Prakash Kunder's body reaches Karnataka two months after murder in Sharjah
Digital Desk | Udupi (Karnataka), Sep 25 (IANS) The body of Alvin Prakash Kunder, a native of Kundapur in Karnataka's Udupi district who was allegedly brutally murdered in Sharjah in July, arrived in Karnataka on Friday, nearly two months after his death. His body, which was allegedly dismembered into nine pieces and dumped in the boot of a car, was brought to his native place amid the grief of his family members. Kunder, who had reportedly been living in the UAE for several years and worked at Sharjah Airport for around 14 years, was allegedly murdered in late July. His body was recovered on August 12 from the boot of his Toyota car, which had been abandoned in an isolated area near Al Nahda Commercial Area, according to details cited by his family. His identity was subsequently confirmed through DNA matching. The forensic and post-mortem findings reportedly revealed the brutal manner in which the body had been dismembered. According to the forensic report, the body had been cut into nine parts after death. The head, neck, torso, arms and legs had been separated, with the bones reportedly cut using a saw and the soft tissues severed around the joints. The body parts were allegedly packed into two bags and placed in the car's boot. One green bag reportedly contained the torso, while a blue bag contained the head and parts of the arms and legs. The head was wrapped in a black plastic bag, while other body parts were packed in transparent plastic. The post-mortem examination reportedly found two penetrating injuries on the left side of the chest, between the seventh and eighth ribs. The injuries had entered the chest cavity, where bleeding was detected. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, making examination of the internal organs difficult. A blood sample reportedly showed an alcohol level of 25.77 mg/dl. Kunder's family became concerned after he stopped responding to calls around July 20. According to his brother Anil Prashanth Kunder, the family received a text message from his phone saying that he was fine, despite the absence of his usual voice messages. Initial information that Kunder had returned to India was later questioned after passport records reportedly indicated that he remained in the UAE. His family subsequently approached the authorities and sought assistance in tracing him. His wife Tina, who was reportedly working as a schoolteacher in the UAE, and their Class 10 son have remained untraceable since the incident. The family has expressed suspicion over their disappearance and urged authorities to establish their whereabouts and determine whether they had any role in the murder. However, no official confirmation has been reported establishing their involvement. CCTV footage reportedly available with Sharjah Police is said to show a woman and two men carrying two bags believed to contain the body. The family has urged the authorities to identify and arrest those responsible for the murder. Former minister and BJP MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary, visited the bereaved family today, paid final respects to the dead body and offered his condolences. The family had earlier approached the Udupi Superintendent of Police's office seeking the early repatriation of Kunder's body and assistance in tracing his wife and son. Poojary reportedly contacted the Indian diplomatic authorities in Sharjah and said he was also in touch with the Union External Affairs Ministry regarding the case. He assured the family that efforts would be made to trace Tina and her son and assist in bringing the investigation to a conclusion. The family is now seeking an early investigation into the circumstances surrounding Kunder's death and the disappearance of his wife and son. Sharjah authorities are continuing to investigate the murder, while the motive and identities of all those involved have not yet been officially established. The alleged role of a Pakistani national is also suspected in the case.

Ktaka Dy CM urges council to take objective stand on Kasturirangan report
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 21 (IANS) Deputy Chief Minister and Revenue Minister G. Parameshwara on Monday urged the Karnataka Legislative Council to take an objective stand on the Kasturirangan report after discussing its advantages and disadvantages, stressing the need to protect both the environment and the livelihoods of people living in the Western Ghats. Participating in the discussion, Parameshwara said Karnataka had repeatedly rejected the report, but the Centre kept issuing draft notifications. We have to protect the environment while also protecting the interests of people living in the Western Ghats and future generations. The survival of mountain ranges such as the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, Aravallis, Vindhyas and the Himalayas is linked to our own survival. At the same time, we must protect the lives and livelihoods of people who have been living there for generations, he said. He recalled that the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel headed by Madhav Gadgil was constituted by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests in 2010 under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. The panel submitted its report on August 30, 2011, identifying 1,29,037 sq km of the Western Ghats and classifying the area into three ecological sensitivity zones. Following opposition from state governments, local people and elected representatives, the Centre constituted an 11-member High Level Working Group headed by K. Kasturirangan in August 2012 to review the Gadgil committee report. The group submitted its report on April 15, 2013, recommending around 59,940 sq km