DySP Anupama Shenoy may withdraw resignation if transferred to Mangaluru'

Udupi, Jun 7: Anupama Shenoy, the Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district, whose sudden resignation attracted the attention of media and opposition parties, may change her decision if the state government transferred her to Mangaluru, according to her family.

anuAnupama is the eldest among the three children of Radhakrishna Shenoy and Nalini Shenoy, who hail from Ucchila near Bada village of Udupi district. The Shenoys have been running a small tea canteen at Ucchila for the last 40 years.

“If my daughter is transferred to Mangaluru, she may withdraw her resignation,” said Radhakrishna, who accuses both her seniors in the police department and the elected representatives of not supporting her.

Recalling how he took great pains to educate his daughter, Radhakrishna said: “Had I known that she would be tortured so much, I wouldn't have had to provide for her higher education.”

“I ran a canteen to fund her education... She is staying away from the family for the time being,” he said.

It could be recalled here that when a group of people staged protest against her last Saturday, the DySP rushed into her chamber, wrote out her resignation letter and handed it over to an inspector.

As per protocol, Anupama should have submitted her resignation to Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ballari Range through the Superintendent of Police, Ballari, but instead, handed it over to her junior officer, circle police inspector Nagappa Bankali.

BJP, JD(S) seize opportunity

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (Secular) have utilised the fresh development to target Chief Minister Siddramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka.

Union Minister Ananth Kumar charged the CM with behaving irresponsibly in connection with the resignation of a s woman police officer.

“Does a higher police official have no relationship with the state government? What was the intelligence bureau doing if the chief minister had no information about the developments which led to Anupama's resignation? Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G?Parameshwara are showing a dictatorial and adamant attitude to hide their failures,” Ananthkumar told reporters here on Monday.

The police system is under pressure due to the cold war between Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara, he added.

Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish?Shettar said the Congress government was discouraging honest officials and was protecting the corrupt.

“We have information that harassment of Anupama Shenoy continued even after she was re-posted to Kudligi, after the incident of putting Minister P?T?Parameshwar Naik's call on hold, and public outcry over her transfer to Indi. Her resignation is an indication of what other officers are facing. The chief minister, home minister or DGP should talk to her on the real reason for her resignation. Otherwise, other officials will also be demoralised,” Shettar said.

JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy said Anupama shouldn't have resigned and sought transfer instead. He praised her for taking on the labour minister and cracking down on illegalities in Ballari. “Her resignation clearly shows there is no protection for officials under this government,” he said.

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Air India Express flight brought around 170 passengers from Bahrain to Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission yesterday. 

This is the first VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru. The flight took off from Bahrain at 10 am on Sunday and landed at Mangaluru International airport at 4.45 pm. 

Even though thousands of Indian expatriates from other gulf countries were brought to Mangaluru in past few weeks, no flight was arranged from Bahrain so far. Hence, several Mangalureans including senior citizens, women and patients were stranded in Bahrain for months together.

Local entrepreneur and president of Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Mohammed Mansoor, who saw the plight of the hapless Indian expatriates in Bahrain had discussions with the Indian embassy in Bahrain and convinced it to arrange a special Air India Express flight under the Vande Bharat Mission. 

IOC, along with the cooperation of ‘KHK Heroes’ had arranged meal kits for passengers during their flight to Mangaluru. IOC had also contacted all the Mangaluru-based NRIs who wanted to fly back to India and made a list with the help of Indian embassy to avoid any untoward incidents.

IOC had also given details of hotels to be quarantined in Mangaluru and Udupi, names of nodal officers to be contacted and emergency telephone numbers. The passengers were given a warm farewell by the office bearers of IOC from Bahrain international airport.

The effort taken by Mohammed Mansoor, president of IOC is lauded by all. All the passengers who travelled by the flight have thanked IOC and its office bearers whole heartedly.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Congress MLA Priyank Kharge has questioned the Karnataka government on the alleged breakdown of oxygen in the intensive care unit (ICU) at ESIC hospital in Kalaburagi, saying he had got complaints that eight persons who were on ventilators had died.

He asked the government if it is "deliberately" hiding something about the patients that were admitted in ESIC.

"I have got complaints that eight people who were on ventilators are dead in ESIC Kalaburagi because there was oxygen breakdown in ICU. ESIC has not been admitting patients as the issue has not been resolved. Nobody is confirming or denying it. Is the Government deliberately hiding something?" he asked.
Kharge also accused the government of not having adequate facilities to combat COVID-19 in different parts of the state.

"I hope I am wrong, but if it is a fact, this ascertains that the administration has lost control over Corona pandemic in the district. No addition testing centre. No beds are available. PPE Kits and medical waste is thrown in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS)," he added.

According to the Union Health Ministry, there are 67420 COVID-19 cases in the state.
