#RapeForBeef has begun trending on Twitter in India on Sunday a day after two victims of Mewat gang-rape revealed that their attackers were cow vigilantes.

A couple was murdered and two girls from the family were gang-raped after the accused had barged into their house recently in a village in Mewat district of Haryana.

"They asked us whether we eat beef. We said, 'No'. They then said 'you eat beef'. They said 'we are killing you because you eat cow'. We told this to the police but they are not doing anything," one of the two rape-victims said.

Users took to Twitter to express their shock and frustration over the situation in BJP ruled Haryana where cow vigilantes continued to unleash violence against civilians even after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the state government to take stringent action against so called gau rakshaks.

After 2 p.m. the hashtag #RapeForBeef began to trend. Here are some of the tweets:

If this is the case, then Hindu people should attack on American or European tourist as well, Because they eat more beef than Indian muslim/christians.

It shows that hindu people are nautanki/coward and have no guts to raise fingers on them. Modi uses foreign trips to hide in foreign country.

In ashram when priest wont get men to satisfy his needs, they uses cow to fulfill their needs. Cows are dying in ashram has become common.

India is moving towards the stone age. People selected Jumla man as Prime Minister, and He is suitable for Reliance company's sales man job but not for prime minister post.

In one end modi supports hindu people to export their mothers meat and other end supports his jokers to attack on innocent people over his mother's meat.

His supporters are like monkey, they follows his step blindly.

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.

SHRIMP.jpg

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.
