PDF youth withdraw protest against MSEZ

June 13, 2011
Mangalore, June 13: The trained youth of Project Displaced Families on Monday withdrawn their agitation against Mangalore Special Economic Zone following a high level meeting held in the office of Deputy Commissioner here.

The meeting was attended by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, District in-charge minster Krishna J Palemar, MLA N Yogish Bhat MLAs N Yogesh Bhat Abhayachandra Jain, MLC Captain Ganesh Karnik Deputy Commissioner Chennappa Gowda, City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh Coastal Development Authority Chairman Nagaraj Shetty and others.

The representatives of the protesters confirmed that the youth have ended their 14 day blockade of the corridor road leading to Mangalore SEZ, just after the railway level crossing at Jokatte, following announcement of a new package in the meeting.


It was decided in the meeting to revise the government order issued earlier, which had laid several conditions and norms for recruiting the candidates.

Speaking to the media persons, following the meet, District-in-Charge Minister informed that MRPL, OMPL, ISPRL and MSEZ have come to consensus to hire 1,063 job aspirants from Project Displaced Families directly, without imposing any prior condition. As agreed earlier, MRPL has to recruit 183 candidates out of which it has already provided jobs to 86 youth and it will hand over the job offer letters to remaining candidates within three months, he said.

“OMPL has to provide jobs to 302 candidates out of which it has already recruited three people. Among the rest 299 candidates, 143 youth will be recruited within next 18 months and the remaining 156 trained youth will be given job letters and hired later. Among 58 job aspirants, ISPRL will employ 14 candidates, while rest of the 44 candidates will be recruited in the later stage. Among the remaining 520 job aspirants to be recruited by MSEZ, four have been already given the job and rest 516 candidates will be hired in later,” informed Palemar.

He said that all the job aspirants will be recruited by the companies within three years and till then the unemployed trained youth will be given monthly stipend of Rs 10,000 each. The priority will be given to the first batch students who have undergone three year diploma training, followed by the next batch of students, he said.

MSEZ will form a trust including the District-in-Charge Minister, the MP, the DC and others to decide on the stipend details. He said, the revised government order will reach the PDFs within 15 days.

Responding to the decision taken up in the meeting, R N Shetty Kalavar from Project Displaced Family's Association informed that they would believe the decision only after he receives the minutes of the meeting. The minutes are expected to reach PDFs by Tuesday evening. With the Monday's meeting, four month long conflict between the job aspirants and the MSEZ authorities seems to have come to an end.

Bengaluru: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government has requested the Karnataka High Court to direct the Mandya district administration and the state government to clear a madrasa operating within the premises of the historic Jama Masjid in Srirangapatna.

The Waqf Board, opposing this move, has claimed the mosque as its property and defended the right to conduct madrasa activities there.

The matter was brought before a division bench headed by Chief Justice N V Anjaria following a public interest litigation filed by a person named Abhishek Gowda from Kabbalu village in Kanakapura taluk. The petition alleged “unauthorised madrasa activities” within the mosque.

Representing the Central government, Additional Solicitor General of India for High Court of Karnataka, K Arvind Kamath argued that the Jama Masjid was designated as a protected monument in 1951, yet unauthorised madrasa operations continue there.

He noted that concerns over potential law and order issues have so far prevented any intervention. Kamath urged the court to direct the Mandya district administration to take action and vacate the madrasa from the mosque.

In defence, lawyers for the state government and the Waqf Board contested this request, stating that the Waqf Board had been recognised as the owner of the property since 1963 and, thus, conducting madrasa activities there is lawful.

After hearing both sides, the bench adjourned the case for further arguments, scheduling the next hearing for November 20.

Mangaluru, Nov 7: In the quiet village of Tippunagar, Loretto Padavu, a heartbreaking accident claimed the life of three-year-old Aashika on Wednesday, leaving a family and community shattered.

Aashika, the beloved daughter of Unais from Pattanabailu near Farangipet, was simply enjoying a carefree moment, playing outside her grandmother’s house. It was then that an unimaginable tragedy struck: a parked goods tempo, owned by her uncle, unexpectedly rolled backward, trapping the innocent child beneath its wheels.

Despite her family’s desperate rush to get her to the hospital, little Aashika’s injuries proved too severe, and she was declared dead upon arrival. Her passing has cast a deep shadow over the close-knit community, who grieve alongside her family for the life taken too soon.

The Bantwal traffic police have registered a case and are investigating the incident, while the community mourns the loss of a precious young soul who had only just begun to experience life’s wonder.

In a tragic turn of events, a young spectator lost his life during a bull-taming event, Kobbari Hori, at Chigalli in Mundgod taluk, Uttara Kannada, on Saturday. 

Parameshwar Siddappa Harijan, aged 22, was fatally gored by a marauding bull during the event, which had drawn large crowds as part of the Deepavali festival celebrations.

With thousands of spectators lining the path to witness the action, the event took a horrific turn when the bull charged directly at Parameshwar, inflicting severe injuries. 

Despite efforts to rush him to the hospital, Parameshwar tragically succumbed to his wounds on the way.

In response to the fatal accident, another bull-taming event scheduled for the evening in Mundgod town was promptly cancelled, as shock and grief swept through the community following the heartbreaking incident.
