Chhatarpur (MP), Aug 24: A Hindu man and his family here have embraced Islam after allegedly facing social boycott for over 28 years since he married a Muslim woman.

Vinod Prakash Khare (51), a resident of Rajnagar town in the district in Bundelkhand region, said he had married a Muslim woman nearly 28 years back. Post the marriage, his wife was assigned a Hindu name.

However, their alliance was not accepted by the family, relatives and society at large and his family was ostracised, he alleged.

Khare, his wife, daughter and sons converted to Islam on August 21.

"The Hindu society has not been supportive of us. Nobody used to invite us to marriages," he said.

"I was not even allowed to lend a shoulder to my father's body during his funeral procession. In such times, the Muslim society helped us, so our family decided to accept Islam," said the man, who is now rechristened as Ghulam Mohammed.

Rajnagar's sub-divisional magistrate Ravindra Choukse said he was aware about the family's conversion.

"I have got information about the conversion of Khare and his family. In case of any dispute or controversy necessary steps would be taken," Choukse said.

A local leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad said they were trying to resolve the family's problems.

"I am in touch with the family. We are working to sort out their problems. They have assured to reconsider their decision," he said.

Be good to believers and non believers.

Only your good characters can attract others. Not your bad attitudes.

So, be good to all.

Our Hindu brothers, know about Islam and they like it. One day, they will come embrace Islam. Islam is natural way of living.

When the girl from Non-hindu family married a Hindu man, she was not accepted in Hindu Community.

They dont want someone to join Hindu religion and also they dont let someone join other religion.

what kind of mentality. Within Hindu community, they dont treat all Hindus equally, A lot of grades, upper, medium, lower, lowest..... 1000 grades.

Is it religion of God. This nothing but Moking the God.

So they have taken the right step, to join Islam which is the real religion, where every teaching goes with science. There is no superstition.

Equal treatment to all and no discrimination between anyone.

What is religion. Religion is set of commands to be successful come from the God, who is the wisest.

Remember a religion can not be a religion if it contradicts science.

The Islam religion is a full of guidance how to live in this world .

It is teaching how to be successful and after the death which is the permenent life for ever (after the death).

Alhamdulillah! Allahu akbar .. let allah give hidayath to all commented brothers and sisters

They just forced to do that. Media hiding the facts

When Modi rules, these things wont amuse people

Foolishness. They jumped from small pothole to deepest well of trap

Fake news.. propaganda

Tourism dept to enforce stringent pool and beach safety guidelines in coastal Karnataka

News Network

November 19,2024

In the wake of the tragic drowning of three students at a resort near Ullal on the outskirts of Mangaluru city, the tourism department in Dakshina Kannada is set to implement comprehensive safety guidelines for properties with swimming pools or beach access. This initiative aims to ensure guest safety and prevent similar incidents in the future.

New Safety Mandates for Resorts and Homestays

Rashmi S.R., deputy director (in-charge) of the tourism department, announced, “We will instruct all homestays and resorts to enforce precautionary measures, especially those with pools or direct beach access. Properties must ensure 24/7 supervision, particularly during guest hours. This tragedy highlights the importance of having trained personnel on-site.”

Key Safety Guidelines

The district, home to around 150 homestays and 130 resorts, will see the following measures enforced:

Clearly displaying pool depths.
Installing adequate safety equipment, such as life buoys.
Employing trained lifeguards at all times.
Establishing clear pool operating hours.
Reviewing and implementing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for pool and beach usage.

Booming Beach Tourism Calls for Vigilance

Manohar Shetty, president of the Association for Coastal Tourism (ACT), Udupi, highlighted the growing popularity of beachside resorts, particularly during peak seasons. Properties in Udupi, often fully booked with tourists from Bengaluru, Mysuru, Kodagu, and Shivamogga, face increasing pressure to maintain safety standards.

Udupi district boasts 22 beachside commercial properties catering to this rising demand.

Shetty emphasized, “Authorities must scrutinize safety measures and carefully evaluate guidelines before issuing new resort licenses. Panchayats should rely on the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act when handling such cases.”

Long-Term Solutions for Water Safety

Recognizing the need for a cultural shift in water safety, Shetty proposed integrating swimming lessons into school curricula. This move would not only equip students with essential skills but also encourage safe participation in water-based activities.

A Safer Tomorrow for Coastal Tourism

As the tourism sector thrives, Mangaluru’s proactive approach underscores its commitment to visitor safety. The tragic incident serves as a wake-up call, propelling the industry towards stricter regulations and better preparedness, ensuring that coastal vacations remain both enjoyable and safe.
