Mangaluru, Feb 2: At least six residents of Janata Colony in Surathkal, on the outskirts of the city, suffered injuries after a group of over two dozen unidentified miscreants allegedly attacked them last night for unknown reason.

The injured have been identified as Madhava Poojary (36), Madhu (29), Anil (40), Shiva Ganiga (24), Chandra Kanth (20) and Janaki (50). All of them have been admitted to a nearby hospital.

Even though the injured claimed that the gang assaulted them with sword, knife and other lethal weapons no serious injuries were found on their body.

The exact reason for the assault and the identities of the assailants are not yet known. However the bizarre claims of the injured paved way for confusion among locals and police.

One of the injured claimed that they were assaulted by a Muslim group because local Hindus had objected the construction of a mosque in Janata Colony. Another injured said that the reason behind the attack was that a few local Hindus had created awareness against ganja.

A few other local residents suspect that the attack might be the continued part of a clash that took place last Saturday between a few Muslim youths and local resident Christine Mascarenhas over latter’s goat.

Jurisdictional Surathkal police has registered cases based on the claims of the injured and investigation is on.

Bengaluru, Jun 5: The Karnataka government has asked all its departments and authorities to avoid during all official transactions the nomenclature "Dalit" for members belonging to the Scheduled Castes.

"All the departments and authorities of government of Karnataka are requested that (use of name Dalit) for all official transactions, matters, dealings, certificates, among others," the official circular said.

The Constitutional term Scheduled Caste in English and its appropriate translation in other national languages should alone be used for denoting the persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes notified in the presidential orders issued under Article 341 of the Constitution, the circular said.

The circular issued on May 20 notes instructions issued by the Central government in 2018, with reference to the order of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior Bench.

"That the Central government/state government and its functionaries would refrain from using the nomenclature "Dalit" for the members belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes as the same does not find mentioned in the Constitution or any statute," the order had said.

Pointing out that the Central government had earlier issued instructions that the words "Harijan" and "Girijan" should not be used, the circular said accordingly the Karnataka government also had issued a Government Order in 2010.
