Dilapidated government school building collapses
Mudigere, August 14: Two rooms of a 57-year-old government higher primary school building which was in a dilapidated condition, at Chinniga village in the taluk were collapsed completely on Tuesday.
Because of heavy rain that has been lashing the taluk for the last few days, the two classrooms were collapsed. But there were no casualties in the incident.
It was about to collapse because of its condition. As a precautionary measure, the school management has shifted the classes to other rooms. Moreover, there was holiday for the school since two days. The school has total 115 students. When the tahsildar was urged to repair the building, he had promised of reserving Rs 4 lakh for the purpose.
BEO Taranath said that the place where the two classrooms were collapsed would be cleaned. Now the school has six classrooms. For time being, the class which has less number of students will be shifted to the room of the headmaster. A proposal would be sent to the government for reconstructing the room, he said.

Donald Trump sends Diwali greetings, condemns attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh
Washington, Oct 31: Sending Diwali greetings, former president Donald Trump, who is the Republican presidential candidate, on Thursday condemned the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh, vowed to strengthen ties with India and described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his good friend.
Bangladesh, he said, remains in a total state of chaos and alleged that his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris and her boss President Joe Biden have ignored Hindus across the world and in America.
“I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
This is for the first time that Trump has spoken on the issue of Bangladesh. Hundreds of Hindus were killed in July-August in Bangladesh when a students’ agitation turned into massive protests leading to then prime minister Sheikh Hasina to flee the country on August 5.
“It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength,” he said.
“We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said.
“Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before and we will Make America Great Again,” he said.
“Also, Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil,” said the former president, who is in a close fight with Harris for the November 5 presidential elections.
