August 27, 2011

Belthangady, August 27: District-in-Charge Minister Krishna Palemar paid surprise visits to various departments in Belthangady and took the officials to taks for delay in clearing the files.

When the Minister realised that there was rampant corruption in taluk office and the files are disposed very late, he warned the officials.

He found few files pending for the last four months and urged the officials to dispose all the pending files within 15 days. The minister also visited sub registrar's office, Nemmadi kendra and horticulture department.

He said that if there was any loopholes in the functioning, then the officials will be suspended and criminal case will be filed against them.

He said that Dakshina Kannada will be made a model district in the State. “I pay surprise visit to the government offices to review the working condition. If I get complaint on delay in clearing the files, then stringent action will be taken against the officials.”

The government had released a sum of Rs 25 lakh for maintaining a record room in Mangalore taluk office. Similar system will be started in Belthangady.

“The contract of Nemmadi kendra will come to an end within a month. The government will take over the functioning of Nemmadi Kendra from October. All the loopholes in the functioning of the Nemmadi Kendra will be set right. The officials concerned will be held responsible if there was any mistake in the ration card. The government is also planning to set up Nemmadi Kendras at the gram panchayat level.”

Udupi: A vigilant Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable, Aparna K T, demonstrated remarkable presence of mind when she rescued a student who slipped while trying to board a moving train at Udupi Railway Station on Friday morning.

The incident occurred as passenger train number 06602 arrived at the station around 7:30 AM. The student, traveling from Mangaluru to Gokarna, had briefly alighted to purchase snacks. However, as the train began moving, she hurried back towards the carriage with the snacks in hand. In her rush, she lost her footing, slipping dangerously between the platform and the moving train.

Woman constable Aparna K T was given a cash reward of Rs 5000.

Constable Aparna, who had been closely monitoring the passengers, immediately sprang into action. “I saw her running towards the train and alerted everyone by blowing my whistle. She slipped, and her legs were caught between the platform and the train. Without hesitation, I pulled her out with the help of others nearby,” she recalled.

Thanks to Aparna’s quick thinking and the swift response of the railway staff, the train was stopped in time. Railway personnel, including the guard and loco pilot, were immediately informed, and they acted promptly to halt the train using both flag signals and a walkie-talkie.

RPF Inspector Madhusoodhanan PV arrived at the scene shortly after to check on the passenger's condition. The shaken but uninjured student was given water and helped back onto the train to safely continue her journey.

In an added measure of care, the RPF post at Bhatkal was notified to follow up on the passenger’s well-being during her journey. The student, fortunately, reached her destination without further incident.

The heroic rescue was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media, earning widespread praise. In recognition of her bravery, Regional Railway Manager (RRM) Karwar awarded Constable Aparna a cash reward of ₹5,000, commending her quick action that averted a potentially tragic accident.
