Eid Milad: Holiday for schools, colleges advanced to Dec 12 in DK

December 10, 2016

Mangaluru, Dec 10: It will be an extended weekend for the students of schools and college in Dakshina Kannada as the district administration has decided to advance the holiday for 'Eid Milad-un-Nabi' to Monday, December 12.

The Karnataka government has already declared a public holiday on next Tuesday, December 13, on account of Eid Milad. However, Muslims in the coastal belt of Karnataka will celebrate the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) a day earlier, i.e. on Monday.

Hence, Y Abdullah Kunhi, the chairman of Zeenath Baksh and Eidgah Juma Masjid, Managluru, had urged the district administration on behalf of the Muslim community to advance the holiday for educational intuitions to facilitate the Muslims students to take part in the Eid Milad celebrations.

Positively responding to the request, Dr K J Jagadisha, the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Dakshina Kannada, on Saturday issued a communiqué and formally announced the advancement holiday for schools and colleges.

He said that on December 13 all the educational institutions in the district will function as usually. The communiqué, however, did not mention about the advancement of holiday for other government establishments.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
