Congress observes Nehru's death anniversary
Mangaluru, May 27: The death anniversary of the first prime minister of the country Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was observed at the District Congress office here on Sunday.
Speaking on the occasion, former district minister Ramanath Rai said that Nehru’s contribution to the fields of agriculture, industry and other sectors has revolutionized the development of the country. His non-alignment policy has attracted the entire world towards the country. Because of the contributions of Congress leaders like Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and others, the country has been competing among developing countries in the world. Unfortunately, because of the communal forces, the society is being divided and it is detrimental to the development. In view of this, there is a need to re-implement the policies and thoughts of Nehru, he said.
District Congress president K Harish Kumar, MLC Ivan D’Souza, KPCC general secretary PV Mohan, former Rajya Sabha Member B Ibrahim, MUDA former president Ibrahim Kodijal and others spoke on the occasion. Party leaders UK Monu, KK Shahul Hameed, J Abdul Salim, Abdul Rauf, Nagaveni, Asha D’Silva, Kavitha Vasu, Prakash B, Salian, Stephan Maroli, BM Bharati, Prabhakar Sriyan, Dinesh PS, Suresh Shetty, Nazeer Bajal, Neeraj Paul, Khalid Ujire, Shafi Ahmed, Padmanabha Amin, Yusuf Ucchil, Lukman Bantwala, Piyush Thokkottu and others were present.

Main accused in Delhi Police constable murder shot dead in Sangam Vihar
New Delhi (PTI): A day after the fatal stabbing of a Delhi Police constable, the main accused in the case was shot dead in an encounter with the personnel of the force in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar area, officials said on Sunday.
Constable Kiran Pal was stabbed to death by three people on Saturday while on night patrolling duty in southeast Delhi's Govindpuri area. Two accused -- Deepak Max and Krish Gupta -- were arrested later in that day.
The third accused, Raghav -- who stabbed Pal with a knife -- was hiding in Sangam Vihar, a senior police officer of Special Cell said.
Acting on specific information, teams of NDR of Special Cell and Narcotics Cell of South East District, went to the area connecting Sangam Vihar and Surajkund Road late on Saturday night, the officer said.
The accused was identified and asked to surrender. He, however, opened fire at the police personnel who retaliated in self-defence and injured the accused.
"He was immediately taken to the ESIC Hospital, Okhla, where he died," the officer said.
A pistol with two cartridges have been seized, the police officer said, adding no police official was injured in the encounter.
Constable Kiran Pal, posted at Govindpuri Police Station, was on night patrolling duty when he stopped three people riding a scooty in the early hours of Saturday.
The accused threw stones at the constable to evade arrest but he managed to waylay them by putting his bike in front of their vehicle, the officer said.
The constable also took away the keys of the scooty and started questioning the trio during which the accused stabbed him, the officer added.
