Mangalore, January 18: The federation of Gram Panchayat presidents, vice-presidents and members on Wednesday demanded suspension of the police inspector and the personnel for carrying out lathicharge on innocent schoolchildren and the president of the Bajpe Gram Panchayat Shahul Hameed.

Speaking to reporters here Surendra Kambali, president of the union, threatened to launch a stir in front of the chief minister's office if immediate action was not taken against Circle Inspector Dinakar Shetty and his colleagues, who according to him, caned the young children and Mr. Hameed, who were staging a protest against the PWD personnel's bid to remove the humps in front of the Ansar English Medium School.

Since the existing humps had come off and the Gram Panchayat had decided to lay new humps. The PWD personnel had arrived at the venue to remove the existing humps before laying the new humps. The residents and the Gram Panchayat president had insisted that the humps should not be removed before the new humps had been put up. This had led to verbal exchange and the schoolchildren and the local residents had blocked the movement of vehicle in protest against the PWD's move.

But, in his bid to defuse the situation, Mr. Shetty ordered lathicharge which resulted in injuries to Mr. Hameed and several students of the Ansar school. The injured are Pavan Shetty, Shahir Anash, Naheem Hussain, Mohammed Shalim, Ismail Shafeeq and Mohammed Nabeer. They are Class 6,7 and 8 students of the school and are currently undergoing treatment, said Mr. Kambali.

Condemning the 'police brutality' he urged the government to immediately suspend the concerned officer and the policemen.

S.A. Razak Soorinje, secretary of the union, Raghu K. Ekkaru, president of Ekkaru Gram Panchayat, Narayana Bodhi, president Malavoor Gram Panchayat and U.P. Ibrahim, president of Gurupur Gram Panchayat and A.K. Abdul Sathar, former president of the he federation of Gram Panchayat presidents were present at the press meet.

On Tuesday, a delegation of Muslim Central Committee had met the State Human Rights Commission Chairman S.R. Nayak in Mangalore and demanded action against the guilty police officer and the staff.

The Popular Front of India and the Campus Front India have also condemned the incident.

Bengaluru, May 23: Karnataka reported 216 covid-19 positive cases in last 24 hours, marking the highest single day spike in the state ever since the first case was detected on 8 March. 187 of these 216 patients have recently returned from Maharashtra.

A 32-year old male resident of Bengaluru died on Saturday making it the 42nd fatality in the state.

The spike on Saturday takes the total number of covid-19 positive closer to the 2,000 mark and the number of active cases to 1,307 in the state, according to the daily health bulletin of the health department.

Yadgir in northern Karnataka recorded 72 cases on Saturday while Raichur recorded 40 cases. Cases in the sugarcane growing region of Mandya continued to rise as 28 people tested positive on Saturday that takes the total number of active cases to 211 as against Bengaluru that has 124.

Gadag registered 15 cases while Bengaluru recorded 4 cases.

Most of those who tested positive on Saturday had returned from other states, especially Maharashtra, one of the worst affected regions in the country.

The spike in cases comes even as the B.S.Yediyurappa-led state government is deliberating further easing of lockdown restrictions post 31 May. The state government has already resumed public bus and train services as well to facilitate inter-district movement of people that has added to fears of spreading the virus from cities to villages where healthcare infrastructure is poor and inadequate.

Karnataka will also see domestic flight arrivals from Monday.

In a statement on Saturday, Bengaluru International Airport said that it introduced ‘Parking-to-Boarding contactless’ journey.

“We have introduced innovative contactless procedures to minimise exposure at the Airport. These enhancements demonstrate our continued commitment to keep our passengers safe in this environment," said Hari Marar, managing director and chief executive of the airport said in a statement on Saturday.
