Mangaluru, Sep 2: The Muslims in Kerala and coastal Karnataka will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, on September 12. Saturday (September 3) marks the first day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, and Eid always falls on the 10th day of this month.

Muslim religious heads and Khazis across Kerala and coastal Karnataka unanimously announced the date of Eid as the crescent moon was sighted in several parts of Kerala on Friday night.

The religious heads who confirmed the Eid date include Kerala Jemiyyathul Ulama President Abdul Hameed Madani, Mangaluru Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal.

Interestingly, most of the Muslim majority Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia will also observe the Eid on the same day.

Eid follows the descent of the Hajj pilgrims from Mount Arafat, a hill in Makkah where Prophet Mohammed gave his final sermon.

Also during Eid-ul-Adha, Muslims traditionally slaughter an animal – usually a sheep, goat, cow or camel – to commemorate a similar offering to God made by the Prophet Abraham.

Dear SK

Dont be defensive... What CD mentioned is true and ALLAH made halal to sacrifice Camel, Cow , Goat or sheep which is also a Creation of ALLAH.... Cow is an option which is helpful to the POOR to sacrifice for the sake of ALLAH.
Dont think cheddis love Cow. Thats a fake love which they want to divert from the hindu masses to see them as bhakt.. Dont U see Cows are dying in the Gowshala? & smell are coming out in all places even in rajastan.
Its cheddi ideology to fool people ... Even in VEDAS we see many kings and hindu priests eating Cows...
So dont be defensive... Cow is HALAL . ALLAH, the creator of U, ME and all that exists has made it Halal...

In ISLAM, when U sacrifice, U will share the meat with U, Ur family and the Poor of your area... when we see in other culture, they sacrifice and bury the cows and buffaloes in the earth.. No benefit only loss of cows live...

I kindly request the Media to check before reporting.... For Qurbani, cows are seldom used, only buffaloes , bulls, goats, sheeps are used...

Such misreporting will encourage the sanghis like Naren to attack Islam

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA), Karnataka’s second busiest airport, has seen 148.5kg of gold smuggled between 2019 and December 2024, with 90% arriving from the UAE. Customs officials recorded 346 cases, averaging 30kg of gold seized per year (2.5kg per month). Most smugglers are from Kerala and Bhatkal.

A senior customs officer revealed that MIA sees at least five gold smuggling cases per month. Numbers dropped during the pandemic but surged after flights resumed. Many offenders are first-time carriers, while some are habitual smugglers. With fewer flights, customs thoroughly checks passengers, making smuggling harder.

Smugglers constantly innovate concealment methods. Hiding gold in the rectum remains common, but gold is also found in trolley bags, mobile covers, chocolate boxes, milk powder, biscuit packets, and clothing layers. Electronic devices like car speaker magnets, LED bulbs, AirPods, wristwatches, and ballpoint pens have been used.

Unusual tactics include hiding gold in a woman’s hairband, a baby’s diaper, and even a kheer mix packet (347g). In one case, a passenger attempted to smuggle 100g in his mouth under a mask but was caught.

Officials note that while the UAE remains a key source, smugglers now bring gold from other Gulf countries, continuously adapting to evade detection.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.

Udupi: Deputy Commissioner K. Vidya Kumari has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for designated industrial zones in the district to facilitate new industries. She issued these instructions during a meeting at Rajatadri on Wednesday.

Lands have been identified across various taluks for industrial development. The DC emphasized that KIADB must acquire these lands and ensure essential infrastructure—electricity, roads, and drainage—to attract industries and generate employment.

A total of 77 acres of private land has been acquired and compensated, including 31.2 acres in Kerebettu village, Hebri taluk, and 45.7 acres in Shivapura village. However, approval for 36.5 acres of government land is still pending. She instructed the forest department to assess whether this land falls under an eco-sensitive zone.

For the Belapu Industrial Area, the DC urged officials to accelerate minor land acquisitions for road expansion and commence construction at the earliest. She also mandated rainwater harvesting systems for all units in the Miyaru Industrial Area to tackle water scarcity.

Currently, 22 export-based units operate in the district. The DC encouraged further promotion of exports and an increase in their number.

The meeting was attended by Joint Director of Industries Nagraj V. Naik, KIADB Development Officer Srinivasa Murthy, Small-Scale Industries Association District President Harish Kunder, Deputy Director of the District Industrial Center Seetharam Shetty, District Skill Development Officer Arun B., and others.
