Appropriate action against those who create hurdle for Shivaratri programme: Minister UT Khader
Mangaluru: The Shivaratri was celebrated across Dakshina Kannada district without any problem. But why did the police disrupted the celebration at two places in the limits of Mangaluru police Commissionerate? Which officer ordered them? I have ordered the Commissioner of Police to conduct an inquiry into all these issues. Later, appropriate action would be initiated; Minister UT Khader told media persons.
Those who are in a responsible position should know the cultural background and practices of the district. Law and order should be maintained keeping this in mind. I got to know about an incident that took place on Shivaratri. Immediately I called up IGP and asked not to disrupt the programme; Minister Khader told media.

Report on Sambhal mosque survey likely to be submitted to local court; security tight in district
Sambhal(UP) (PTI): Security was stepped up across the district ahead of Friday prayers and the likely submission of a report on the survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid here by the court-appointed ASI team following claims that a temple once stood at the spot.
Tension has been brewing in Sambhal since November 19 when the court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid was carried out following claims that a Harihar temple previously stood at the site.
Divisional Commissioner of Moradabad, Aunjaneya Kumar Singh said security measures have been reinforced at sensitive religious sites in the area and around the court in Chandausi.
The lawyer for the Hindu side, Gopal Sharma, said the court hearing on Friday will see the plaintiff's side present their reply, and the court commissioner is expected to submit the findings from the survey conducted on the disputed site.
"Our further action will be determined after the survey report is reviewed," Sharma said.
Shakeel Ahmed Warsi, the lawyer representing the Muslim side, said they are fully prepared to present their case.
"We have all the necessary evidence, and we will first request a copy of the survey report before strongly presenting our side in court," Warsi stated.
Violence erupted on November 24 as protesters gathered near the mosque and clashed with security personnel, leading to stone pelting and arson. Four people died and scores of others were injured in the violence.
The situation remains tense, and local authorities are closely monitoring the developments to maintain peace and order.
