Mangalore, February 8: Mangalore Qazi Twaqa Ahmed Musliyar visited several families which have people with disabilities in and around Dakshina Kannada to get a first hand information about their living conditions.

The Qazi was particularly moved by the plight of a destitute family in Chennar Palthad of Puttur taluk which has five members with various disabilities. Sharief (34), Ishaq (32), Reshma (30), Saleem (28) and Haneef (25) are living in a crammed house and are being cared for by their mother Bibi Jahn. She ekes out her the expenses of livelihood by running a petty shop, which she has been able to set up with the help of Muslim Central Committee and the Kolya Swamiji.

Mohammed of Surikumer is also living a life of misery and penury. He is suffering from paralysis for the past six years. He is confined to his bed and feels more helpless whenever he thinks about his two grown up daughters, who are waiting to get married. In Kukkaje Pathmudu, two mentally challenged youngsters live in a dingy house of Mohammed Rafeeq Maulavi. His two grown up children, the 22-year-old Balkees and 19-year-old Sheikh Abdullah, present a picture of agony and pain. Qazi felt completely gutted after visiting them.

Speaking on the occasion, Qazi reminded the local jamaths, the khateebs and the presidents of the respective jamaths of their responsibility to attend to the needs of these destitute families. He said, the responsibility of the Jamath does not end with making provision of the salaries and perks of the Qateeb, imam and the mudarris. “You also have a responsibility towards the helpless destitute families living under your jamaths,” he said.

He also pointed out that a special institution will come up at Malabar Islami Complext exclusively for children with disabilities. “The residential school will start functioning very soon. This will be a unique opportunity for people with disabilities,” he said. He also informed that plans are afoot to start a special school under the auspices of Shamsul Ulema Islamic Academy in Todar in Dakshina Kannada.

He also congratulated a middle-aged man, who quit the habit of drinking after attending de-addiction programme and asked him to remain steadfast in his conviction. He also prayed for him.

Abdul Khader Darimi Kukkila, B. Basheer, Mangalore Marketing, Abdul Khader Haji Evergreen, Sulaiman Belvai, Mohammed Haneef Alangar, Naushad Faizi Kannur, Rahim B.C. Road, and volunteers of Talent Research Foundation, Riyaz Kannur, Abdul Hameed Kannur, Yahya Mubarak, Mohammed U.B., Asif Kannur, Mohammed Bellacharu and Rafeeq Master were present in the delegation.

The philanthropists also gave monetary assistance to the families and promised them of sustained help. TRF has already drawn up a programme of financial aid by identifying 138 families which have destitute members.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: In an unimaginable twist of fate, the vibrant life of 19-year-old K Ahmed Shaheem was abruptly cut short on the evening of January 15, as he collapsed and passed away while enjoying a game of badminton with friends at Falnir, Mangaluru.

Shaheem, the beloved son of Shareef, originally from Addoor and currently residing at Ivory Tower, Attavar, Mangaluru, was in the prime of his youth. 

A student pursuing his graduation at a local private college, Shaheem had a bright future ahead, filled with dreams and ambitions. His sudden death has left family, friends, and the entire community in shock and grief.

Witnesses recount the heart-wrenching moment when Shaheem, in the middle of an energetic game, suddenly fell to the ground. His friends, devastated by the sight, rushed him to the hospital in the hope of saving his life. But tragically, doctors confirmed that he had passed away by the time he arrived.

Shaheem was not only a student, but also a passionate individual deeply involved in various social organizations, where he touched many lives with his kindness and commitment. His sudden departure has left a void that can never be filled, and his memory will remain forever etched in the hearts of all who knew him.

As his family mourns the loss of their precious son, the community stands in solidarity, deeply moved by the untimely loss of a young life that had so much promise.

Mangaluru: Establishing a Beary Development Corporation is a valid demand, but its implications must be carefully studied, remarked Speaker UT Khader. He proposed forming an expert committee to evaluate the corporation’s potential impact on the Beary community during a district-level conference of the Beary-speaking community, organized by the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha at Kudmul Ranga Rao Town Hall on Wednesday.

Khader expressed concerns over inefficiencies in existing government-established corporations, such as unfilled leadership positions, lack of appointed members, and insufficient funding. “The Beary Development Corporation must avoid similar pitfalls,” he emphasized. He noted that the Minorities Development Corporation already provides various schemes for Beary Muslims, urging a detailed assessment to ensure the new corporation’s funding does not fall short of current provisions, which could disadvantage the community.

Praising the industrious and self-respecting nature of the Beary community, Khader highlighted the respect Beary elders once commanded in villages. He encouraged the youth to uphold this legacy and actively contribute to the community’s progress. Additionally, he commended the Beary youth for their swift and dedicated responses during emergencies, which have garnered widespread recognition.

Khader underscored the importance of unity, cautioning against fostering divisions within the community. He also stressed the critical role of education in development, urging the maintenance of detailed records for SSLC and PUC students to track progress.

The event was presided over by Azeez Baikampadi, president of the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha. Among the dignitaries present were former MLA Mohiudeen Bava and retired police officer GA Bawa. Dr. UT Ifikhar Ali Farid, honorary president of the Akhila Bharata Beary Mahasabha and chairman of the Karnataka State Allied and Healthcare Council, was felicitated during the program.

In notable initiatives, Kanachuru Monu, chairman of Kanachuru Medical College, unveiled the Mahasabha’s new website, while Sheikhabba Karnire of Expertise Company, Jubail, launched an IAS-IPS program aimed at empowering the Beary community.
