‘Don’t arrest Sangha Pariwar workers unnecessarily in Perduru issue’
MP Shobha Karandlaje meets SP Nimbargi
Udupi, June 4: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje urged the police department not to arrest the Sangh Parivar workers unnecessarily in cattle trader Hussainabba death case.
After meeting SP Lakshman Nimbargi at the latter’s office here on Monday evening, Shobha expressed her displeasure over arresting the Bajrang Dal workers in related to the case. Illegal transportation of cattle in Perduru and Hiriyadka regions was increasing. Such incidents happened as this illegal activity was not controlled. So, the police department should take steps to control it, she added.
Bajrang Dal workers have informed the police about illegal transportation of cattle. The police should have taken precautionary measures at that time. Instead of doing their duty, they have summoned Bajrang Dal leader Suresh Mendon to complete their work, and later made him the accused. Police should not threaten the workers in this case. It was decided to protest in Udupi on Wednesday against the arrest of the Bajrang Dal workers, she said.
MLA K Raghupathi Bhat, Lalji R Mendon, BM Sukumar Shetty, BJP Mangaluru incharge K Uday Kumar Shetty, district president Mattar Rathnakar Hegde, former president Thingale Vikramarjuna Hegde and others were present.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
