Mangaluru, Dec 10: It will be an extended weekend for the students of schools and college in Dakshina Kannada as the district administration has decided to advance the holiday for 'Eid Milad-un-Nabi' to Monday, December 12.

eidThe Karnataka government has already declared a public holiday on next Tuesday, December 13, on account of Eid Milad. However, Muslims in the coastal belt of Karnataka will celebrate the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) a day earlier, i.e. on Monday.

Hence, Y Abdullah Kunhi, the chairman of Zeenath Baksh and Eidgah Juma Masjid, Managluru, had urged the district administration on behalf of the Muslim community to advance the holiday for educational intuitions to facilitate the Muslims students to take part in the Eid Milad celebrations.

Positively responding to the request, Dr K J Jagadisha, the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Dakshina Kannada, on Saturday issued a communiqué and formally announced the advancement holiday for schools and colleges.

He said that on December 13 all the educational institutions in the district will function as usually. The communiqué, however, did not mention about the advancement of holiday for other government establishments.

Chennai, July 25: A widow living alone in her apartment in Chennai city suburbs has filed a police complaint against ABVP national president Dr Subbiah Shanmugam, accusing him of harassment, including urinating and throwing used surgical masks at her doorstep.

Shockingly, no action has been taken so far by the police, even though the complaint against Dr Shanmugam, who is in government service, was filed on July 11 at the Adambakkam Police Station here by the widow’s relative Balaji Vijayaraghavan. 

Dr Shanmugam and the 62-year-old widow were living in the same apartment complex in Nanganallur and an argument broke between them over a parking slot. “He wanted to use our parking lot. We agreed but demanded a nominal charge for using it. He was outraged by our demand and even broke our signboard at the parking lot,” Vijayaraghavan wrote in his complaint.

He also alleged that Dr Shanmugam began harassing her by throwing “pieces of chicken” outside her apartment despite knowing she is a vegetarian. Vijayaraghavan also alleged in his two-page written complaint that the ABVP National President had urinated outside the woman’s apartment gate and had been throwing garbage and used masks at her gate.

The 62-year-old woman has been living alone in her apartment for the last year following her husband’s death. In his complaint, Vijayaraghavan also said the family was “concerned about her safety”, while asking police to take action against Dr Shanmugam, who he says, “has a bad track record in maintaining rapport with neighbours.”

CCTV footage corroborates with the allegations of urinating outside the residence of the widow. However, the ABVP claimed the incident as a “malicious and derogatory propaganda” by the Congress’ student wing of NSUI.

Bengaluru, Apr 15: The Opposition Congress in Karnataka on Wednesday accused the BJP government, headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, of showing discrimination in distribution of relief material to those affected by the lockdown, clamped to check the spread of Novel Coronavirus, by favouring constituencies represented by the ruling BJP Legislators.

Despite that, the party intends to extend full cooperation to the government during this hour of crisis without indulging in politics, it urged the administration to be “transparent”.

''We have had our (Congress) Task Force meeting today, during which we discussed several matters. There is a lot of difference between the government's talk and its deeds,'' KPCC President D K Shivakumar said.
