Mangalore, April 24: One of the immediate steps the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat needs to take is to drive away the feeling of inferiority complex from rural people said Dr. Sripathi Kalluraya, Lecturer of Economics, Mangalore University.

He was delivering the key-note address at a programme organized by Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat to celebrate the National Panchayat Raj Day in Mangalore on Tuesday.

Stressing on the need to bring the rural populace to the mainstream, Dr. Kalluraya said that the Panchayat must take confidence building measures and involve the rural people in their programmes and discussions beisides counseling them. He added that the Panchayat must figure out ways to utilize the rural expertise, their natural technology and skills.

Stating that Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat is stronger compared to other Zilla Panchayats in the state, Dr. Kalluraya said that it can partake in greater developmental activities in collaboration with the Dharmasthala rural development programme.

Pointing out that Panchayat Raj is 'our' system which has been in place in India for years unlike other systems of town planning and corporations which are foreign influences, Dr. Kalluraya said that of late a feeling of seeing everything in the prism of legality and legislature and ignoring the cultural norms has been disheartening.

Janardhan Gowda, President, Social Justice Standing Committee, in his inaugural address said that Panchayat Raj's true purpose is served only when it uplifts the weaker and marginalized sections of the society.

Dr. K N Vijayaprakash, CEO, Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat urged the officials of the Panchayat to put in their best and work with utmost dedication so that the goals set by the Panchayat are achieved successfully. He urged the members of the respective standing committees to ensure that electricity and toilet facilities are taken care of at Anganavadis, parks are created for physically challenged, rehabilitation facilities are provided to nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes and education of their children is taken care of via residential schools and so on.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Karnataka Police and intelligence have been asked to be on alert in the wake of communal violence in Delhi and take preemptive measures, state Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said here on Wednesday.

"We have been keeping a close watch on the developments after the Delhi incident. I have instructed my officers to be on alert and take precautionary actions rather than actions after the incidents," Bommai told media.

"The day before yesterday we had a high-level meeting...we are having a close watch," he added.

Violence erupted in Delhi on Sunday evening after groups protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and those supporting it indulged in stone pelting at each other.

The confrontation soon turned communal and the violence spread to other areas of northeast Delhi including Chand Bagh, Mustafabad, Brijpuri, Shiv Vihar and Noor Ilahi on Monday and Tuesday in which at least 20 persons, including a police head constable, have died and over 200 have been injured.

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.
