March 17, 2012

Bantwal, March 17: In a shocking incident, a 16-year-old boy was allegedly beaten up by his teacher with a cable wire in Ajjibettu Government High School.

Abdul Nasir, the 8^th standard student reportedly fell sick after being attacked by the Kannada teacher Achutha Bhat. The beating has left his hand and back swollen.

During his class on Thursday afternoon, the teacher had asked questions related to the lessons. Those who could not reply were hit with the cable wire. Although none of his calls mates were injured, Nasir suffered swellings on his hand and back and developed fever.

With the annual examination commencing on Monday, the parents of Nasir are worried about him getting back to health to write exams. Meanwhile, K.

Mangaluru Tees Off Big: Golf Excellence Academy to Open at Pilikula

February 1,2026

The coastal city of Mangaluru is gearing up for a major sporting milestone with the launch of a Golf Excellence Academy at the Pilikula Golf Club (PGC), scheduled to open on May 31. The initiative aims to position Mangaluru firmly on India’s national golfing map.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday during PGC’s first-ever floodlit Pro-Am tournament, club captain Manoj Kumar Shetty said the project is being funded by UAE-based philanthropist Michael D’Souza and is currently in the design phase. Experts from leading golf academies across the country are expected to visit Mangaluru to help shape the training programme and infrastructure.

The academy will train 20 young golfers at a time, with a long-term vision of producing national-level players from the region. Until now, PGC relied on an in-house coach, but the recent renovation of the course and the introduction of floodlights have opened new possibilities for expanding the sport.

Shetty said discussions are underway with two reputed coaching academies, whose heads are expected to visit PGC shortly. “A dormitory for trainers is already under construction. We are inviting academies to assess the facilities and suggest changes so we can build a truly world-class Golf Excellence Academy,” he said.

Professional golfer Aryan Roopa Anand noted that the floodlit course would be a game-changer for young players. “Students can now practise after school hours, even up to 8 or 9 pm, without compromising on academics,” he said.
