Tense situation in BC Road under control amid tight police security
Bantwal: A tense situation arose in BC Road on Monday morning following provocative statements by Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Sharan Pumpwell and former Bantwal Municipality Chairman Muhammad Sharif. However, by the afternoon, the situation was brought under control with a heavy police presence deployed in the area.
The tension escalated when Sangh Parivar workers, responding to the Sangh Parivar's 'BC Road Chalo' call, gathered in front of the Rakteshwari temple and attempted to march while shouting slogans against Muhammad Sharif. A scuffle broke out between the protestors and police, who had set up barricades to prevent the march. Eventually, the police managed to disperse the crowd.
Several Sangh Parivar leaders, including Sharan Pumpwell, Puneeth Attavar, and Prasad Kumar Rai Bantwal, were present during the protest. Additional security has been provided under the supervision of IGP Amit Singh, District SP Yatish N., AC Harshvardhan, and Tehsildar Archana Bhat, who were present at the scene to ensure law and order. The authorities have deployed additional police personnel and reinforced security around BC Road.
Meanwhile, a case has been registered against Muhammad Sharif and Municipality Member Hasainar at the Bantwal Police Station for making provocative statements, and they are reportedly currently in police custody for questioning. Cases have also been filed against Sharan Pumpwell and Puneeth Attavar at the Mangaluru CEN Crime Police Station.

CM Yogi invites Singapore's Global Indian Schools to Lucknow
Singapore (PTI): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has invited Singapore-based Global India International School (GIIS) group to set up its model in Lucknow.
The visiting Chief Minister appreciated GIIS as a school modelled on the values of Excellence and Skills upgradation.
He invited the school group to set up its model in Lucknow during his address to the Indian diaspora.
Yogi observed this and encouraged GIIS to continue on this path and bring this excellence to Lucknow.
"We are humbled by his invitation and will definitely take steps in the right direction," said Atul Temurnikar, chairman and co-founder of the Global Schools Group, the parent of GIIS and 64 international campuses across major Asian capital cities as well as the United Kingdom.
"GIIS has always been an innovative organisation where the student is the focal point. Our goal is to bring the best education to every child, and an up-and-coming Uttar Pradesh can be our next step in that direction,” Temurnikar told PTI on Tuesday.
The Group, which has 64 international campuses, hosted the Chief Minister Adityanath at its One World International School campus for dialogue and interaction with the Indian diaspora on Monday evening.
Temurnikar noted that it was a meaningful dialogue on the state’s expanding investment landscape after hosting 1,500 Indians based in Singapore at the interaction.
“Uttar Pradesh has a promising future under his leadership, which is evident from the state’s strong focus on infrastructure, industry, and governance. It is presenting significant opportunities for global collaboration, he said.
“The success of this evening (interaction) reflects the growing interest within the Indian diaspora in contributing to India’s economic growth and long-term development,” added Temurnikar.
