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.

Rupee declines 27 paise to 90.95 against US dollar in early trade
Mumbai (PTI): The rupee depreciated 27 paise to 90.95 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday, weighed down by a strong American currency and higher crude oil prices due to the escalated geopolitical tension.
A selling rush in domestic equities further pressured the Indian currency, forex traders said.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 90.94 and slipped further to trade at 90.95 against the greenback in early deals, losing 27 paise from its previous closing level.
The rupee rose 4 paise to settle at 90.68 against the US dollar on Wednesday. The currency exchange markets were closed on Thursday on account of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti.
