Manipal, January 20: Holding Udupi District administration responsible for the continuation of Ajalu tradition across the district, the Federation of Koraga Development Associations, Karnataka-Kerala on Thursday staged a dharna in front of the office of Udupi Deputy Commissioner, here.

In a memorandum submitted to to Deputy Commissioner Dr M T Reju the Federation President Susheela Nada alleged that there is a sheer violation of Karnataka Koragas (Prohibition of Ajalu Practice) Act 2000 and special notification of 2002 in the recent incident that took place at Inna of Karkala taluk.

She informed that in the Nemothsava, that was held on January 16 and 17 at Bakimaru field in Inna, Koraga community people were used to perform Ajalu practice.

Despite the fact that Karkala Tahsildar was requested to take action prior to the incident, the tradition was practised in the annual fair. The Tahsildar had informed that he has issued orders to the police. However, the police have ignored the issue and have failed to take measures, she alleged.

She demanded that the district administration should take stringent action against the violations of Karnataka Koragas (Prohibition of Ajalu Practice) Act 2000, besides taking measures to implement the Act effectively across the district. She demanded that the Sub Inspector of the area should be suspended immediately besides taking action against Inna Gram Panchayat PDO.

Suspension orders should be issued to PDO immediately citing the reasons of his failure to take action against the violation of the Act, she said and added that the Association will go on indefinite hunger protest if the district administration fails to take stern measures against the evil practice.

Tumkur, Jun 2: Karnataka Agriculture Minister BC Patil on Monday said that state will not be affected due to locust swarm as it has moved to other states.

"There will be no effect as locust insects diverted to other states after they came from Pakistan. We were also worried and were prepared to face it, luckily we will not be affected by insects," he said.

Locust is a type of grasshoppers and moves in large numbers and devastates crops. Several parts of Rajasthan including Ganganagar have reported locust attacks.

There is a prediction of another attack in June this year.

New Delhi, Mar 4: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed a trial court in Ramanagara district of Karnataka to ensure the presence of absconding self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda to face trial in a 2010 rape case.

A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde also allowed a plea by K Lenin alias Nithya Dharmananda, former driver of Nithyananda and had filed a complaint against Nithyananda, for cancellation of non-bailable warrants issued against him.

The apex court ordered the cancellation of the non-bailable warrants issued against the complainant in the case on the condition he shows up before the trial court in Ramanagara district today itself.

He had challenged the Karnataka High Court's February order where non-bailable warrants were issued against Lenin for not appearing before the court for recording evidence.

"Having heard the counsel appearing for the petitioner and upon perusal of the record, we see no reason to interfere with the judgment and order passed by the High Court, which merely directs the petitioner to give evidence in support of his complaint," read the apex court order passed on Tuesday.

The Bench also directed that "the concerned trial court shall make every effort to ensure the presence of accused (Nithyananda) to face the proceedings."

The Karnataka High Court had last month cancelled the bail granted to Nithyananda, even as the state police claimed the absconding godman was on a 'spiritual tour'.

Nithyananda is facing charges of rape and indulging in unnatural sex. He was arrested on April 22, 2010, however, granted bail on June 11, the same year.
