Urdu name from Bhatkal TMC building removed after Uttara Kannada DC issues order citing rules
DC met representatives of various organisations before issuing order
Uttara Kannada Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan on Thursday ordered the removal of Urdu name from Bhatkal's Town Municipal Council (TMC) building after meeting locals and officials here at the mini Vidhan Soudha in Bhatkal.
The DC issued the order citing rules and government regulations of using languages on government buildings.
Before issuing the order, the DC met Councillors of Town Municipal Council, Representatives of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem and the protesting Sangh Parivar backed organizations at the Inspection Bungalow.
During the three separate meetings, members of Sangh Parivar backed organizations got into heated arguments with the DC over delay in removal of the name even after three days after they registered their protests.
Members of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem contested that the name should not be removed and added that similar case has also been reported in Kalaburagi where the name of Municipal of Council was written in Urdu on the building.
The DC however, cited various laws and statutes adding that the use of Urdu as third language on a government building was not legal.
He issued the order addressed to thr TMC Chief Officer of Bhatkal, who later removed the name from the building amidst tight security and police deployment.

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.
