Bengaluru, Feb 1: Close on the heels of rumours about groupism in the police stations in Bengaluru South, DCP Annamalai has transferred total 71 police personnel immediately.
This is the first time in the history of the Bengaluru police stations that the entire staff of the Kumaraswamy Layout police station was transferred.
What’s reason?
Recently, there was internal conflict between the police personnel of Kumaraswamy Layout station on various cases. Moreover, two groups of police personnel of the station clashed over a case related to a woman.
Some police personnel have alleged that ASI Renukaswamy has assaulted the woman. There was a rumour that a few police personnel have stolen the rifles and hid them in order to suspend the station officer. It was also reported in the media. After discussing with the City Police Commissioner, DCP Annamalai has transferred all the personnel, sources said.
‘Let police become pro-people’
“There were many allegations against Kumaraswamy Layout police station. If some personnel were transferred, then again it would have negative impact. So, all police personnel were transferred. Police should be pro-people”.

Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
