Drinking water well goes "missing" in Bantwal, PDO files police complaint
Bantwal: While it is natural to register a missing report with the police when any person, animal, or assets go missing, at the Bantwal police station a unique complaint has been filed over the apparent missing of a well. The Narikombu village’s Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) reportedly filed a complaint, “A well has gone missing, please search and give”, at the Bantwal station.
In his complaint to the police, the Narikombu village PDO identified as Shivagondappa Biradar has asked the police to find the missing well which was constructed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee at the Narikombu gram panchayat jurisdiction in Nelyadka.
Additionally in the complaint, the PDO has also accused a resident of Nelyadka identified as Dayanand Poojary of covering the well with dirt and invading the area.
During the 13th year of the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee scheme 2012, the well had been publically dug with a grant of 73,305 rupees. At present, a local named Dayanand Poojary has unlawfully closed the well and encroached on the area. Through his complaint, the PDO has asked for legal action to be taken against Dayanand Poojary for causing an economic loss to the government.

CPI leader attends RSS-organised Hindu meet, district unit seeks clarification
Manjeshwar: The participation of a CPI leader in a Hindu convention organised by the RSS has triggered discussion in political circles.
Sundari Shetty, former president of Meenja panchayat and a district committee member of the CPI in Kasaragod, attended the Hindu gathering held in Meenja. She offered floral tribute to a portrait of Bharat Mata and also addressed the gathering from the stage, which has led to controversy.
Following the development, the CPI district unit has issued a notice to Sundari Shetty seeking an explanation. Party sources said that the presence of a senior leader of a party that follows communist ideology at a Hindu convention has caused unease within the party.
There are indications that disciplinary action may be initiated against her in connection with the incident.
