September 5, 2015

Mandya, Sep 5: A tense atmosphere prevailed at Hulivana village in Mandya on Friday, following violence that erupted on Thursday night in the wake of an alleged inter-caste marriage between a Dalit boy and a Lingayat girl.

What triggered the violence was the marriage of Santosh, from a Scheduled Caste community, with a girl belonging to so called upper caste.

According to a source, the parents of the girl gave their consent to the marriage reluctantly, but barred her from visiting them and community leaders gave an undertaking to the police that they would not indulge in violence. However, some miscreants belong to upper caste went ahead and damaged property in a Dalit colony.

Fifteen policemen and eight Dalit men were injured in the clash and 24 houses were damaged in stone-pelting. Two vehicles were also torched. The police had to cane the mob to bring the situation under control.

A group of men threw stones at the house of the Dalit boy and other houses at 8 pm on Thursday. The police took one of them into custody. Irked over this, the group started attacking the policemen, leaving 15 of them injured. The police resorted to caning to disperse the crowd. Around 42 persons were taken into custody for inquiry. Shops remained closed on Friday anticipating trouble.

IGP (Southern Range) Vijaykumar Singh, SP Bushan Borase and others visited the Dalit Colony on Friday. Four DAR forces, two KSRP platoons, and a fire tender have been stationed at the village.

A Dalit youth, Pradeep, and a Lingayat woman were in love and went missing three days ago. The trouble started when a section of the people got information that the duo had married. The girl’s parents lodged a complaint of kidnap against the boy. But later, it was clarified that both were majors.

The boy’s house was attacked on September 2. A case was booked on September 3 in this regard. After Thursday’s violence, cases have been registered against 68 people for not allowing the police to do their duty. Cases were also registered against 58 persons based on a complaint lodged by a woman, Kamakshamma.

Elusive bamboo shrimp resurfaces in Mangaluru estuary after 70 years

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.
