Prepared to supply water to residents even if the dam goes completely dry: Dakshina Kannada DC
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner, Sasikanth Senthil on Thursday while speaking to Vartha Bharati, assured the city residents that the administration is prepared to supply water in the city even after the Thumbe dam goes completely dry.
Senthil however hoped that the monsoon will arrive by June 6, as per the prediction of Meteorological department and said “Meteorological department has predicted that the monsoon will begin on June 6, plus or minus six days. The dam has water to be supplied till June 10. In case the rain is further delayed, the administration has ‘Plan B’ in place, we will use tankers, open wells and other sources to continue supply of water to the residents”.
The city administration resorted to water rationing system earlier this month wherein water is supplied in the city for four days and the supply would be halted for four days.
Senthil further appealed to the resident to use water carefully and cap the unnecessary use of the water at homes, offices and other places. “The administration has very carefully handled the issue of water scarcity from April last week, so it is also important that the people join us in this and help us by not wasting water, they should stress on saving every drop of water” he added.

Two more Hindu priests arrested in Bangladesh: ISKCON Kolkata
Kolkata, Nov 30: Two more Hindu priests were arrested in Bangladesh, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Saturday.
Speaking to PTI, Radharamn said, "I have received information that two more ISKCON monks have been arrested by police in Bangladesh."
In a post on X on Friday night, Radharamn said, "In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them."
Earlier on Friday, Radharamn had posted, "Another Brahmachari, Sri Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested by Chattogram Police today."
"Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing," Radharamn posted on X on Saturday. His comments comes comes in the backdrop of unconfirmed reports of arrest of three more ISKCON monks, days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmay Das.
Chinmay Das, who also served as a spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail on Tuesday by the Chattogram Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
Historically, Hindus made up approximately 22 per cent of Bangladesh's population during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Hindu population, once a substantial demographic in Bangladesh, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades, with the minority community now comprising only around 8 per cent of the country's total population.
This drop is largely attributed to a combination of socio-political marginalisation, exodus and sporadic violence over the years.
In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them. #Bangladesh #ISKCON pic.twitter.com/NLX8hNZmpN
