Mangaluru, Oct 27: Accusing Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Mohammed Nazeer and other officials of allowing cow slaughter at an abattoir in Kudroli, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have demanded immediate action against them.

The demand comes after information made available by MCC Health Officer Kamalamma in response to an RTI query filed by one Prathiba V. Shetty seeking month-wise breakup of animals slaughtered at the abattoir.

The officer classified the animals into dana (cattle), yemme (buffalo), kuri (sheep), and meke (goat). As many as 352 head of cattle were slaughtered in January, followed by 345 in February, 495 in March, 397 in April, 505 in May, 383 in July, 320 in August, and 356 in September. A total of 85,153 animals were slaughtered, of which a majority were sheep and goat.

VHP district secretary Sharan Pumpwell told reporters on Saturday that dana was nothing but cow. “Mr. Nazeer and other MCC officials have admitted to allowing slaughter of cows,” he said, adding that a complaint was filed with the Mangaluru North police on Thursday against Mr. Nazeer, Ms. Kamalamma and other MCC officials for violation of the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Act.

Mr. Pumpwell said they would meet Deputy Commissioner S. Sasikanth Senthil and Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh on Monday to reiterate their demand.

Denying the allegation, Mr. Nazeer said that it was not cows but bulls that were among the animals slaughtered at the abattoir. He said there was no question of allowing cow slaughter. He explained that following a complaint from Bajrang Dal activists, MCC personnel had checked the register maintained at the abattoir and found that it was bulls, not cows, that were slaughtered there. He said the health official had gone by the common usage of dana for bulls and failed to realise that the same term was used for cattle in the coastal region.

Mr. Nazeer added that a detailed explanation has been filed with the police.

Mangaluru, Aug 4: The Kasaragod district administration has decided to restore the e-pass system for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru amid covid-19 crisis. 

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
