The poultry farm who buried the chickens on Monday evening belonged to Lolasuru village in Gokak Taluk of the district.
One of the owners, Nazir Makandar, said that there was no demand for chicken because of threat of Coronavirus.
Mangaluru, Feb 13: After pro-Kannada outfits called for a state-wide bandh today, the police are on high-alert to avoid any untoward incidents.
The dawn to dusk bandh was called demanding implementation of Sarojini Mahishi report which recommended certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in private & public sector companies.
There is no official holiday declared for schools and colleges. Besides, all government institutions and private establishments are open.
But, in some parts of Karnataka, autorickshaws and taxis, including Ola and Uber stayed off the roads.
Even though the bandh is unlikely to hit normal life in coastal Karnataka, stones were pelted on a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet.
Mangaluru, Jan 15: Popular Front of India leader Mohammed Saqib came down heavily on Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha for justifying the Dec 19 firing which claimed two Muslim lives in the city.
He was addressing a mammoth crowd of around two lakh people, mostly Muslims, who had gathered at Shah Garden at Adyar in Mangaluru today to register their protest against CAA, NRP, NRC, besides police atrocities on Muslims in Mangaluru.
Criticising the way the commissioner handled the situation on December 19, he said the people have all the right to agitate when their citizenship is endangered.
“Two men lost their lives. Then Commissioner started releasing misleading videos (to justify the killing),” he said questioning the top cop: “Who are you? Are you a British?”
“What kind of doctor you are? You are a doctor in creating false stories,” he said whiling taking on the top cop for claiming that protesters had tried to storm the Mangaluru North Police Station.
