 13.42 thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) of the river water to the southern state for irrigation and drinking water supply to towns and villages across Bagalkot, Belagavi, Dharwad and Gadag districts, which are in the arid region of the Deccan plateau.

The four districts are about 400-550 km northwest of Bengaluru in the southern state.

Of the 13.42 tmcft water, 5.5 tmcft will be used in the river basin and for diversion into the depleted Malaprabha reservoir while the balance 7.92 tmcft will be utilized for hydel power generation instead of allowing the water to go into the Arabian Sea on the state's west coast through Goa.

Goa, which opposed Karnataka's demand for 36.66 tmcft, was allocated 24 tmcft, while Maharashtra got 1.3 tmcft.

The Tribunal assessed that 188.06 tmc feet water is available at 75 per cent dependability.

The three-member Tribunal is headed by Chairman Justice J.M. Panchal, Justice Viney Mittal and Justice P.S. Naayana.

The Union government had set up the inter-state Tribunal on November 16, 2010 for the djudication of the Mahadayi basin water allocation among the three riparian and contiguous states.

Goa and Maharashtra claimed 122.6 tmc feet and 6.35 tmc feet of the river water respectively.

The Tribunal, which commenced sittings on September 6, 2012, held 1,209 sittings for over 6 years.

Supreme Court senior counsel F.S. Nariman represented the state before the Tribunal to present its case.

The Tribunal's chairman and two members inspected the river basin area across the three coastal states from December 12-24, 2013.

The 77km-long Mahadayi or Mandovi river originates at Bhimgad in the Western Ghats in Belagavi district and flows into the neighbouring Goa through Maharashtra and joins the Arabian Sea off the west coast.

Though the river flows 29 km in Karnataka and 52 km in Goa, its catchment area is spread over 2,032 km in the southern state as against 1,580 km in the western state (Goa).

Karnataka govt to build guest house for Kannadiga pilgrims in Ayodhya

News Network

August 8,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Anticipating a huge number of pilgrims from Karnataka to start visiting Ayodhya following the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Ram temple, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Friday requested his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath for two acres of land to build a 'yatri nivas' (guest house).

"A large number of pilgrims from Karnataka would be visiting Ayodhya. The government of Karnataka wishes to construct a yatri nivas for the pilgrims visiting Ayodhya," Yediyurappa wrote to Yogi.

"I request you to grant two acres of land in Ayodhya for this purpose," he said.

The Chief Minister said the yatri nivas will be constructed for the benefit of pilgrims from the southern state.

He also congratulated the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister for successfully laying the foundation stone for the Ram temple on Wednesday.

Comments

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.

Centre puts only three Karnataka districts in red zone, state has 14

News Network

May 2,2020

Bengaluru, May 2: The Centre’s classification of districts created confusion in Karnataka as the state’s own categorisation deviates significantly from the health ministry’s list.

For instance, the Centre put the number of districts in the red zone in state at three, while the state Covid-19 war room puts it at 14. Bengaluru Urban and Mysuru figure in the red zone in both lists. While Bengaluru Rural with zero active cases on May 1makes it to the Centre’s red-zone list, it is in the orange zone according to the state.

In addition to these two, the state classifies Belagavi, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Mandya, Bidar, Dakshina Kannada, Chikkaballapura, Dharwad, Gadag, Tumakuru and Davanagere as red-zone districts.

State Covid war-room authorities said they would take a look at the Centre’s criteria for classification and take a call. Besides, incharge Munish Mudgil pointed out that states are allowed to make additions to the red and orange zones. According to the Centre’s list, Karnataka has 13 districts in the orange zone and 14 in the green zone.

Sudan said, “the districts were earlier designated as hotspots or red zones, orange zones and green zones primarily based on the cumulative cases reported and the doubling rate. Since recovery rates have gone up, the districts are now being designated across various zones duly broad-basing the criteria.

This classification takes into consideration incidence of cases, doubling rate, extent of testing and surveillance feedback. A district will be considered under the green zone if there are no confirmed cases so far or if there is no reported case in the past 21 days.”
