Muslim youth stabbed to death near Dargah amidst Tabligh-Barelvi clash

February 11, 2017

Mandya, Feb 11: A 19-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by four of his friends near a Dargah at Pandavapura in Mandya district yesterday following a clash between them over religious differences.

According to sources, the differences between two Muslim groups – Tablighi Jamaat and Barelvi – led to the murder of Luqman, son of Munavar Pasha, a local resident.

It is learnt that he was stabbed by Suhel (23), Wasim, Konda Pasha and Khaleel. Police arrested Suhel but others are at large.

According to the complaint lodged by the victim’s father, the suspects were pestering Luqman, who followed the Barelvi school of thought, to join Tablighi Jamaat. They decided to kill him when he didn’t accede. They stabbed him near a dargah in front of the KSRTC?bus depot around 10.30 am on Friday. He was taken to a hospital in Mysuru where he died from excessive bleeding.

The murder sparked tension in the town and police were deployed in Muslim neighbourhoods.

As the news began to spread, a few Muslim youths assaulted Asif, the head of Mahmoodiya Mosque, for allegedly instigating the suspects to induct Luqman into Tablighi Jamaat.

Luqman’s father said that a clash broke out between Suhel and Luqman on Thursday night and that he had approached the police to take action against Suhel but the police neglected the incident and did not register a case.

MLA?K?S?Puttanaiah and Superintendent of Police C H Sudheer Kumar Reddy visited the spot.

Istead of this kind of fights muslims should get together and fight against social evils like RSS and so on. Muslims can't be defeated in all over the world because we like death as much as kaafirs like life.

You are really Shame not only to Hindu Community but also for entire Mankind. We really not aware of what type of death you face. Just pray to Allah to give pleasant death to you.

In other end we beg Allah the almighty to give early death to those who Discriminates the Harmonies of the society

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

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.
