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.

Bengaluru, May 17: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi on Sunday wrote to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari requesting to issue new lockdown guidelines including permission to operate public transport and said the lockdown has caused a financial loss of Rs 16,00 crore to all four Karnataka Transport Undertakings.

In view of these problems, the state Transport Minister requested Gadkari to permit the deployment of Non-AC buses on scheduled routes to ensure the adequacy of services.

The four State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in Karnataka which are providing bus-based public transport services within the state and to the neighbouring states are Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKRTC) and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).

"KSRTC, NWKRTC and NEKRTC operate buses for mofussil services i.e. Interdistrict, intradistrict and interstate, whereas BMTC operates only in urban and suburban areas in the city of Bengaluru. The four STUs put together hold a fleet of about 24,900 buses including 1,520 air-conditioned buses and operate about 71.00 lakh km. per day and carries about 98.00 lakh passengers every single day," Savadi outlined in the letter.

The Minister said due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown that ensued have brought regular bus operations and functioning to a grinding halt.

"This has caused a devastating impact on the operations of all the four STUs due to the combination of lack of revenue and continuing fixed costs such as salaries and pensions to staff, payables against existing loans etc. It has been estimated that the lockdown has caused a financial loss of INR 1,600/- crore to these four STUs," he added.

Savadi said even after post-COVID lockdown, operations and revenues won't reach its previous demand& supply patterns in the next six to eight months due to reduced economic activity and users' perceived risk of contacting COVID in public transport.

In addition to that, "occupancy should be allowed up to seating capacity (without standees). This is essential to meet minimal demand," he said in the letter.

"The crew should wear facemask and hand gloves. The crew with health issues should not be deployed. The face masks should be made mandatory for all the passengers. Only asymptomatic persons should be allowed to travel in public transport. The Government of India may consider staggering working hours for various sectors to reduce peak hour traffic demand," the minister listed out these recommendations in the letter.

Savadi said that with social distancing norm of reduced seating capacity in public transport, it will not be possible to provide transport facility to all the daily passengers. This will create demand for more buses, which cannot be met.

"Restrictions on public transport will lead to passenger commute by overcrowding in smaller vehicles like cars, maxi cabs, goods tempos etc. which will adversely affect preventive measures," he added.

Therefore, Savadi requested Union Minister to look into the above matter and issue fresh guidelines to all the states / UT's.