across six states as Ecologically Sensitive Areas. In Karnataka, the Kasturirangan report identified 20,668 sq km as an Ecologically Sensitive Area covering 1,576 villages across 10 districts and 33 taluks, including Belagavi, Uttara Kannada, Shivamogga, Udupi, Chikkamagaluru, Dakshina Kannada, Hassan, Kodagu, Mysuru and Chamarajanagar. Parameshwara said the recommendations included a ban on new mining, quarrying and sand mining activities, while existing mining leases were to be phased out within five years. Restrictions were also proposed on new thermal power projects and expansion of certain red industries. The report also proposed restrictions on new large construction projects, townships and area development projects, while permitting new hydropower projects subject to conditions, including a minimum distance of three kilometres between projects. He said Karnataka had been opposing the report since 2014 because of concerns over its impact on the lives and development of people in the Western Ghats. A Cabinet sub-committee was constituted in 2014 and visited Western Ghats districts during January and February 2015. It held public meetings, collected peoples views, and submitted a report, which the state government accepted and communicated to the Centre. Parameshwara said the state had subsequently written to the Centre on several occasions opposing the Kasturirangan recommendations and successive draft notifications. He noted that the Centre constituted another committee headed by Sanjay Kumar on April 18, 2022. The committee visited Karnataka in May that year and was informed of the states objections. It is carrying out satellite-based surveys as well as physical verification of residential areas, plantations and agricultural land located amid forests. According to Parameshwara, the Kasturirangan report had identified 20,668 sq km in Karnataka. After correcting technical errors, the area would come down to 19,252.16 sq km. Of this, 16,114.08 sq km is already covered under national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, reserve forests and other protected categories, leaving 3,108.08 sq km for further consideration. He said village-wise verification and survey-number-wise mapping should be undertaken to establish the actual ground situation and submit the findings to the Centre. We have to protect the Western Ghats as well as the lives of the people who have lived there for thousands of years. If the environment is protected, the lives of the people living there can also be protected, Parameshwara said, urging the Council to discuss the issue and offer suggestions to help the government take further decisions.
After Tulu language recognition, SDPI seeks official language status for Urdu in Karnataka
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 21 (IANS) Following the recent decision to recognise Tulu as an additional official language in Mangaluru and Udupi districts, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has demanded that the state government grant official language status to Urdu across Karnataka. In an open letter to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, SDPI Karnataka State president Abdul Majeed on Monday said recognising languages, cultures and linguistic identities was essential to strengthening Karnatakas pluralistic and democratic traditions. The Karnataka Cabinet recently approved the use of Tulu as an additional official language for administrative purposes in Karnataka and Udupi. Majeed said Urdu had a long-standing presence in Karnataka and had contributed significantly to the states linguistic and cultural diversity. He pointed to its literary tradition, newspapers and publications, educational institutions and cultural and historical legacy. Citing 2011 Census data, Majeed said Urdu was among the major mother tongues recorded in Karnataka. He also referred to 2024-25 school education data, according to which there were 3,934 government Urdu-medium schools and 302 aided Urdu-medium schools in the state. He said the decline in student enrolment in Urdu-medium schools required immediate attention and urged the government to strengthen such institutions by providing adequate infrastructure, educational facilities and other necessary amenities. Karnataka is a multilingual state and respecting the rights of one language should not become a reason to deny the rights of another, the SDPI said, according to its representation. Majeed said Kannada was the principal language of Karnataka and deserved its rightful place, but recognition of other languages spoken by substantial sections of the population would not diminish the status of Kannada. He argued that if Tulu, which has deep cultural and historical roots in coastal Karnataka, could receive additional official language recognition, the same principle should be extended to Urdu, which has a significant number of speakers and an established educational and literary presence in the state. The SDPI cited Article 345 of the Constitution, which empowers a state legislature to adopt, through law, one or more languages in use in the state for all or any official purposes. Majeed also cited Telangana as an example of multilingual governance, where Urdu has been recognised as a second official language. He said Karnataka could develop an administrative framework suited to its linguistic diversity. The SDPI also urged the government to protect the educational rights of linguistic minorities and ensure that Urdu-medium schools receive adequate teachers, infrastructure and other facilities. The party said its demand for Urdu recognition was not against the development or recognition of Tulu, but was aimed at ensuring equal consideration for the linguistic and educational rights of Urdu-speaking people in Karnataka.

