Udupi, September 7: The window (kindi) on the outer wall of the Sri Krishna Temple, and the window at the sanctum sanctorum of the same Temple can be called as Kanakana Kindi, according to Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishvesha Thirtha Swamiji.

“As the chief pontiffs of all eight Mutts of Udupi always have highest respect for Kanka Dasa, they don't have any objection in calling both the kinidis (windows) as kindis of kanaka,” the seer stated.

The statement comes following the protests over his controversial suggestion to call the window at the sanctum sanctorum of the Temple as 'Navagraha Kindi'.

The seer said that he came to know that his suggestion has hurt the feelings of Koraga community, which is a part of Hinduism. “But, the name 'Navagraha Kindi' was given after consulting then chief swamiji of Kanaka peetha and all the leaders of Koraga community,” he said.

However, he reiterated, he did not have any objection in naming both Kindis as Kindis of Kanaka, if the Koraga community was not ready to include the word Navagraha.

The Pejawar seer meanwhile urged the people not the make Kanaka Kindi, a bone of contention.

Karnataka CM announces further relief COVID-19 package

News Network

May 15,2020

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Friday announced further relief package to the lockdown affected people.

Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister said about Rs 500 crore would be earmarked to distribute to over 10 lakh farmers, who had grown Jowar and also cash compensation to the shepherds who would lose sheep and goats due to natural disasters.

While commending the efforts of the ASHA workers, who are remained in the frontline in fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chief Minister said an additional Rs 3000 would be remitted to their bank accounts as an incentive.

The Chief minister had announced Rs 1610 crore cash relief package to benefit the auto drivers, barbers and washermen, last week.

He had also announced relief package to the farmers, and migrant workers and construction workers.

Replying to questions, he denied that by bringing amendment to the APMC Act, farmers would be suffered.

Brushing aside the criticism over an ordinance brought to the APMC Act by the Opposition Congress and the JD(S), the Chief Minister said “Amendment had been brought after taking care that farmers interests will not be adversely affected”.
