DKMA, which came into existence in May 2016 with the sole intention of helping bereaved and aggrieved poor Muslim families in Dakshina Kannada district in case of sudden demise of their breadwinners, had already given identity and health cards to around 150 beneficiaries.

Speaking after distributing the cards, S M Rashid Haji, the founder president of DKMA, said that 40 more beneficiaries will be provided cards at Yedapadavu on February 2.

He said that the Association has already provided Rs 2 lakhs each to two families so far and another family will receive the same amount next week.

The Association is supposed to donate Rs 2 lakh to the family of each beneficiary card holder after his or her demise. The families of only those who get beneficiary cards from DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount. The beneficiaries will also be eligible to get free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte.

Mangaluru, Jun 2: Karnataka-Kerala border at Talapady is yet to be opened for traffic despite lifting lockdown. Only those, who have registered on ‘Seva Sindhu’ portal, are given one-time permission to enter the district.

With the relaxation of the lock-down many, especially the labour class, were anticipating free movement. However, both the States have not allowed free movement of vehicles. Hundreds of people from bordering villages of Kerala arrive in Mangaluru for work and likewise many from bordering villages of Mangaluru too work in Kasargod district.

It has become a routine for the labourers of both the States living in border villages to daily assemble at the check post in the morning and return after the authorities refuse free movement.

Mangaluru, Jun 11: City police on Thursday filed a 700-page chargesheet in connection with the arrest of Aditya Rao, 36, accused of planting an IED at Mangaluru International Airport on January 20.

The chargesheet said the bag placed near MIA entrance had a real bomb, as per the FSL report. The IED in the tin box was made of sulphur, ammonium nitrate, potassium chlorate and charcoal.

Rao, an engineer, who learnt bomb-making through online videos, had also placed a timer along with it and sharp objects such as nails and metals. However, he had not fixed wires to trigger a blast. “His intention was not to cause a blast but only to create a scare,” said sources.

The bomb was made in less than two weeks. However, it had taken Rao several days to procure raw materials. Police had completed the chargesheet process in April.
