Bengaluru, Oct 4: The Karnataka High Court on Monday ordered notices to Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader and the state government on a petition against the new system of food grain distribution.

Akkayamma and other residents of Someshwara Colony had filed a petition questioning the computerised coupon system introduced by the Food and Civil Supplies Department.

They said they were facing hardship in collecting their share of food grain under the coupon system. Since most of the beneficiaries are daily wage workers holding BPL ration cards, they cannot queue up to collect their food grain and leave their jobs.

The government counsel, however, argued before the court that the new system was introduced to weed out bogus cards and to bring transparency in the public distribution of food grain. Justice A S Bopanna ordered the notices and adjourned the hearing until October 24.

MR UTK, what u know being a good politician u have to understand the situation of bpl card holder, bpl card is given to below poverty line people, so they have to work daily to feed their family in between if they lose two days work for the coupon purpose this will be a terrible experiment.

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.