Kasturirangan report: Karnataka govt to decide on physical survey after discussion with officials
Digital Desk | Udupi (Karnataka), Sep 18 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday assured residents of the Malnad and coastal regions that the state government would discuss with officials and take a decision on conducting a physical survey of areas covered under the Kasturirangan report. Shivakumar made the assurance while interacting with local residents at Hebri in Udupi district on the merits and demerits of the Kasturirangan report. Local organisations and elected representatives had urged the state government to conduct a physical survey and consider the Kerala model while deciding on the implementation of the report. You have explained the Kasturirangan report and the ecologically sensitive areas and brought the problems you are facing to my attention. We have to send our decision to the Centre by September 27. We have come here so that your opinion becomes our opinion. You have suggested the Kerala model and recommended an expert committee. We have accepted your suggestions and will discuss these issues in the Karnataka Assembly, Shivakumar said. He added that the state government had convened a three-day special session to discuss issues concerning farmers, drought and the Kasturirangan report. The report would be discussed on the first day of the Assembly session, he said. I will also visit Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru and listen to the sentiments of the people there, he added. On the Forest Rights Act, Shivakumar said there was a provision prescribing different time limits, including 25 years for some and 75 years for others. The state government would consider taking a decision to prescribe a uniform 25-year limit and send it to the Centre, he added. He said that he had instructed Forest Department officials not to cause difficulties to people residing in forest areas. We will not do politics based on emotions. We are concerned about your lives, Shivakumar added. He said that important decisions had been taken regarding fisheries and that representatives from the region had sought a zonal management plan and a taluk hospital in Hebri. The state government would discuss these demands with officials and take decisions in the coming days, he added. I do not want to make announcements before you and then forget about them. I will do whatever service I can with the opportunity I have received. I will come to Udupi in the coming days and discuss the issues with elected representatives, he said. Shivakumar added that the people of Tulu Nadu region were an asset to the country and assured them that the state government would continue to seek their suggestions. He said a special Cabinet meeting had been held in Mangaluru after discussions with legislators and representatives of all parties from the region. Of the 60 decisions taken at the meeting, 40 were related to the coastal districts, he added. He also referred to the Cabinet decision to recognise Tulu as the second additional administrative language in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. He said the state government had given priority to tourism in the coastal and Malnad regions and approved several development measures to attract investment and prevent migration. Representatives of various organisations and elected representatives urged the state government to constitute an expert committee and conduct a physical survey before taking further decisions on the Kasturirangan report. They said the report covers around 13,000 square km in Kerala and around 20,000 square km in Karnataka. According to them, Kerala conducted a physical survey through a high-level officials' committee, separating inhabited areas from forest areas and reducing the area covered by the report to around 9,000 square km. They claimed that a similar exercise in Karnataka could potentially exclude around 5,000 square km from the report's coverage. The representatives said the Kasturirangan committee had relied on satellite and GPS-based surveys and had not conducted a physical survey. They also raised concerns over the inclusion of areas with more than 100 residents and regions with less than 20 per cent protected forest cover. They said the report had created apprehension among residents that they could eventually be displaced and urged the state government to create awareness about its actual provisions. The representatives urged the state government to conduct a physical survey and place its findings before the Centre, the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal to resolve the concerns. It can be noted that the Kasturirangan Committee was set up by the Union government in 2012 under the chairmanship of K. Kasturirangan to examine the recommendations of the Gadgil Committee on protecting the Western Ghats. The committee recommended identifying parts of the Western Ghats as Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESA). It proposed restrictions on certain activities such as mining, quarrying, large construction projects and some industrial activities in ESA areas. The recommendations cover parts of six states: Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat. In Karnataka, the recommendations have faced opposition from residents, farmers and local organisations, who have raised concerns about restrictions on agriculture, development and property rights

Karnataka cabinet gives Tulu official language status
