Mangalore, Jun 10: Karnataka Komu Sauhardha Vedike (KKSV), which has time and again raised its voice against the high-handedness of the communal BJP in the state in general and in the undivided DK district in specific, has now demand the state government to put an end to the moral policing in the region and provide a conducive atmosphere for the religious minorities to live.

Moral policing has been going on unabated in the region by a section of people citing cattle trade, Love Jihad, conversion etc as a reason. However, at the end of the day it is the innocent muslim youth, the pastors and the followers of the two religion who are falsely implicated.

“Withdraw cases filled against innocent youth from minority communities and also on activists fighting against communal forces,” the demand read.

Along with the demand for re-inquiry into Adi Udupi stripping incident and the Kambalapalli carnage, re-opening of various cases filed against Sangha Parivar head-honcho Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for making hate speeches time and again, KKSV kept forth 22 demands pressing for formation of 'harmonious society, during an interaction programme with the newly elected ministers and MLAs of undivided DK district.

The programme held at St Aloysius Hall on Sunday had Ministers Ramanath Rai, Vinay Kumar Sorake, U T Khader, MLAs J R Lobo, Shakunthala Shetty and Congress leader Oscar Fernandes taking part and expressing their opinion on communal power in the state and the steps that the newly elected government would take to root it out.

The organization has demanded formation of a Fast Track Court to investigate the cases of large number of Mulsim youth who have been put behind bars as suspected terrorists.

Along with changing the saffronised text books from class V to IX in the state, Vedike has said that government must issue a circular stating that RSS is a political organization and not a cultural organization and hence providing government aided and unaided school premises for their programmes must be stopped.

It has asked the government to withdraw the funds donated by the BJP government to organizations like the Rashtrothana Parishat and the likes. “Further an inquiry must be held to ascertain the way the funds allocated by the BJP government to various Mutts have been utilized,” the memorandum said.

Security for women and transfer of communal and inefficient policemen from Coastal and Malnad regions, action against Sangha Parivar loyals working in the police department were some of the important demands.

The organization has said that the government has to withdraw the Cow Slaughter bill, which is against the interest of the Dalits, farmers and minorities.

With regard to the Bababudangiri dispute, the organization has opined that the Congress government must implement the directives of the Supreme Court and reports of Religious Endowment Director strictly. The Vedike has demanded implementation of Justice Sachar and Justice Jagannath Mishra reports.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
