Ashok who washed away in stream not traced even after 8 days
Chikmagaluru, July 18: Labourer Ashok who was washed away in a stream around 8 days ago was not yet traced. As there was no clue about the youth, NDRF team has called off its search operation. Now, the local divers have continued their searching for the body.
It is said that Ashok swept away along with his motorbike while riding the bike on the Bastihalla bridge at Kyogre in Koppa taluk in the district a week ago. Though the motorbike was traced in the stream, Ashok was not yet traced. Later, the district administration summoned NDRF team to search the body of Ashok. As the NDRF team did not get any clue about him, it has called off its search operation on Saturday.
But Kyogre villagers with the help of Balehole village divers have started the search operation once again from Sunday. The local people have collected donation to provide food, shelter and payment for the divers and they expressed anger against the district administration for its negligence.
MLA visits Ashok house
MLA TD Rajegowda visited the family members of Ashok and consoled them. He said that as he was in the Assembly Session, he could not visit the place. He also said that he would discuss with the deputy commissioner on summoning another team of divers from Mangaluru. He would also speak to the Chief Minister and get the compensation to the family. A proposal would also be submitted to the government to construct a new bridge, he said.
“Balehole diver Bhaskar has been trying to trace the body of Ashok. But the district administration has failed even to give food and minimum payment to the diver. Every day, the local people collect donations and provide food and honorarium”.

Delhi High Court withdraws judicial work from District Judge after viral video of misconduct
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has withdrawn judicial duties from District Judge Aman Pratap Singh, currently serving as District Judge 1 in South West, Dwarka.
The decision was made during a full court meeting last week, following concerns over the judge's indiscipline, low case disposal rate, and failure to adhere to court schedules.
An official order issued by the High Court Registrar General on September 19 confirmed the withdrawal of Singh's judicial work with immediate effect. Sources indicate that a video of the judge behaving inappropriately in the courtroom, which went viral on social media, contributed to the decision.
In the video of the court proceedings which was circulated, the judge can be seen standing up from his chair and yelling while addressing the court staff and the counsel of an accused.
