Judge Kadlur hails service of police personnel
Police Commemoration Day observation at Mangaluru
Mangaluru, October 21: Principal district and sessions court judge Kadlur Satyanaranayacharya hailed the role of police personnel in maintaining the internal security in the society.
Speaking at the Police Commemoration Day programme here on Sunday, the judge said that in the last year, 414 police personnel, officers and staff have lost their precious lives while serving the society in the country. Their service is ensuring the security and safety in the society is commendable. They were on duty for round-the-clock. If the people have been sleeping peacefully, it was because of the efforts of the police. If there was no police force in the society, the anti-social elements would have been ruling the roost in the society, he said.
Last year, two rowdy sheeters, with weapons, have tried to abduct a person in Gulbarga. But at that time, the police, without any weapons, had arrested the rowdy sheeters risking their lives. The police would not use their weapons as and when they want. The police have been working under mental and physical pressure. People should understand the working nature of the police department and cooperative with them to ensure law and order situation in the society, he said.
SP Dr. B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda listed out the martyr police personnel on the occasion. Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil, Police Commissioner T.R. Suresh, Judge Mallanna Gowda, Law and Order Division DCP Hanumantharaya, ACP Manjunath Shetty and others paid homage to the martyrs on the occasion.

Congress voices concern over safety of minorities in Bangladesh
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".
"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.
A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.
Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.
India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.
Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.
In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
