Mangaluru, Jul 24: Even though Karnataka government has declared two-day holidays for students of both private and government schools across the state, it would not apply to Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

studnetThe state government took the decision to declare holiday on July 25 and 26 in view of indefinite bus strike called by KSRTC and BMTC bus workers who have been demanding for a 15% hike in DA.

The Indian Vehicle Drivers Trade Union with a strength of over 1 lakh drivers has also decided to support the indefinite strike from Monday.

However, compared to other parts of the state the government bus strike may not have major impact in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district as most of the commuters in these two districts are dependent on private buses and other vehicles.

Hence, district administrations of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi have decided not to declare holiday for schools and colleges in the district.

Exam postponed

Meanwhile, Mangalore University has postponed its B Ed examination scheduled on July 25 to July 27 owing to government bus strike.

Bengaluru, Jan 13: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday held a protest march at Ramnagar district’s 
Kapalabetta under the aegis of Hindu Jagran Vedike’s ‘Kanakapura Chalo’ campaign against the construction of the world’s largest Jesus statue there.

Hundreds of protesters of the Vedike staged a protest march in the city starting from the Kanakapura Ayyappaswamy temple.

“We are not here to disturb the peace. We have met each other at the wedding of Sriramulu’s daughter. So you know who I am, DK Shivakumar. How long will you continue with these lies? Is the intention behind the statue of Jesus to solidify your vote bank? Build the statue in America or England, we will not allow it here,” said the RSS leader as the keynote speaker at the rally.
