Shivamogga, Feb 7: The anti-hijab agitation launched a few days ago by the Sangh Parivar backed students at the Sahyadri Science College in Shivamogga has now spread to the other colleges of the city.

burqa

A group of students of a government first grade college at Bapuji Nagar in the city reportedly attacked a saffron shawl clad student after he allegedly insulted burqa clad Muslim girls.

It is learnt that Sharath, a first-year BBM student, entered college around 9 a.m. wearing saffron shawl in protest against burqa. It is alleged that he had insulted a girl wearing burqa two days ago.

A few Muslim students of second year BBM questioned him why did he insult the Muslim girl and also asked him to remove the saffron shawl.

This led to a clash between them and in the melee Sharath suffered minor injuries. Noticing this, a staffer informed police, who rushed to the college and brought the situation under control.

Six students - Syed Ahmed, Faizullah Baig, Irshad, Sharath, Satish and Vinay - have been arrested in connection with the incident.

On the other hand, a few Muslim girls of Sahyadri Science College have accused the ABVP activists of pulling their burqa and misbehaving with them. They alleged that no action has been taken against the ABVP activists for misbehaving with the burqa clad girls.

Meanwhile, Shivamogga police, on Sunday, registered suo motu cases against two youths for posting provocative messages and videos on WhatsApp pertaining to the controversy.

Mr Rikaz , Sarva shakthimaan modi does not have manthra danda to chance poverty overnight ... it is becoz muslims backed congress country is like this , they did all mess .. citizens responsibility is also there man , do you know how much percentage of muslim community pays tax ? why your communities represenation is less in army ? did anyone stop u . who is giving religion as excuse for population increase and demsnding more benefits ... teetege maklu huttisi govt benefit kodtha illa annodu bidi ... FYI ... as per major institutes poverty level is falling in india and purchasing power of Indian has gone up . there is a silent revolution happening ... padubidri ge bandaaga sigappa ... lecture kodthini ... sumne dont talk with fake facts ...
poverty also raises if u confine women at home ... In china and other countries woman work , why muslim countries fail on that front ? it is the same reason . chennagi odsi , amele beda kanammi population jaasthi maadana antha maneli confine maadidre apparanege desha uddaraga agalla ... nimma fear enu annodu gottu ... 50-60% of muslim gals who have studied well and working in top companies have non muslim spouse or bf . it is the fact u cannot deny it .it might not be in that nos in mangalore . but certainly in big cities .even here in singapore and malaysia .

Dear Naren our population is only 20% despite being the owner of Indian land for about 1000 years that proves we were most seculars, tolerant and peaceful. When you came out from your cave with chaddi to support BJP & Modi for killing thousands of innocent Muslims in Gujarat we understood your true color. You can not fool Muslims and Dalits anymore. Stop hiding behind secular cover. Sooner or later India will be united against RSS and their affiliated terrorists'?outfits and will be cornered and finally destroyed with help of Indian Army In sh Allah.

Government of Karnataka should disqualify RSS affiliated / trained Police officials once for all. All Government departments must implement desaffronization process to keep country clean and secular.

Narianna .... it is true that Democracy has given right of barking to dogs... That is why DOGS are barking from Singapore.

If the school management objects the dress of the students, it is understood... Why these road goons / dogs are questioning... It is not their fathers college ... It is better to debar all students who question the dress of other students..

Dear Papu,

Why groupism?

Why names like KFD or BD?

Why not universal brotherhood?

We all need to start making individual efforts to build right and truthful society for the future generation. Groupism will take us no where.

Our act should guide the next generation to righteous and truthful path.

JAI HIND.

So the BD & ABVP has now started assaulting Muslim girls?? If strong action is not taken now, they will be emboldened to do more. Why is the police not taking action against those who assaulted Muslim women? Looks like Karanataka Police is under the influence of Sangh Parivar as well. If the Police encourages such behaviour, they shouldn't be surprised if someone takes the law into their own hands

Prakash, Why do we need help of BD, or for Muslims KFD or any other moral policing group every time. Why cant we support the right and do the right things. Why blame the communities always. If we Practice right things in our life and support that what is right... then we will never want any support from anyone.

Be proud to be right and truthful and always support the right fact.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.

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.

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.
