The Cell has also written to Director of Medical Education and Principal of Medical Education regarding Kasturba Medical College which charged Rs 75,000 fees for a Dalit student.

Devappa Hydangoor of Sullia urged the police officers to arrest Markanja Gram Panchayat President, Secretary and a Staff who allegedly involved in the financial irregularities of Rs. 42 lakh between 2005 and 2010. Since 75% of beneficiaries are Dalits, Dalit organisations will take out a massive protest, he said and urged the police authorities to arrest the accused before August 15.

Madikeri, Feb 23: Back-to-back floods and landslides in the last two years, has led to a fall in the number of tourists coming to the coffee-growing region of Kodagu, forcing the district administration to intervene and take confidence-building measures, telling tourists that Kodagu was safe to visit.

According to the statistics of the Karnataka State Tourism Department, Kodagu recorded a moderately good number of tourists in 2018 and 2019, the years that the district witnessed devastating floods and landslides.

The Department’s statistics reveal that 17 lakh tourists visited Kodagu in 2018 and 18 lakh in 2019. This means the flood-ravaged years did attract tourists contrary to what the stakeholders had claimed.
