Madikeri, Sep 14: A schoolboy, who was part of a Ganesh immersion procession, drowned in a pond at Arashinakuppe near Kushalnagar in Kodgau district.

The victim has been identified as Hemanth (13), son of Ananth Kumar and Padma couple from Arashinakuppe. He was a student of the government school at Siddalingapura.

According to sources, around a dozen boys took a Ganesha idol in a small procession and immersed it in a pond yesterday afternoon. One of the boys, Hemanth, lost balance while immersing the idol and drowned.

The other boys could not save Hemanth as no one knew how to swim in the deep water. They screamed for help, but in vain. The idol of Ganesha, which is considered as “the destroyer of all obstacles”, too did not respond.

A case has been registered at Kushalnagar rural police station and investigations are on.

I think, its not the mistake of that boy. Usually procession and immersion will be over crowded. That may be the reason

Bengaluru, Mar 14: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday suspended its proposed Akil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) meeting scheduled to be held in the outskirts of the city, in the wake of the outbreak of Coronavirus in the state.

'In view of the seriousness of the pandemic COVID-19 and in the light of instructions and advisories thereof issues by the Union and the state governments, the Akil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha meeting scheduled in Bengaluru has been suspended', Sarakaryavah Suresh Joshi tweeted.

All Swayamsevaks should cooperate with the administrations to create awareness among the public and to face this successfully, he said.

It may be recalled that Karnataka State Government had ordered shut down of pubs, malls, theatres, and ban mass gatherings over the Coronavirus scare, on Friday.

Bengaluru, Feb 22: The Hindu Mahasabha has decided to carry out a 'cleaning ceremony' by using 'gau-mutra' (cow urine) to purify Freedom Park, where pro-Pakistan slogans were shouted as a protest against the CAA, NRC and NRP.

On Thursday, an 18-year-old girl Amulya Leona hadraised slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad,' after the organisers of the event under the banner of 'Save Constitution' invited her to address the gathering. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi soon rushed and tried to snatch away mic from her hand.

Amulya, who was arrested by the police soon after the event on charges of Sedition, was remanded to 14-day judicial custody.

Associates of Amulya insisted that she was trying to make a point that nobody in the anti-CAA rallies would hail a ‘long Live Pakistan’ slogan while they would do so for a ‘Long Live Hindustan’ chant.

“She is not dumb. She knew exactly what she was saying. She had a clear narrative in mind, but was interrupted before she could complete it. Her half-comments are now being taken out of context,” said Sujnan, another student-activist. 

“In the end, the campaign is not involved with whatever she said or intended to say. It falls on her to explain herself,” said a protest organiser.
