Dharwad, Mar 1: Karnataka Primary & Secondary Education Minister S Sureshkumar on Monday said that the SSLC examinations would be held from June 21 till July 5.

Announcing the time-table here he said that the government had announced a temporary date to hold the exam and had invited objections from the public. As the one- month time to raise objections and also to give suggestions ended on February 26, the department has decided to hold the SSLC examination from June 21.

The time-table is as follows: June 21-first language (Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, English and Sanskrit), June 24-Mathematics, June 28- Science, June 30- third language (Hindi, Kannada, English, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sanskrit, Konkani and Tulu), July 2-Second language (English, Kannada), and on June 5-Social Studies.

This time the examination will be different since the syllabus had to be shrunk as the schools could not be opened till January. To see that no pressure is mounted on students and simultaneously to ensure that the students are not deprived of knowledge, the chapters which are not linked to PUC first year have been dropped from the syllabus, the minister said.

To conduct the examination and improve the passing percentage, headmasters workshop will be held in every district and best practices will be adopted, he said.

On starting schools from first standard till fifth standard, the minister said that if everything had gone right, the primary schools should have started today. But, including Karnataka, there is a surge in Covid-19 positive cases in six other states. Thereby, the department has decided to take a final call in the next seven days on starting classes of first standard to fifth standard after consultation with the Health Department.

Mangaluru: In a shocking case of fraud, six individuals posing as officials from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) swindled a beedi businessman of Rs 25 to 30 lakh in cash and five mobile phones at Kolnad in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada on Friday night.

The incident came to light after Mohammed Iqbal, 27, lodged a complaint with the police, stating that his father, a beedi trader, was targeted by the imposters.

According to the complaint, the six accused arrived at the businessman’s residence around 8:10 pm in a car with Tamil Nadu registration plates. Claiming to be ED officials, they announced that they had orders to search the house and began confiscating mobile phones from the family members.

The fraudsters reportedly discovered Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh in cash, which the businessman had kept aside for business purposes. They claimed that keeping such a large amount was illegal and threatened to arrest him unless he complied. By 10:30 pm, the group left the house, instructing the businessman to submit documents at the ED office in Bengaluru to reclaim the money.

Later, upon discussing the incident with his family, Iqbal realized that the individuals were not ED officials but fraudsters who had impersonated authorities to rob them.

A case has been registered at Vittal Police Station under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. An investigation is underway, and the police have promised swift action to apprehend the culprits.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Yathish N, along with senior officers, visited the crime scene and assured the family that the perpetrators would be brought to justice at the earliest.

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The coastal city of Mangaluru witnessed yet another alarming car fire incident last evening, marking the latest in a series of similar mishaps in recent months. Fortunately, quick action by the driver and passengers prevented any injuries.

On January 1, a moving Volkswagen car caught fire on the road leading to the helipad at Maryhill. The passengers noticed flames emanating from the front of the vehicle. Acting promptly, the driver pulled over, and all four occupants exited safely.

Local residents attempted to douse the flames using water, and personnel from the Kadri fire service soon arrived to manage the situation. Despite their efforts, the car's engine was completely destroyed.

This incident adds to a growing list of car fire cases reported in Mangaluru recently:

December 16, 2024: A Hyundai car caught fire near City Centre Mall. The driver narrowly escaped.
