Temple cannot supply mid-day meals to Kalladka Sri Rama School: Rudrappa Lamani
Bengaluru: Kollur temple cannot supply mid-day meals to the students of Kalladka Sri Rama School. But it will be checked weather mid-day meals can be supplied under the government scheme, said minister for Textiles and Muzrai Rudrappa Manappa Lamani.
On Tuesday, replying the query from BJP MLA Poojary in Legislative council, Lamani said, the fund coming from Kollur temple is dedicated to the welfare of religious places and not for other reasons.
The school management can send a request to the state government for the supply of mid-day meals to the school children. The government can consider the supply of mid-day meals on par with other government schools,'' the minister said.
Disappointed with minister's reply, the BJP members rushed into the well of the House and staged a dharna demanding the restoration of mid-day meals to Kalladka Sri Rama School.
Legislative Council Chairman DH Shankaramurthy asked the protesting MLCs to take their seats. At this juncture, the Chairman adjourned the House for 30 minutes.
Later, the BJP members were calmed after Minister M R Seetharam assured them of taking the issue to the Chief Minister's notice.

Allahabad HC orders police protection to married couple apprehending 'honour killing'
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has granted protection to a married couple who expressed fear that they may be killed by the woman's family.
The order was passed by a division bench comprising Justice JJ Munir and Justice Tarun Saxena on March 25.
"No individual can make an 'honour issue' out of a consenting adult marrying a person of their own choice. It is the state's duty to protect the life, limb, and property of such persons even against their own family members," the bench said.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Prachi Agrawal and her partner, who sought relief in connection with an FIR filed under Section 87 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for kidnapping, and abducting or inducing a woman to compel her marriage.
The couple submitted that they married at an Arya Samaj temple and possessed a marriage registration certificate issued under the Uttar Pradesh Marriage Registration Rules, 2017.
The petitioners alleged that the woman's family members were averse to their marriage and lodged a bogus FIR against them.
The couple further submitted a joint affidavit expressing apprehension of an honour killing by the woman's family.
The court said that a prima facie case was made out and issued notice to the private respondent and granted two weeks to file a counter-affidavit.
Meanwhile, as an interim measure, the court granted the petitioners protection from arrest.
The court also explicitly ordered the woman's family members and relatives not to harm the petitioners, enter their matrimonial home, or establish contact with them directly or through any electronic means.
The bench directed the Aligarh senior superintendent of police to ensure that no harm comes to the couple and posted the matter for hearing on April 8.
