Mangaluru’s Zubair part of the team that struck down terrorists in J&K
Mangaluru: A Tulu Nadu boy was one among the brave soldiers who successfully gunned down terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir recently.
The young soldier Zubair, the second son of Samoon Byari and Aminamma couple, hails from Neranki of Bajattur village in Kadaba taluk was a part of the team who were successful in striking down the militants.
Zubair pursued his education at the government higher primary school at Haleneranki and secondary education at Sri Ramakunjeshwara. He later completed his PUC and BBM courses at St Philomena College.
It may be recalled here that two Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) militants were killed by security forces in Srinagar's Karan Nagar area on Tuesday after a gunfight of nearly 30 hours that had started after a failed attack bid on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Kashmir.
Zubair has uploaded a video of the operation on his Facebook wall, which has gone viral. In social media platforms, Zubair has earned a lot of appreciation for the successful operation.
However, it is a matter of pride for the coastal region that our boy was a part of the team which gunned down terrorists.

Karnataka approves railway barricades in Madikeri, Nagarhole to curb human-elephant conflict
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre on Tuesday said a 7-km railway barricade has been approved for the Madikeri division and 20 km for the Nagarhole division in 2025–26 to curb human-elephant conflict in the regions.
Responding to a proposal raised by BJP MLC Suja Kushalappa during Zero Hour in the Legislative Council, he assured that work on the proposed railway barricades would begin soon.
Citing the death of a 17-year-old girl in an elephant attack on February 28 and that of a tribal woman on March 9 in the state, the minister said these deaths caused by elephant attacks were "extremely painful".
"Human life is very precious and cannot be valued in monetary terms. The Forest Department is taking all measures to prevent human-wildlife conflict."
The minister further said steps such as maintenance of elephant-proof trenches and solar-powered fencing were being undertaken, while two elephant task forces were currently in operation.
Orders have also been issued by the Chief Wildlife Warden to capture two rogue elephants.
In both cases, Rs 5 lakh compensation has already been disbursed to the families of the deceased, and the remaining Rs 15 lakh each will be provided within a week, he added.
Khandre said the government was making sincere efforts to find a permanent solution to the human–elephant conflict.
