Udupi, Aug 23: Shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks against so called cow protectors, Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi's Udupi district unit has demanded a public apology from him.

Mr Modi had recently revealed that he knew the fact that some of the so called gau rakshaks were in fact anti-social elements and criminals. "I want to tell everybody to beware of these fake cow protectors. These handful of vigilantes have nothing to do with cow protection, but want to create tanaav' (tension) and takrav' (conflict) in our society," he had stated in a public meet.

Addressing a protest rally organised to condemn the PM's statement here, the Samithi's district president Vijay Kumar said that the cow protectors have been insulted by the PM. “Modi has called them anti-social elements. He has committed injustice by ordering action against cattle protectors who make up nearly 80% of the population in the country. The prime minister's opinion, which in turn, represents the government's view, is a major step towards luring the minorities,” he said.

He said the government's decision to take stringent action against cow vigilantes would end up in the increasing number of cases on cattle trafficking and slaughter. A majority of people are hurt by the decisions of the prime minister and the government in general, he said.

He said that cattle protectors put their lives in risk and involve in the task. Many times, the traffickers armed with deadly weapons and attack the people who stop them. Despite all odds, the people who believe in the religious sanctity of the cow, are carrying out a massive campaign, he claimed.

He demanded that the government, instead of reprimanding the protectors of the cattle, should take stringent action against the cattle traffickers and warn them.

Samithi leader Dinesh Nayak condemned prime minister for calling the caretakers of the cattle fake.'

He said Modi has a hidden agenda in the backdrop of the forthcoming polls in Uttar Pradesh. His statements insults the majority community in the country. There would be disastrous consequences as a result of prime minister remarks, he warned.

Deception - back fired.
BJP is the main source of supporting the cheddis.
Your plans are weakening YOU and those who play with the rules of God will face such humiliation through your own evil plans.
In few days their own hindu brothers will be attacked... dalits r already under attack... now rest of the hindus too will be attacked by the mindless cheddis?
Honest hindus should recognise this and voice out against the cheddis who is creating unrest in the society.

Dear Our Gau Rakshak Brothers

First of all prove true religiously and scientifically do you say slogans to protect cows and not other animals.
A true religion always goes with science, it does not clash with science. In vedas, you can see Hindu Rshis have eaten and sacrificed cows, cattle.

If you have evidence against your claim, bring to the public and you will have support of not only all Indians and also you will have worldwide support. What version of Hinduism are you following.

Cows in India are less than 10% of cows in the whole world.
If you are truthful with your claims, prove the whole world that your claim of go rakshan is correct.
If you can prove, you will have reward from the God and also appreciation by the whole world.

Imposing and Bringing blind faith on others is your atrocity to others. You are indirectly forcing others to follow your blind faith, which is bad.

Simply if you don't want to eat beef, it is upto you,
Others are eating their cow. Not your cow.
Don't force others to follow you and stop their food.

Our fair Hindu brothers and sisters should raise concerns and stop their illiterate so called flag carriers of Hindu religion.

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
