Padubidre, Jan 07: The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike near Padubidre Tempo Stand has launched an indefinite strike against the Navayuga Company alleging that the company wanted to collect toll though the construction of four-lane road on National Highway 66 has been not completed yet.

All the panchayat vehicles coming under Padubidri Zilla Panchayat should be allowed free of charge for free traffic. Free traffic should be implemented within one month of allowing free traffic to Udupi district registry vehicles. Service road should begin immediately from Padubidri to Kalkanka to Mulki. The bus station should be constructed immediately in Padubidri. Protesters demanded that the separate bus stand near Tempo Station be built and allow the highway smooth traffic.

Toll should not be collected from the vehicles which belong to Padubidre district panchayat. Udupi registered vehicles must get free transportation facility within a month. Work on the service road from Padubidre Kalsanka to Mulki should immediately begin. A bus stand must be constructed at Padubidre immediately, the protesters urged.

Karnataka Rakshana Vedike district president Ansar Ahmed, state organiser Prasanna Kumar Shetty Hebri, leaders Lokesh Kanchinadka, Hasan Bava, Niyaz Ahmed, Asif Appadbandhav, Umesh Jogi, Junaid, Sudheer Poojary, Firoz Kanchinadka, Abdul Hameed, Sulaiman Kanchinadka and others were present.

Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.

However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.

Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."

Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.

Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.

Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
