Manglauru, May 23: As the tussle between two factions for wresting administrative control of the Ullal Juma Masjid and Sayyid Madani Dargah continued, Health and Family Welfare Minister UT Khader has initiated dialogues between group leaders.

Mr Khader, who is also the local MLA, said that appointing an administrator for the historic Dargah is not a solution for the issues pertaining to management committee.

Recently, Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner A B Ibrahim had recommended the secretary, Minority Welfare, Hajj and Wakf Department to appoint an administrator or direct the 49 elected members for the administrative board of the Dargah to elect a president and office bearers to end the imbroglio.

The DC's concern is that with Holy month of Ramadan starting in the first week of June, the non-formation of the administrative committee would put the pilgrims to lot of hardships as required facilities will not be available. The DC also stated in a letter to the secretary that clashes may erupt between the two groups in this attempt to wrest power apart from hampering admission process to educational institutions and dispensing salaries to staff.

Mr Khader said that he will take initiatives to meet religious leaders and solve all issues pertaining to Ullal Dargah amicably.

“Appointing an administrator by the government is not a solution to the issues related to Ullal Dargah at this moment. Bringing administrator should be the last step and we need to work out other amicable solutions before that decision,” he said.

He also made it clear that it was not a clash between SKSSF and SSF and called the two Kerala based groups as two eyes of the regional Muslim community. “The differences between those two groups are not responsible for this problem,” he said.

He said that all efforts should be made to solve issues by taking all sections of the community into confidence. “We are working out a strategy and I am hopeful that we will succeed in solving issues related the Dargah administration," Mr Khader said.

Trust ALLAH and follow Prophet Muhammad... if we look back to the time of Prophet Muhammad pbuh ... there was no such thing as accepting Barakah from the GRAVE...
What prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us was \ in the early stages of ISLAM prophet did not allow to visit Graves... But in the end times of his life , when the Sahabas understood the knowledge & the POWER OF ALLAH and his attributes... He allowed to visit Graves to remember our death and Pray for the dead (Not ask from the dead)

Those who depend on ALLAH are successful... When you do that ..YOU will experience the help of ALLAH in all the matters of your LIFE.
Its a greatest blessings one can have in this life...
When you experience that even a normal MUSLIM like me Never need anybody to get BARAKAH. ALLAH Guides those who really TRUST him.
ALLAH is enough for those who rely on HIM alone. It doesnt mean that we dont love the Auliya of ALLAH... its the misconception most Dargah visitors fallen to the WASWASA....
May ALLAH keep our faith in him to deal with the matters of our LIFE even if it is small one. ( ALLAH is MOST FORGIVING and MOST MERCIFUL)"

It is not clash between SSF and SKSSF BUT it is clash between SSF against rest.
Easiest solution for current situation is calling all 49 member together and electing a president who has majority. Khader and his govt should tender its support to newly elected president with majority

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.

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
