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.

Kannadigas in UAE urge additional evacuation flights to Mangaluru

May 13,2020

Mangaluru, May 13: Kannadigas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have sought additional flights to return to Karnataka during a video conference with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa here on Tuesday.

Noting that most of the ex-pats in UAE were from the coastal region, they urged the state government to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangalore International Airport.

Many Kannadigas in the UAE were left unemployed due to the lockdown. “Many of them do not have the means to return to Karnataka and the state government should aid them,” representatives of various Kannadiga ex-pat groups urged the CM.

Yediyurappa said that the government has made all arrangements to bring back the ex-pats, and assured to fulfil all their demands.

Karnataka CM in Delhi to discuss Ministry expansion

News Network

January 30,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 30: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who reached the national capital on Thursday, said he will discuss the much-awaited Ministry expansion with the BJP high command.

"It's been long that I visited Delhi. I will meet the party national president J P Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah and take their suggestions on the cabinet expansion," Yediyurappa told reporters.

The chief minister said he will also call on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and discuss about development issues related to Karnataka.

Yediyurappa has been anxiously waiting for the high command's nod to expand his ministry amid intense lobbying by the aspirants.

Opposition parties have been critical of the BJP and Yediyurappa over the delay in cabinet expansion, alleging that he was weak and that the administration had collapsed.

As the chief minister has already made it clear that 11 of the disqualified JDS-Congress MLAs who got re-elected in the bypolls on BJP tickets will be made ministers, lobbying has been on in the party for the remaining ministerial berths.

Currently, there are 18 Ministers, including the chief minister in the cabinet that has a sanctioned strength of 34. Sixteen berths are vacant.

one day snake must come out from rat hole...that day we will wait

Dear DC Dr. Harsha, we want to know if you will take strict action on these anti nationals / rowdis / day robbers / terrorists who ransacked auto + beaten the auto driwer and stolen Rs. 10,000 from him though he was legally transporting the meat. They same terrorists are involved in transporting live animals to beef export houses in Gujrat owned by Brahmins / Jains. Will you be loyal to your duty and promise. We will see how you will handle the issue failing which you will lose our respect and we will consider you as a dramabaz and phenku. You should follow the law and treat everyone equally. There should not be any pity on goondas/ terrorists belonging to sangh parivar. The terrorists who thrashed the auto driver and damaged the auto and burnt the meat by pouring kerosene are not human beings and should be treated as anti nationals + terrorists. We hope you will discharge your duty as per the oath taken by you while accepting your post.