Digital Desk | Mangaluru, Sep 18 (IANS) The Karnataka government on Friday announced Tulu as the states second additional administrative language alongside Kannada, began the process of renaming Dakshina Kannada district as Mangaluru district, and approved development projects worth Rs 32,611 crore for the coastal region. The Cabinet took these decisions at a special historic meeting held in Mangaluru. Addressing the media with Cabinet colleagues, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said the Cabinet had unanimously decided to recognise Tulu as an additional administrative language in Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru) and Udupi districts. He noted that the decision followed a long-standing demand from Tulu-speaking people, organisations, and public representatives for official recognition of the language. Tulu is spoken prominently in the coastal districts. We will not discuss why the previous government did not take this decision. We will not do politics based on emotions, Shivakumar said, adding that the government was committed to strengthening peoples social and economic power rather than indulging in emotional politics. He explained that society cannot be built on emotions alone, and the government would focus on empowering people socially and economically. He also said that, if necessary, the Cabinet would consider the economic and legal framework and hold meetings in the coming days to address issues requiring attention. This is Team Karnataka. The Cabinet is with you, Shivakumar said, announcing that Tulu would be declared the states second additional administrative language, limited to Udupi and Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru) districts. The Chief Minister recalled that former minister Ramanath Rai first raised the demand to declare Tulu as the second additional language. He said MLA Ashok Kumar Rai and several other elected representatives had jointly exerted pressure for the demand. Shivakumar congratulated everyone who worked to get Tulu recognised. Explaining the sentiments of the people in the region, Shivakumar said that the first question Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai raised in the Assembly after becoming an MLA was related to the Tulu language. I was surprised. His first sentiment was for the language. Today, he has secured approval for a Rs 500-crore medical college, but that is a different matter, he added. The Cabinet also decided to initiate the process of changing the name of Dakshina Kannada district to Mangaluru district. Shivakumar said the government would issue a draft notification and invite public opinion and objections for one month before taking a final decision. People recognise Mangaluru at the international level. People have expressed their wish in this regard. We have to follow the prescribed procedure and take the opinion of the people, he said. On coastal development, Shivakumar said the Cabinet approved projects worth Rs 32,611 crore, including Rs 16,000 crore for rural development projects. The Cabinet also approved the development of 12 islands in Mangaluru, Udupi, and Karwar districts to transform the coastal region into a global tourism hub. He said the government was seeking to utilise the regions coastline, cultural heritage, and natural resources to promote tourism and generate employment. A new Coastal and Malnad Karnataka Tourism Policy was also approved, which will treat tourism projects as infrastructure projects and provide greater support to investors, including extended loan repayment periods. The region will establish a Fisheries and Blue Economy University, and the existing fisheries college intake will increase from 60 to 200 seats. The Cabinet has also approved establishing a medical college in Puttur for Rs 549 crore. The Chief Minister said it was welcome that the Cabinet meeting was held in Mangaluru for the first time outside Bengaluru. Responding to a journalists question on whether Cabinet meetings would also be held in other districts, he said the government intends to hold meetings at 10 to 12 locations over the next 15 months. Cabinet meetings will be held wherever there is the capacity and a need, he said, adding that the governments goal is to build an integrated and prosperous Karnataka.

Heavy rain lashes Bengaluru; IMD forecasts more showers across K'taka
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 16 (IANS) Heavy rains lashed Bengaluru, inundating several residential areas and causing damage in parts of the city, even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast widespread rainfall, including heavy showers, across several districts of Karnataka over the next 24 to 48 hours. The heavy downpour in Bengaluru on Tuesday night resulted in the collapse of a military compound wall in the Domlur area, leaving three cows dead and Muniraju, the owner, seriously injured. Muniraju suffered fractures in both legs and is undergoing treatment in the ICU. Residents said they had repeatedly urged authorities to repair the compound wall, which they claimed had remained in a vulnerable condition for several years. They also alleged that the wall had been constructed without an adequate foundation and that there was no proper arrangement for the drainage of rainwater. Residents said water rushes into nearby residential areas whenever there is heavy rainfall. Following the incident, several residents have reportedly moved out of their homes temporarily, fearing that the remaining portion of the compound wall could collapse. Personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Fire and Emergency Services have taken up rescue and relief operations at the spot. Local MLA N.A. Haris visited the affected area and took stock of the situation. Meanwhile, the IMD has forecast widespread rainfall across coastal, Malnad and interior districts of Karnataka under the influence of the southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area. Heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds is likely in Udupi, Mangaluru and Karwar districts. The IMD has also warned of rough sea conditions and advised fishermen not to venture into the sea. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in the hilly and mountainous areas of Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Madikeri and Hassan districts, where a yellow alert has been issued. Several districts in southern and central Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagara, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Mysuru, Mandya, Tumakuru and Chamarajanagar, are likely to receive moderate rainfall. In north Karnataka, Belagavi, Dharwad, Haveri, Gadag, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Ballari districts are likely to receive moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning. Strong winds with 30-40 kmph speed are also possible in some areas. Weather experts said rainfall activity is expected to increase across various parts of the state from Wednesday due to a cyclonic circulation at sea level and increased wind speeds. In Bengaluru, partly cloudy weather is expected during the day, with moderate to heavy rainfall likely during the evening or night.
