February 12, 2016

Belagavi, Feb 12: More than two months after the arrest of a Muslim youth by Belagavi police on suspicion of links with terror outfits, the interrogation has failed to yield any leads, according to a senior police officer.

Additional Director- General of Police (ADGP- Law and Order) Alok Mohan has admitted that no information came out in the interrogation of a person arrested while he was suspiciously taking pictures of Sambra airport here crossing the security line on December 2, 2015.

Mohamad Bin Hussain Kureshi, 22, had arrested by Marihal police under the suspicion of disseminating key information to anti-national elements. Doubts triggered after checking pictures of airport and neighbouring defence establishments like air force base and proposed airforce radar station in Sulebhavi. He had also taken out to Kalburgi for further investigation.

However, police did not any substantial evidences from the accused after over two months of investigation. "We have to take people into custody and interrogate them when situation is suspicious. In this particular case, nothing came out anything that can be connected with anti-national elements" , Alok Mohan said speaking to the media persons here on Tuesday. However, he denied to reply whether the accused is still in police custody or released saying that the case is still under investigation.

Responding on increasing drug mafia in the state, officer said police department has launched war against drug mafia. He requested public to cooperate with police to shun the mafia by providing information. He urged public to contact senior police officials if they have noticed any drugs related illegal activities.

To cope up with such drug rackets, there is a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) works under central government, he said.

Unless MUSLIMs Spread the islamic teachings of accountability of our deeds. We will face such terrorism... People are ignorantly doing such acts cos they are weak in the knowledge of their CREATOR who created them and all. We Muslims are expecting such treatment cos the Prophet of ALLAH has foretold 1400+years ago...
Every action we do will be judged by ALLAH and a MUSLIM will not despair, His faith get more & more strong as prophet muhammad pbuh sayings are coming TRUE. May ALLAH ease his & innocents unjust suffering from the IGNORANT of the people who torture without knowing the reality of ACCOUNTABILITY infront of the CREATOR who gave us this wonderful LIFE .

Now we have to stop a while and ask a question why Muslims are not joining police department?

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
