The victim, Mohammed Sadan, was one of the seven family members on board the ill-fated boat that sank due to some technical snag.

Even though the lifeguards helped the six others to reach ashore safe, they failed to rescue the little boy. His parents Shami Ilahi and Fathima, residents of Natekal near Deralakatte were among the rescued.

Shami Ilahi, an NRI, who had recently come to Indian on a vacation, took his family members to the beach on Wednesday evening. The family decided to enjoy a boat ride before returning home.

All of them were given life jackets before boarding the boat. As there was no small size life jacket, the little boy also was given adults' life jacket. When the boat sank the child slipped from his parents' hands. As soon as he fell into the sea, the life jacket also slipped from his body.

Negligence by lifeguards?

The family members and beach goers held lifeguards responsible for the tragedy. Had the lifeguards started rescue operation without delay the boy could have been saved, said Haneef, one of the family members. The boy's body washed ashore after several hours of search by coastal security police and lifeguards.

Karnataka govt hikes milk prices by Rs 2 per litre

News Network

January 30,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 30: The BJP government of Karnataka has given green signal to the proposal of hiking milk prices by Rs 2 per litre.

The new prices will come into effect from February 1. Seeking revision of prices, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) had submitted a proposal last week to the state government. Alongside the revision of milk prices, the state government has also hiked the prices of curd by Rs 2 per liter.

The sudden hike in the prices of milk, curd is likely to have a cascading effect on the milk related beverages such as coffee, tea, and milkshakes with hoteliers and eateries mulling to increase the prices of coffee and tea following the hike in prices.

Sources in the state government revealed to DH that out of Rs 2, farmers will be getting a lion’s share as their accounts will be credited with Rs 1. Another 40 paise will be given to the farmers towards the insurances of their livestock.

Another 40 paise will go to the milk salesmen in the form of commission. The remaining 20 paise will be distributed among the workforce at the milk cooperative unions as an additional incentive.

Why BJP hesitating to restore Lokayukta in Karnataka, asks Santhosh Hegde

coastaldigest.com news network

February 5,2020

Tumakuru, Feb 5: Former Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde has questioned the integrity of the B S Yediyurappa led BJP government as it has not taken an action to abolish the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to re-establish the Lokayukta in Karnataka.

Speaking after felicitating the retired scientist of NASA Gopal Iyengar at the Karnataka Public School at Kadaba in Gubbi taluk he reminded that the BJP had promised to establish the Lokayukta.

"No party will like to strengthen the Lokayukta and now BSY is also tightlipped and even put an end by appreciating that ACB has been doing a good job", he regretted.

In fact, the Lokayakuta had the power to prosecute even the top brass of officials and now the ACB cannot without the government's permission, he clarified.

He denied any remarks on the CAA and NRC but observed that the youths of the country have been misguided by the politicians as they lost their focus on education by involving in protest rallies.

"I suggest they to straight away take a political plunge instead of getting misused at the hands of the politicians with selfish motives", he said.
