Besides, the MLA also informed the Chief Minister on the rise in moral policing in the city.

“There is a sense of insecurity among the general public, particularly among the minorities, after a series of incidents involving moral policing and communal clash in coastal Karnataka. A large number of students come to the city for studies and their parents are anxious about the rise in anti social elements”, he told the CM.

The MLA asked Chief Minister to look into the issue and enthuse confidence among the public.

In reply, the Chief Minister promised to discuss the matter with the Home Minister and the police officers. “There is no reason for the public to feel insecure. The police are instructed to take action against those indulging in any anti-social activities”, the CM told the MLA and assured special consideration to the district in terms of law and order.

Mr. Lobo also thanked the CM for nabbing the culprit involved in damaging the shrine at Deraklate.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.
