Ullal: KSRTC conductor makes minor school girls get down midway for not carrying Aadhar cards
Ullal: A conductor of a KSRTC bus faced backlash from the public in Kumpala after he allegedly forced five young girls, who were primary school students, to disembark from the bus due to their lack of Aadhaar cards. The incident occurred on Friday and has sparked outrage in the community.
The conductor in question has been identified as Hussain Saab I Hallur. He was temporarily filling in as the conductor for the KSRTC bus route between Mangaluru and Kumpala. According to reports, he instructed the girls, who were in classes 2 and 3 at the Kumpala Government School, to pay for their bus tickets since they did not possess Aadhaar cards. As the students were unable to pay, Hussain allegedly told them to alight from the bus.

Interestingly, the five students had been regularly commuting on the same KSRTC bus, and the regular conductor had never requested them to present their Aadhaar cards before. This discrepancy meant that the girls had not brought their Aadhaar cards on that particular day. It so happened that the regular conductor was on leave on the day of the incident, leading to Hussain's involvement.
The incident has drawn condemnation from various quarters, including Gulabi, the head teacher of Kumpala Government School, who was present on the bus and witnessed the incident. She described the conductor's actions as "utterly inhuman."
Local resident Yashwanth took immediate action by reaching out to KSRTC officer Ramya, urging the authorities to address the conduct of the bus conductor and take appropriate action for his reportedly insensitive treatment of the school children during their bus journey.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
