Udupi, Jan 16: Renovated with sustainable eco-friendly features by the Bearys Group, the Badriya Jum’a Masjid of Kodi in Kundapur taluk was formally inaugurated by Moulana Sayyed Mohammed Rabey Hasani Nadvi, president, All India Muslim Personal Law Board, in the presence of a galaxy of religious scholars.

Speaking on the occasion he said that a mosque is centre of love, peace and humanity and it spreads the message of peace and brotherhood. He also called upon the Muslims to be harbingers of global peace by following the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.

Applauding Bearys Group for converting Badriya Jum’a Masjid into world’s first ‘zero energy’ eco-friendly green mosque, Maulana Mufti Mohammed Ashraf Ali Baqavi, principal of Darul Uloom Sabeelur Rashad, said that people of Kodi now bear the responsibility to spread peace and brotherhood through this facility.

Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, Khazi of Udupi district, CMD, Bearys Group, UT Khader, Minister for Health and Family Welfare were present among others.

The mosque design has integrated Islamic architecture and sustainable technologies. The important feature of this green building is that its entire energy requirement is met through hybrid renewable energy, both wind and solar.

80 year old mosque

Mr Beary said that the mosque was built by his grandfather 80 years ago. It was renovated 40 years ago and now it was renovated again with eco-friendly measures. “It is our little contribution in India’s march towards sustainable development,” he said and hoped that the mosque will become a holistic place of worship where people from all over the world can come, pray and find true solace.

The mosque, built on 15,000 sqft area, at a cost of Rs 2 crore has come up in a palatial ground accommodating greenery in and around. The cooling of the building is achieved by using elements of nature. The building orientation minimizes solar heat gain.

The ‘L’ shaped building plan and elevated nature of the prayer hall, green vegetation and water tanks around it offer a naturally cooled environment. The solar heat reflecting terrace floor, laid with white China mosaics and fitted with turbo vents, not only keep the prayer space cool, but also reduces warming of local micro climate, he said.

The power consumed is six kilo watts as against the actual requirement of 40 to 50 kilo watts. Its open envelope with sun rays travelling and non-conducting Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Jallis with over 50 per cent openings, increase natural ventilation.

The natural cooling of the building is accentuated by the wind scoop on 70 foot multifunctional Minaret (from where the Azan, the call for prayer is given) which forces down draft of cool breeze into the prayer hall and also supports the tower structure of wind turbine mounted atop it.

Use of hybrid renewable energy (Wind and solar energy) in the mosque will produce more energy than used by the mosque, thus feeding energy to state grid and accruing (CER) credits for next 25 years.

“Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Regenerate” technology has been implemented here and it is equipped with “Pressmatic” (Taps with technology that allows only a fixed quantity of water to flow with every press of its knob) water fixtures to conserve precious water, he claimed.

The calligraphy in Arabic, Chinese and Japanese languages on the walls of the mosque is done by Mukhthar Ahmed, the head of Institute of Indo-Islamic Art and culture, Bengaluru. The mosque also accommodates a library.

Dell has also made other strides toward becoming a greener technology company.
However, the industry believes that, at present,
China's household electrical appliance recycling enterprises
are facing difficulties. According to him, the practice of scrap metal recycling in Los Angeles will not only help us keep the environment clean but also make some
additional money.

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Our motto is 'First Farmers'. The new amendment in the APMC Act will provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their produce directly to any purchase outside APMC or in other APMCs. This will help the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce," CM Yediyurappa tweeted.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM added.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
