Manglauru, Nov 28: The issue of bars within residential areas was so far mere a question of right or wrong rather than anything to do with the law. However, U T Khader, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, has now suggested bringing an amendment to the law to prevent bars functioning in residential areas.

On December 27, residents of Talapady Narlapadil (which falls under Mangaluru constituency represented by Mr Khader) on the outskirts of the city staged a protest opposing the opening of a bar in their locality. Mr Khader, who visited the protesters, said that government should find legal way to prevent opening bars in residential areas.

"After the Supreme Court's order, the bars situated beside the highway are being shifted to residential areas. There is a need for a tough law to check the setting up of bars in residential areas,” he said.

He also promised the protesters that the issue of opening a bar at Talapady Narlapadil would be brought to the notice of the Excise Minister and Excise Department.

Karnataka Gadinadu Rakshana Vedike President Siddeeq Talapady said that while issuing the permit, the gram panchayat has not consulted the villagers.

"If the bar is allowed to open, then we will hold a protest by locking Talapady gram panchayat," he warned.

Taluk Panchayat member Surekha Chandrahas said the opening of a bar at Narla will pose inconvenience to the residents, especially women.

Totaly rubbish. Bars should be in residential areas. If it is not in residential area then where it should be. You people wants bars in INDUSTRIAL AREA.! Anyway I am sure about one thing, govt wont do complete ban. Because they are getting more revenue from bars because of me and my barmates

Many family getting trouble only because of this. Either ban completely or ban partially. Ensure bars are not in residential areas.

Bengaluru, Feb 15: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has decided to set aside two days - March 2 and 3 - for a special discussion over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act continues across the country.

Assembly Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri told media persons here today that the Assembly would act as a platform for legislators to speak about the relevance of the Constitution and its contributions for the last seven decades. He had already held a round of discussions with senior legislators and all have expressed their willingness to participate in the debate. More details of the discussion would be worked out in the next few days after a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House on February 18.

Asked whether it would be possible to have discussions rising above partisan politics in the present scenario, Mr. Kageri said “I have appealed to members to discuss the Constitution beyond the political prism.” Each member would be asked to speak on a specific topic of the Constitution.
