Mangaluru: Complaint filed against those abusing lawyers on social media after 'Girgit' movie's stay
Mangaluru: Ever since the Principal Civil Judge on Thursday stayed the screening of Tulu movie ‘Girgit’ after hearing the plea from the Mangaluru Lawyer’s association, there has been widespread debate on the matter in local social media groups and platforms.
Taking note of derogatory remarks and abuses to the lawyers on the issue, the lawyers’ association has filed a complaint with local police to initiate action against those making such remarks.
The lawyer’s association also requested Mangaluru Police Commissioner Dr. PS Harsha to initiate action against those found guilty of abusing and using foul language against the lawyers.
Speaking on the issue, association’s General Secretary H V Raghavendra told reporters that they have submitted a few names and screenshots to the police and has urged them to take strict action against those who found guilty.
Police Commissioner Harsha assured the Lawyers’ Association that the department will immediately work on the case and action will be taken against whoever found abusing or using foul languages. He also added that action will also be taken against those who forward or support any such messages on social media.

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.
