Mangaluru, Mar 22: The State government on Monday told the High Court of Karnataka that A.B. Ibrahim, Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Dakshina Kannada district, was not officiating as the DC under the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, 1997 for the district.

ibrahimState Advocate-General Madhusudan R. Naik informed the court that the Additional Deputy Commissioner of the district has been entrusted with the task of DC (Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments) as per the circular issued by the State.

The A-G was responding to the allegation made in a petition that Mr. Ibrahim has been officiating as the DC (Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments) in violation of the Act, which makes it mandatory that a person professing Hindu religion only could be appointed to these posts for discharge of duties under the Act.

The submission was made during the hearing of a petition filed by a devotee of Puttur Mahalingeshwara temple seeking removal from Mr. Ibrahim's name from the invitation card of the temple's annual festival saying that printing of Mr. Ibrahim's name violates the purpose of the Act.

It was also told to the court that Mr. Ibrahim's name was printed on the invitation in his capacity as the DC of the district. However, counsel for the petitioner disagreed with the government's submission and reiterated the allegation that Mr. Ibrahim did discharge the functions of the DC (Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments) in violation of the law.

Following this, Justice A.S. Bopanna, asked petitioner's counsel to submit relevant documents to establish the allegation and adjourned further hearing till March 24.

As I said earlier in the year of 1987 Asst.Commissioner, Revnue Kundapura, Mr. Ashwath Nayarana Gowda was appointed as an administrator for Udipi Jam1ya Masjid. This was ordered by Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka. Both parties of Jamiya Masjid agreed to this court order.

It is very unfair on the part of Hindu Fundamentalist, removing the name of DC, the present moktesar of the Maha Lingeswara Temple of Puttur. MLA Shakuntala played divisive role on this issue. There are many Temples in Coastal Karnataka, Mulki Bappanadu, Kollur Mukambika where muslims are involved for yearly car festivals and in Yellur udupi district, the vadya is managed by Muslims. Almost fire works for the all temples are provided by a family of Bailoor, Karkala Belvai Muslims. Even in Udupi Krishna Temple fire works were supplied by Muslims.

Saffrons/BJP have no other work than divisive politics. Shame Shame..............

Bengaluru,  Jun 19: Following the coronavirus outbreak, Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has introduced ultraviolet treatment while scanning outbound baggage apart from other measures to enhance passenger and staff safety.

"Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. These Tunnels are located at a cordoned-off area of the Terminal," according to a statement by the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).

The airport plans to use an ultra-low volume (ULV) spray treatment for check-in bags: all outbound passenger baggage is sanitised before dispatch to the aircraft

Authorities also plan to minimise use of additional trays for footwear by introducing specially designed trays; the trays that are in use are UV treated and sanitised manually after every use.

Officials are currently in the process of implementing silver nano-coating for frequently used touchpoints for self disinfection like check-in counters, Immigration counters, ATRS trays, etc. Currently, sanitisation of high-traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces continues to be done every thirty minutes manually without disrupting the flow of passengers.

All high-traffic areas are sanitised once every three hours by using ULV machines - eight times in 24 hours.

Washrooms across the Airport premises are sanitised on a regular basis with dedicated manpower, irrespective of the frequency of use. 456 units of tabletop hand sanitiser and 107 units of sensor-based hand sanitisers have been placed across the Terminal.

120 biowaste bins located across the Airport campus enable passengers and staff to dispose of their masks, gloves and other PPE conveniently and safely. This bio-waste is managed by a dedicated team and handed over to a Pollution Control Board-approved vendor and taken away for incineration.

The Airport said that the passenger feedback for the contactless process has been positive. "The objective of the process is to minimise physical contact and enhance passenger throughput," it said.

These sanitisation measures come in light of the highly infectious COVID-19 pandemic which spreads through person-to-person contact. Small droplets from the nose or mouth can spread the virus when they land on objects and surfaces around the person.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.
