Convenient transfer policy for teachers is must: U T Khader

September 5, 2013

Bantwal, Sep 5: Minister of Health and Family Welfare U T Khader said that in order to slacken the transfer policy of teachers, he would speak to the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Minister for Higher Education R V Deshpande.

Speaking at 'Guruvandana' programme organised by Dakshina Kannada district and Bantwal taluk teachers' day celebration committees in Bantwal on Thursday, he said that the teachers' transfer policy was reducing the psychological stability of a teacher. In some cases, married couples have to live separately and do their teaching jobs since they are transferred to different places. To avoid this, proper restriction on transfers and an accurate policy is required.

Urging teachers to show love towards their profession, he said, “Love towards teaching will help students perform better academically. Students must develop interest in respecting our nation and work for the development of country but not hinder the development,” he urged.

Delivering the presidential speech, district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai said that teachers ought to consider the teaching profession as service to god and teach likewise. “Teachers should strive to provide value-added education as students tend to imitate their teachers. Children and parents place trust in you, hence you should be keen on imparting qualitative education,” he advised teachers.

Principal of Vivekananda College, Puttur Dr Madhava Bhat delivered a special lecture on the occasion.

Several teachers including Jayananda Peraje, Vasudev Rao, Joseph, Rajashree, Chandrashekhar Bhat, Ramesh Naik Mulur, Dharanendra Jain, D N Raghava, Jagadeesh Shetty, Vasanthi, Lakshman Naik and Umesh Gowda were awarded 'District Best teacher' awards on the occasion.

Teachers Ramesh Nayak and Shridhar Rai who had received state-level 'Best teacher' awards last year, and Ramesh Baya and Sanjeeva H who had received district-level 'Best teacher' awards were felicitated in the programme. A total of 38 teachers who took retirement in the year 2012-13 were also felicitated.

Ramanath Rai released a book called 'Educational possibilities' by teacher Bhaskar Adwala on the occasion.

DK Zilla Panchayat president Koragappa Naik, Bantwal taluk panchayat president Lalita Shivappa, DK Kannada Sahitya Parishad president Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, Mangalore DIET principal Palakshappa were present on the occasion among others.

DDPI Moses Jayashekhar welcomed the gathering, and Bantwal Block Education Officer Sheshashayana Karinja rendered a vote of thanks.

SIT raids rape accused BJP MLA Munirathna’s residence, 15 other locations

September 28,2024

Bengaluru, Sep 28: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing charges against arrested Karnataka BJP MLA N. Munirathna Naidu, including allegations of rape, honey-trapping, and other offences, on Saturday conducted raids at his residence and 15 other locations across the city.

Sources confirmed that the raids were taking place at his Vyalikaval residence and other properties owned by the BJP MLA. The operation is being conducted by the SIT under the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) led by ACP Kavitha.

The team is examining documents, electronic devices, and other materials related to the rape and honey-trapping case. The SIT is being supported by experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), with Superintendent of Police (SP) Sowmya Latha also participating in the search and inspection at Munirathna’s Vyalikaval residence.

According to sources, the raids were triggered by information provided by the victim, who alleged that Munirathna recorded footage of sexual assaults and used it to blackmail politicians and public servants, including IAS and IPS officers.

The victim reportedly revealed that she was used to entrap the woman who had lodged a rape case against a senior IFS officer. She was allegedly instructed to frame the rape victim in a drug peddling case.

The complainant told police that she was tasked with capturing compromising videos of the rape victim who had filed the case against the IFS officer. She claimed that, after several failed attempts to obtain the videos, the victim was drugged with sleeping pills, and obscene footage was recorded without her consent. Later, the IFS officer was bailed out from the charges.

Furthermore, the complainant has accused MLA Munirathna of raping her at his office within the state legislature, in his official vehicle, and at his godown. She has alleged that he recorded videos of these assaults.

Police sources also revealed that the victim in the MLA's case provided details of a plot involving sending HIV-infected women to Munirathna's targets in an attempt to ruin them politically and personally. She also disclosed the names of several politicians whom she had entrapped through honey-trapping.

The woman further claimed that Munirathna had threatened to have her son kidnapped and killed if she refused to comply with his demands. According to her, the MLA had a well-organised team dedicated to carrying out these honey-trapping operations, and she provided details about his close associates and relatives involved in the scheme.

Munirathna, who was in judicial custody following his arrest in the rape and honey-trap case, has now been taken into the custody of the SIT.

The MLA was transferred from Bengaluru Central Jail to the CID office on the night of September 24. The BJP legislator, however, has denied all the allegations, claiming they are false.

Karnataka Congress leader D.K. Suresh had alleged that Munirathna was trying to infect his adversaries with HIV and that the government should investigate the matter.
