Beary Parishath urges DC to include Muslims, Christians working abroad in census

February 26, 2011

Mangalore, February 26: Akhila Bharatha Beary Parishath has submitted a memorandum to the Chief Census Officers of New Delhi and Bangalore through the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner who is also Chief District Census Officer requesting to include the names and details of Indian citizens who are working in foreign countries, in the census of 2011.

The Parishat also demanded to make provision for providing details of census of each person and also to allow filing of objections with regard to the inaccurate data accumulation.

The delegation led by President of Parishat Abdul Majeed Suralpady, BA Muhammad Haneef, Working President, Muhammad Kunjathbail, General Secretary submitted the memo to Additional Deputy Commissioner S Prabhakar Sharma.

In the memorandum, the Parishath informed that the persons involved in census work are not taking any details of Indian citizens who work abroad or if they have gone for short period for any reason.

Though the Muslims and Christians are Indian citizens and employed in foreign countries, census enumerators did not include their names and details. “This has caused injustice to the minority communities and it would affect the citizenship, identity matter, voting rights and other facilities,” the Parishat noted.

Muhammad Kunjathbail, General Secretary, CM Musthafa, Nazeer Bajal and FA Khader were present.

Karnataka: How to avail 50% discount on pending traffic e-challans

News Network

November 22,2025

The Karnataka government has announced a 50% rebate on pending traffic and transport fines. The discount is available from November 21 to December 12.

The rebate applies to all traffic e-challans and violation cases booked by the RTO between 1991–92 and 2019–20. Officials clarified that the offer is not applicable to pending tax dues and is restricted only to traffic-violation fines.

Across Karnataka, more than 4 lakh RTO cases remain pending, including those involving transport vehicles. While thousands of vehicle owners have already cleared their dues, the department expects to generate substantial revenue through this limited-period rebate.

How to Pay and Avail the Discount

There are three ways to check and pay your pending fines:

1. Through Mobile Apps
Available on both Play Store and App Store:
•   Karnataka State Police (KSP) app
•   KarnatakaOne app
•   ASTraM app

Steps:
•   Enter your vehicle number in any of the above apps
•   Verify the photo/details of your vehicle
•   Pay the fine with the 50% discount applied

2. Visit a Traffic Police Station

You can pay your pending fine at any nearby traffic police station.

3. Visit the Traffic Management Centre (TMC)

• Location: First Floor, Infantry Road, near Indian Express, Bengaluru

Transport Commissioner Yogeesh A M said, “We don't issue e-challans, so there's no online payment system.”

The department estimates ₹52 crore in pending RTO fines up to March 2020. “With the 50% rebate, we expect to collect around ₹25 crore if all dues are cleared,” he added.
