Life of Madhukar Shetty itself is a message to the youth: DCP Abdul Ahad Puthige
Udupi, Jan 11: Bengaluru Whitefield DCP Abdul Ahad Puthige said that for the first time, IPS officer Madhukar Shetty entered into the Legislators Home in Bengaluru and arrested a corrupt MLA.
He was speaking at a programme organized to pay respect to senior IPS officer late Madhukar Shetty, by Udupi district Muslim Okkoota at Ammanni Ramanna Shetty Auditorium here on Friday. He said that Madhukar Shetty played a major role in punishing those who were involved in Bellari illegal mining. The life of Madhukar Shetty itself was a message to the youth. The onus of continuing his message was on people now.
“We could pay our respect just by working against the corruption and helping the oppressed classes and raising voice in favour of the truth and justice. Madhukar Shetty had clear vision on checking corruption. He believed that corruption could not be checked just by arresting the clerks or constables. Instead, one has to find out the root cause of corruption. If he was given just two more years time and support, he would have completely controlled the corrupt activities in the state ”, Ahad Puthige opined.

Pak cancels nearly 184 international flights to West Asia after Iran attack
Karachi (PTI): At least 184 international flights of different airlines from Pakistan to the West Asia have been cancelled since Saturday owing to the escalating situation after the US and Israel attacked Iran.
A spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Muscat, Sharjah, Riyadh, Jeddah from Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Quetta, Sialkot, Peshawar, Faisalabad had all been cancelled.
“The flights were on the schedule of different airlines,” Hafeez Khan said.
International flights in the West Asia have all been badly disrupted or suspended after the closure of the Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports which serve as a major hub for connecting flights to Europe, USA, Canada, South America etc.
Airline authorities have suspended all air traffic in the region because of the increase in missile and drone attacks by Iran on the US bases in the region.
The spokesperson said at least 40 flights were cancelled from Islamabad and another 46 from Lahore.
The Pakistan airspace remains open for domestic flights, he said.
The attack on Iran by the US and Israel disrupted flights across the West Asia and beyond as countries around the region closed their airspace and key airports that connect Europe, Africa and the West to Asia were directly hit by strikes.
