August 8, 2011

Mangalore, August 8: At least 15 pawans of gold jewelleries were robbed from a house in broad daylight at Pajiru Perna under Konaje Police Station limits on Sunday.

The house belongs to one Dennis Alphonse, who works in a gulf country. His wife Doti, son Denwar, brother Everest and mother Rosalyn D'Souza stay in the house. The incident occurred at 7:30 am when the family members had been to attend a mass at Pajeer Church leaving behind 11 year old Denwar and sick Rosalyn.

When Denwar was busy in watching TV, three strangers visited the house and asked for Dennis. Denver informed them that he was away and went back to watch TV.

One among the three miscreants caught Denver unaware, entered the house slowly, broke the cupboard and looted the jewelleries.

Denver was alarmed by the noise but was stopped and threatened by another thief waiting outside the house.

By the time Rosalyn, who was unwell came out from her room, thieves had made away with 25 pawans of gold jwellaries.

Sub-Inspector Shivapraksh and staff of Konaje Police Station investigated the scene, while finger print experts were called in.

A case has been lodged at the Konaje Police Station.

Sharjah, UAE: Ayisha Basheer Esra, a talented young writer hailing from Aramboor in Dakshina Kannada’s Sullia taluk, marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning literary career with the launch of her debut novel, The Betrayal of the Kingdom, at the Sharjah International Book Fair. The prestigious event, recognized as the world’s largest book fair, provided a fitting stage for the unveiling of Esra’s work.

The official release ceremony was conducted by Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director of the Religious Affairs Office of the Sharjah Government and a distinguished member of the royal family, underscoring the significance of Esra’s achievement. Mrs. Lini Shivaprasad, Principal of GEMS Millennium School, Sharjah, had the honor of receiving the first copy of the novel.

The event was graced by the presence of numerous distinguished guests, reflecting the widespread recognition of Esra’s literary talent and the anticipation surrounding her debut novel. Among the notable attendees were Syed Panakkad Munawwarali Shihab Tangal, Dr. Mariam Al Shenasi, the UAE’s renowned writer and Head of Dar Al Yasmin Publications, Dr. K. K. N.

At the remarkably young age of eight, Esra has already established herself as a prolific writer, authoring and publishing collections of short stories in addition to her newly released full-length novel.
