Dasara holidays in Dakshina Kannada from October 1: MLA Vaedavyas Kamath
Mangaluru: MLA Vaedavyas Kamath on Friday said that Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar has approved his request of declaring Dasara holidays beginning October 1 till October 15.
The move comes after the MLA had met the minister last week seeking his assistance in declaring Dasara holidays from October 1 in Dakshina Kannada District instead of October 6.
Kamath thanked the minister for issuing order in this regard after considering his request to facilitate students in the District to take part in rituals and other religious events without any inconveniences.

Mangaluru: 74-year-old man cheated of Rs 1.77 crore in American commodities investment scam
Mangaluru: A 74-year-old man from the city has allegedly been cheated of Rs 1.77 crore in an online investment scam linked to American commodities trading, Deccan Herald reported on Thursday.
According to the complaint, the victim received a phone call on December 24 last year from a person who identified himself as Shoib Ghauri from a firm named Ventrade.
The caller allegedly promised high returns through investments in American commodities markets and assured that funds transferred in Indian rupees would be converted into US dollars and invested on the victim’s behalf.
Police said the accused remained in contact with the victim through email, WhatsApp, and phone calls. Initially, the complainant invested a small amount and received some returns in his bank account, which increased his confidence in the scheme.
Convinced by the assurances and expecting higher gains, he subsequently transferred larger amounts through RTGS, NEFT, and IMPS to bank accounts provided by the accused.
Between January 5 and February 2, the victim transferred a total of Rs 1,77,64,668.22 to the specified accounts, police said. When the promised returns stopped and communication became irregular, he realised he had been cheated.
A case has been registered at the CEN Police Station in Mangaluru, and further investigation is under way.
