Congress leaders responsible for violence: Shobha Karandlaje
Mangaluru: BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje has alleged that the Congress leaders were responsible for Thursday's violence in the city. Addressing press persons here on Saturday, she said that the city started burning within 24 hours of UT Khader delivered a provocative speech in front of the DC office. Congress leaders should bear this burden, she added.
The incident seems to have taken place because the leaders of the PFI and SDPI wanted to take control over Mangaluru. This requires a thorough investigation. Who came to Karnataka from outer state. Who participated in the fight. Investigation into who hurled stones, petrol bombs, who set fire must be carried out. Also, a thorough investigation must be conducted into who was behind the incident.
For a query regarding a provocative statement made by a police inspector in a video, Shobha Karandlaje replied "everything will be investigated."

Bengaluru (PTI): Bengaluru City Police (BCP) on Monday said that it has, in collaboration with cab aggregator platforms Uber and Ola, implemented a technology-driven integration aimed at enhancing the safety of riders and drivers.
It would also strengthen emergency response mechanisms across the city.

Through this integration, riders and drivers seeking emergency assistance can directly share real-time location data, trip details, and contact information with Bangalore City Police's 112 emergency response infrastructure from within the Uber/Ola app itself, an official release said.
Noting that this seamless flow of critical information enables quicker police access during emergencies, facilitating faster response times and potentially life-saving interventions by first responders, it said the initiative is a significant step towards leveraging technology partnerships to ensure safer urban mobility and improved public safety.
