M'luru: Strict legal action will be taken against obstruction of police crackdown, warns SP Dr Arun
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Dr Arun K has warned that stringent action will be taken against individuals obstructing the Police Department's efforts to maintain law and order in the district, including the Mangaluru City police limits.
The senior officer stated that law and order in both Dakshina Kannada and Mangaluru City police limits had been severely affected in recent months. A review of murder cases in the region over the past ten years revealed that the accused were often linked to religious organisations. The police will now closely monitor the activities of such organisations and the places frequently visited by their leaders. A list of such leaders has been prepared, and police officers have been directed to keep an eye on the activities of all associated members, he added.
Dr Arun said that preventive measures are being taken regularly against activities that disrupt law and order in the district. However, on Sunday, individuals within the limits of Kadaba Police Station staged a protest without permission outside the police station, objecting to the police action. A case has been filed against the protesters under BNS Section 39/2025, Clauses 189(2) and 180, he said.
Issuing a stern warning, the SP said that strict legal action will be taken against any such disruptions in the future, adding that the police operation will continue until law and order is fully restored in Dakshina Kannada.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
