Mangalore, Aug 24: Under the auspices of Shree Siddivinayaka Prathistana and Sarvajanika Ganeshothsava Samithi, Shakti' – a national Bunt women's convention was held at Bunt's Hostel premises in the city on Sunday.

Sadhvi Mathanandamayi of Odiyoor Mutt inaugurated and blessed the day-long convention, in which several hundred women from the Bunt community participated.

Kannada cine actress and MLC Thara Anuradha said that a woman can achieve anything if she had the willpower and necessary encouragement. “Behind a successful man, there will always be a woman. But, there might or might not be a man behind the success of a woman. Character is primarily necessary in a woman; this along with self-esteem and courage will help you achieve your goals,” she said.

In her presidential address, Puttur MLA Shakunthala Shetty said that in the present day, everyone has begun to realise and accept the importance of a matriarchal society. The Bunt community follows the matriarchal social system from yesteryears, which is a contribution to the society, she said, adding that even in the field of politics, a woman should uphold the maternal attitude.

In the context of rising number of crimes against women in the society, she said that women had a responsibility to the society, of teaching their children to respect women and view them their own mothers and sisters. Children should also be inculcated with religious and spiritual values. Young girls in the present age, want to dress and look like boys, however, they still lack the courage to fight for themselves, she said, adding that women's power should focus on changing the society.

Vice-president of Bunt Sangha, Bengaluru Meera Krishnappa said that we witnessed the maximum number of crimes against women in India. Although women are a symbol of endurance, resilience and strength, we have forgotten the power of women. Each woman should recognise the shakti' within her, she said.

An exhibition of antique currency, cultural and heritage household items was also held as part of the convention.

President of the women's convention Ashajyothi Rai welcomed the gathering.

Mangaluru, Jun 13: Around people from Bhatkal, who were stranded in United Arab Emirates due to months of covid lockdown, finally reached their hometown today. A charter flight carrying these passengers took from the Ras Al Khaimah International Airport at 11:20 PM (UAE time) yesterday and landed at Mangaluru International Airport at 4.20 am today.

After completing all the formalities, they were taken to Bhatkal in five buses arranged by Bhatkali Jamaatul Muslimeen, Mangaluru. Two hotels and a college hostel have been booked for the institutional quarantine of the returnees. 

The passengers were received at the airport by Majlis E Islah wa Tanzeem executive members, Bhatkali Jamaat Ul Muslimeen executive members, and Bhatkal Muslim Youth Federation executive members. 

Ateequr Rahman Muniri, vice president of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem and owner of UAE based Nuha General Trading LLC, had taken the initiative of sending stranded citizens of Bhatkal and surrounding regions to back home from UAE.

“After we came to know about the problems of the NRIs stranded in UAE plans were made to charter flights to send them home. I received huge support from the Bhatkal community leaders and youth here in Dubai, who gave their complete cooperation and helped with their efforts in successfully chartering the first flight," Muniri said.

Mangaluru/Mysuru, May 19: Though the Karnataka government permitted the private buses, operators in Dakshina Kannada district have decided not to operate buses until May end. In Mysuru district too the private buses remained off the roads.

Dakshina Kannada Bus Owners’ Association President Dilraj Alva said “Technically, private bus operators are not able to operate services as all of us have surrendered our permits. If we start services we will have to pay the tax for entire month. Hence, we have decided to resume bus services from June 1.”

The private buses had suspended their services since March 24.

In addition, bus owners also have two more demands which the state government needs to consider on priority, he said.

“We have requested the government to exempt private buses from paying tax for the next six months. We were not plying buses during lockdown and it will be tough for us in the next three months to operate as per new conditions.”

“The government has allowed only 30 persons in each bus to maintain social distancing. In addition, we have been urging the state government for bus fare revision since 2013. The government has revised the bus fares of KSRTC twice after that,” Alva said adding that bus owners will be meeting Mangaluru RTO on Tuesday.
