It was held under the aegis of the Anjuman-e-Islam. The participants urged the Union government not to meddle with the Muslim personal law.

The march began from Nehru College Grounds at Ghantikeri and passed through the thoroughfares of the city including Lamington Road and Kittur Chennamma Circle before culminating at the mini-Vidhana Soudha.

The protesters held the tricolour and placards with slogans such asJai Hind,'Hindustan Zindabad',We are proud to be Indians', along with placards condemning the efforts to interfere in the Muslim personal law, saying that they were happy with the Islamic Shariat.

The women said that they were against any effort to bring in a Uniform Civil Code.

Anjuman-e-Islam president Jabbarkhan Honnalli and office-bearers of the women's wing of the organisation led the protest march. They office-bearers submitted a memorandum to the Hubballi tahsildar.

In the wake of the protest, the vehicular movement in the central business district and around Kittur Chennamma Circle was thrown out of gear for over an hour. The traffic police personnel had a difficult time streamlining the traffic as vehicles were diverted through alternative routes.

I could not understand why Modi Govt is planning to abolish Muslim Personal Law which is not acceptable to name sake muslims who count less than 0.01 percent of muslim population in India. These are traitors of Islam and they are free to leave the religion if they do not agree with it. No one is forcing them to practice the religion and abide by its laws. I think they are acting as agents of enemies of Islam and being bribed by the enemieis. I appreciate the women of Hubballi for taking our processing condemning Govt proposal to abolich Muslim Personal Law and wish same marches in every city, town and village all over india. Govt should know that we Muslims are fully happy with Muslim Shariat and cannot accept any change or abolishing it. Govt should not interfere in it. In any name sake muslim is not willing to follow the Shariat none is going to force him or her and let them go to hell. None will care them. They are a wastage to our society. If Govt wishes these wastes to hug, let it do it.

In the main stream media they portray the bad effect of instant Triple Talaq (ITT) whereas the Govt. actually wants to end the whole Talaq system and get the Muslims on to their judiciary system which we are all fed up to deal with. According to me if we have done the Nikah using Muslim Personal Law then the Talaq has to be done by same Muslim Personal law.

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
