Karwar, June 21: Brushing aside the allegations of 'Muslim specific survey' by 'men in khaki', in some minority dominated areas of Bhatkal, Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police R Ramesh on Tuesday said the police are carrying out their responsibility without any bias and prejudice.

Confusion prevailed among the residents of Bhatkal town after the police launched door to door survey seeking details of the people and their credentials for the last one week. While the senior police officials referred this as a routine exercise towards crime prevention, the locals suspected something amiss as such exercise has been exclusively kept in the Muslim dominated areas.

Mr Ramesh said that some people in Bhatkal might have mistaken the beat survey because the town has the majority of the Muslim community.

“This is a district wise exercise and such survey is still on in Hindu and Christian dominant areas of the district too”, he said adding that police have nothing to do with the religion or caste of the people.

He assured that the exercise is part of crime prevention strategy and police are collecting the data only for the security of the people.

The SP also urged the people to co-operate with police and stop suspecting them.

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 The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.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