Mangaluru: 14 illegal houses demolished in Panemangaluru
Mangaluru: Working on the orders of Assistant Commissioner Ravichandra Nayak, the Taluk administration on Saturday early morning began the evacuation and demolition drive of the 14 illegal houses constructed in Hobali near Nethravathi River in Panemangaluru.
Revenue Department officials led by Tahsildar Rashmi, and Municipal officials led by Chief Officer Rekha Shetty initiated the drive of evacuating and demolishing 14 houses illegally constructed on two-acre land here. The drive was carried out under heavy police security.
The JCB were deployed for the drive to demolish the houses.
According to the reports the land is not eligible for habitation and is prone during the times of natural calamities and disasters. The authorities have reportedly been issuing notice to the illegal occupants since 2017 but had received no positive response from them. Earlier this month a final notice was issued to them which was also ignored by the residents, leading the officials to carry out drive to evacuate and demolish the houses.

Boat carrying 250 people, including Rohingya and Bangladeshis, sinks in Andaman Sea

Dhaka (AP): At least 250 people, including Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals, were missing after a boat capsized in the Andaman Sea recently on the way to Malaysia, according to the United Nations' refugee and migration agencies.
When the boat sank and the status of any search Wednesday were unclear.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration in a joint statement said Tuesday that the trawler departed from Teknaf in the southern Bangladeshi district of Cox's Bazar carrying a large number of passengers to Malaysia.
Overcrowding, strong winds and rough seas caused the vessel to lose control and sink, the agencies said.
UNHCR and IOM said the disappearance reflected the protracted displacement of Rohingya people and the absence of durable solutions.
They said ongoing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state has made the Rohingyas' safe return to Myanmar uncertain, and limited humanitarian assistance, restricted access to education and employment in refugee camps, continue to push vulnerable Rohingya refugees to choose risky sea journeys, often based on false promises of higher wages and better opportunities abroad.
UNHCR and IOM urged the international community to strengthen funding and solidarity to ensure lifesaving assistance for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, which has sheltered more than 1 million Rohingya from Myanmar.
