Mangalore, Apr 2: Well-known Kannada anchor Hameed Palya has assumed charge as the new Chief of 'Suvarna News 24X 7, the Asianet's second channel in the Kannada speaking market.

Sources within the channel said that he was appointed as chief on Thursday, March 31. HR Ranganath, who was holding the top post since September, 2009, will continue with the channel as the advisor of the editorial board.

It can be recalled that when Mr Ranganath had joined the channel after quitting 'Kannada Prabha' daily, then Chief Shashidhar Bhat had been given a new role as the advisor of the editorial board, though he held the position for a short period.

Fans across the state are curiously awaiting how the most appreciated Kannada anchor, hailing from Palya, a village near Hassan, will lead his channel and compete with other round the clock news channels.

However, the fans of Mr Ranganath need not to be disappointed as he will continue to host the two popular shows of the channel: 'Jugal Bandi' and 'Public Voice'. Mr Ranganath has played a key role in attracting large number of viewers to the 'Suvarna News 24X 7'.

Hameed Palya made his debut in the world of media as a news-reader with ETV Kannada in the early 2000s and got a real break when he joined TV9 around 2005 and gained popularity for his gripping interviews of news-makers under the title Chakravyooha.

A law graduate and son of a PWD contractor, the Beary speaking Palya grew in stature after becoming the political editor of Suvarna News 24x7 and was also duly acknowledged with Rajyotsava and Madhyama Academy awards.

Bengaluru, Feb 10: A group of women on Monday started a protest against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) here near Bilal Masjid.

Members of the transgender community on Sunday had also taken out a march here to express solidarity with those protesting against CAA, NRC, and NPR.

The newly enacted law is facing stiff opposition across the country with some states including Kerala, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Punjab refusing to implement it. Rajasthan, Kerala, and Punjab have also passed resolutions against the amended citizenship law in their legislative Assemblies.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
