Social unrest rising due to segregation of people into ‘them’ and ‘us’: Mohammad Kunhi
Bhatkal: Neither should anyone in society be considered as an outsider nor should a religion be considered foreign, Sadbhavana Manch state secretary Mohammad Kunhi, has said.
“Division of the members of one society into ‘them’ and ‘us’ is leading to great unrest within the society,” Kunhi said, chairing a convention of the Sadbhavana Manch at Hotel Royal Oak on Bunder Road in Bhatkal on Thursday.
“A religion is always a means for people to develop themselves as human beings, for people to strengthen their beliefs. It is, therefore, incorrect to term a religion as foreign,” he stressed.
Manch president Sathish Kumar, who made the introductory speech, also welcomed the gathering. Secretary M R Manvi was the master of ceremony. The vote of thanks was proposed by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Bhatkal president Maulana Syed Zubair S M.
Honorary president of the Manch Maulana Munawwar Peshamam, vice-president Pascal Gomes, Tanzeem general secretary Abdul Raqib M J and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind district convener Muhammed Talha Siddibapa were present at the convention.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
