Kadaba: Miscreants break into church, destroy holy cross, place Hanuman portrait
Kadaba: The unfortunate incident which took place at Kutrupady near Kadaba on 1 May where some miscreants reportedly placed a Hanuman portrait inside Immanuel Assembly of God Church while destroying the cross to replace it with saffron flag is taking new twists day by day, it is learned.
In a complaint lodged by Fr Jose Verghese of the Immanuel Assembly of God Church, he alleged that the miscreants had escaped with an electric meter, water pump, pipes and also documents related to the church.
On 3 May Hindutva organisations had visited the church and alleged that it was an illegal construction. Meanwhile, Enkaje Shobharaj, a local, had filed a complaint in this regard to the Tahsildar.
“Unknown people have entered illegally into my site while proceeding with religious activities here. Alternative land was given to my father which was passed on to my sisters and me after his death. We made a living out of farming in this land. However, now they have illegally entered this site to construct illegal buildings here,” alleged Shobharaj in his complaint.
The SDPI officials who visited the controversial site on Friday had accused Hindutva organisations while alleging that miscreants from certain Hindutva organisations have incited communal violence in Kadaba for political gains.
“While elections are on the way, the district administration stands responsible for this unpleasant incident,” SDPI vice president Martis alleged while seeking serious action against the miscreants.
Meanwhile, Puttur sub division superintendent police Gana P Kumar was reported at the site. Kadaba station investigation SI Shrikanth Rathore and others were present.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
