Police security to Bantwala Indira Canteen
Bantwala, November 15: Since the construction of compound wall around the Indira Canteen on BC Road triggered political controversy, the police have beefed up the security by putting barricades around it on Thursday.
As Assistant Commissioner Ravichandra Nayak has sought two days time to solve the problem, the construction of the compound was suspended. But as a precautionary measure, the police have beefed up the security.
Alleging that the road was encroached while constructing the compound wall around the Indira Canteen constructed beside the Mini Vidhana Soudha on BC Road, BJP workers led by MLA Rajesh Naik and town municipal council member A Govinda Prabhu staged a protest and demanded removal of the compound wall.
In the evening, Congress workers led by former minister B. Ramanath Rai staged a dharna opposing the BJP’s stand on the issue. The coalition partner JDS also supported the Congress. At that time, some BJP workers and leaders sat dharna near another gate of the Mini Vidhana Soudha and this has created tensed situation for some time. Noticing that the situation may go out of control, ASP Rishikesh Sonavane, CPI TD Nagaraj and others pacified the BJP workers and sent them out of the gate.
Issue to be solved on Friday?
As the issue turned tense on Wednesday evening, Mangaluru AC rushed to the BC Road and held discussion with former minister B. Ramanath Rai. In the morning, the AC held a closed door meeting at the tahsildar’s office, but in the evening, he allowed the agitators to enter the meeting hall and held discussions with them also. But the agitators took the officials to task. Later, the AC has asked two days time to sort out the problem. Sources said that the AC would announce the clear stand on Indira Canteen compound wall issue on friday.

95-year-old woman's body found in underground tank in Vadodara
Vadodara: The body of a 95-year-old woman, Ujam Parmar, was discovered in the underground water tank of her residence in the Tarsali area on Wednesday morning, nearly 10 days after she had gone missing.
Police believe Parmar accidentally fell into the tank on December 21 and drowned. Her family had filed a missing person's complaint on December 22 but had no leads despite extensive inquiries and CCTV footage reviews.
The tragic discovery was made after the family noticed a foul smell in their tap water and called for the tank to be cleaned. Inspector Vivek Patel of the special operations group confirmed that the postmortem report indicated drowning as the cause of death, ruling out any foul play.
Parmar, a resident of Navjivan Society, lived with her daughter, a government school teacher. Her two sons and daughter had been actively searching for her since her disappearance.
