Belagavi, Dec 11: Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy today said that the government would soon provide 10 hours of three-phase power supply in rural areas to help farmers to irrigate their land in a better manner using ground water sources.

Replying to M S Somalingappa (BJP) during the question hour in the Winter Session at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha here on Tuesday, he said so far three-phase power is supplied for seven hours and it will be extended to 10 hours.

The Chief Minister said the government had no problem in giving three-phase power supply during the day but it was given only during night time as farmers had informed the government that during day there will be less ground water in bore wells.

He said 'Nirantara Jyoti' scheme to supply uninterrupted power supply to rural areas had been implemented in some areas and further work was on. The government was also improving transmission lines to provide quality power to farmers.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
