Adequate rain compensation demand: Protesters held 'funeral' of 25 BJP MPs
Bengaluru: Condemning the Central Government's move of not giving adequate compensation to rain victims of North Karnataka, pro-Kannada organisations held a symbolic funeral of BJP Mps.
Members of Kannada organizations Saturday gathered near the Mysore Bank Circle and held a symbolic funeral of 25 MPs by using their photographs.
The total damage caused by floods is more than Rs 38,000 crore. But, the Central Government has released Rs 1,200 crore as an interim relief. This is not good, the protesters express anger.

Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
