Mysuru, Feb 26: MLC Go Madhusudan has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to table the report of the Karnataka State Minorities Commission on Wakf properties, headed by Anwar Manipadi, in the coming legislature session so as to protect properties that rightfully belong to the minorities. The report was submitted on March 26, 2012.madhusudhan

Addressing mediapersons here on Thursday, the MLC said, politicians from the minority community, belonging to all parties, had usurped around 57,000 acres of Wakf land in the State and politicians from other communities too like Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjuna Kharge and former chief minister Dharam Singh own a few of these properties.

“The government value of the said 57,000 acres of land is estimated at Rs 2.5 lakh crore and its market value would be around Rs 15 lakh crore. If the money, looted by the so called leaders of the minority community, is distributed among the minority people (considering their population in the State to be around one crore), each person will get Rs 15 lakh,” he said.

Noting that the Wakf properties had become like ATMs (anytime money) for minority community leaders, Madhusudan said that the vested interests in the minority community were not allowing the tabling of the report.

“The High Court had directed the State government to table the report, based on the petition filed by former minister S K Kantha. During the last session, in November last, as the government did not abide by the ruling of the Speaker to table the report on the basis of the privilege motion moved by legislators A H Shivayogi Swamy, Ganesh Karnik and K Monappa Bhandary, I had staged a dharna in the Council. The vested interests are trying to prevent the report from being tabled for the fear of being exposed,” Madhusudan said.

The MLC, whose term ends on July 4, has written to the chief minister in this regard, recalling that he had written a similar letter on October 27, 2015.

Tumakuru, Jun 30: As many as 43 sheep were quarantined after a shepherd tested positive for novel coronavirus at Godekere Gollarahatti in Tumakuru district. 

J C Madhuswamy, district in-charge minister, has instructed the district administration and the Animal Husbandry department to subject the sheep to Covid-19 tests.

The move followed after five sheep found dead in mysterious circumstances at the village. All 43 sheep of the infected person have been isolated from the herd and kept at a place in Jakkanahalli.

"There is no evidence that the sheep can contract Covid-19 and transmit the virus to the people. But since the virus has many strains and keep changing its genetic make-up, draw throat swab samples of the sheep and send the same to Covid-19 lab. Till the report comes, keep the livestock in isolation," Madhuswamy told the officials.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.
