Mangaluru, Jun 1: The 61-day ban on fishing, which has been imposed to facilitate the breeding of fish, came into effect in Mangaluru and Udupi from Wednesday.

The ban during the breeding season helps replenish the fish stock in the sea by preventing large-scale netting of young fish and eggs.

The ban orders were imposed under the Karnataka Coastal Fishing (Regulation) Act 2014. During the period, all kinds of mechanised boats with engines (outboard as well as onboard) beyond 10 horse power capacity cannot venture into the sea for fishing.

However, conventional boats as well as boats fitted with outboard engines up to 10 hp capacity can engage in fishing during the period.

The Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district administration has urged fishermen to abide by the order in the interest of the fishermen community.

The Fisheries Department have asked the coastal security police and the Coast Guard to monitor the coastline during the ban period.

Those fishermen and fishing boats violating the ban would be dealt with as per the provisions of Karnataka Coastal Fishing Act 1986. They would also lose diesel subsidy for one year, officials warned.

From the East Coast

Despite the ban on fishing till July 31, the people in coastal Karnataka will not be completely deprived from the sea food as they get fish from the East coast, which has a different holiday season. Besides fish procured by conventional fishermen in coastal Karnataka for whom the holiday rule does not apply also will hit the market.

The uniform ban along the Western coast will also come into effect in coastal regions of Goa and Maharashtra.

Bengaluru, May 28: A thousand government schools in Karnataka are set to get Englishmedium sections from this academic year (2020-21). These institutions will function in both English and Kannada medium.

The decision was taken by primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar and officials of the education department at a meeting on Wednesday.

Suresh Kumar said dualmedium will help improve the standard of schools and enable their development. The poorest of the poor spend almost 40% of their income on their children’s education in private schools. With the introduction of dual-medium, the government hopes such families will be able to save their earnings, he said. These schools will impart lessons in both English and Kannada. They will also provide textbooks in both languages.

‘Kannada must for all’

The meeting reviewed implementation of the compulsory Kannada Language Learning Act, 2015. Officials from the Kannada Development Authority were present at the meeting who claimed that some private schools have failed to implement the Act properly.

“Action will be taken against such institutions. Every child studying in schools across the state must learn Kannada,” Kumar said at the meeting.
