Madikeri, Sep 12: On the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, a group of cow vigilantes belonging to saffron outfits, shot at a a pickup vehicle transporting cattle, and brutally assaulted two persons at Kaggodlu near Madikeri in Kodagu district.

fireThe victims are vehicle driver Abdul Salam (40) and P A Basheer (35), residents of Kondangeri in Madikeri taluk. Salam has suffered serious head injuries and has been shifted to Mangaluru for treatment.

Suspecting that the vehicle was transporting two cows, the miscreants tried stop the pick-up vehicle on Sunday. When the driver refused to stop the vehicle, one of the miscreants shot at the vehicle and ordered the driver and others to alight from the vehicle. After the latter alighted, they were beaten black and blue, while the glass of the vehicle was damaged.

The assailants claimed that the victims were transporting cows stolen from the house of Ganapathi at Kaggodlu. SDPI workers and relatives of the assault victims, however, rubbished the accusation that the cattle were stolen.

“Basheer is a farmer and had purchased the cattle from Ganapathi for ploughing. The telephonic conversation between Ganapathi and Basheer can be verified. The cattle were being transported, when the youth assaulted Basheer and the driver and also attacked the vehicle," they insisted.

On the complaint of attempt to murder by shooting, the police have registered a case against Kumar, Madhu Mohan of Kaggodlu, Raja, Vittal of Hakkathoor, Jithesh from Mekeri, and Balakrishna from Biligiri. Meanwhile, Ganapathi, who is also a saffron activist, has filed a theft case against Basheer and Salam accusing them of stealing his cattle.

Expecting justice from impotent government is no use.

BJP one end shows that they are protecting cows, in other end exports beef to foreign countries for more profit.

If they think cow is their God. I think muslims should respect and should refrain from slaughtering cow. One day they will realise that what they have done. In every friday prayer. Imam should announce not to slaughter cow. If it hurts their sentiments.

We also know that its a political game to divide the people. Cow they are using as a bakra.

No 1. Exporter of beef is india. After modi comes to power. India beat brazil. Before brazil was no 1 exporter of beef. Al kabir we all know he is hindu. Who is a big exporter.

If these kind of fight continue. Then india will divide into 4 countries again.

One for hindus second for muslims third for cristains fourth for dalits.
One part for h

Shivamogga, Jun 30: The organic farmers' market in Shivamogga in Karnataka has seen a rise in the demand for organic fruits and vegetables in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Residents of nearby areas frequently visit the market to get fresh produce.

According to Sridhar, a farmer who sells his produce in the market, the demand for organic fruits and vegetables was very low before the coronavirus outbreak.

"I have been involved in organic farming for the last two decades but there was no real market. Since these days everyone is trying to boost their immunity, we are getting a lot of positive response from the locals," he told news agency.

Sridhar and other farmers come from villages near the city. They are authentic organic farmers under the Vikas Trust and Savayava Krishi Parivar, a federation of organic farmer's families based in Karnataka, and they promote pesticide and fertiliser free agriculture.

Gurumel Singh, who often comes to the local market said, "My family has started eating more organic fruits and vegetable now because of the pandemic. We have been told it is important to take care of our health and organic fruits and vegetables are good immunity boosters. The fruits I buy from the organic market are also much sweeter than the ones I get elsewhere."
