If Anant Kumar was alive the state wouldn't be in this situation: Basanagouda Yatnal on flood relief
Bengaluru: Basanagouda Yatnal on Thursday continued lashing centre and his party men for leaving Karnataka out in cold after being severely hit by floods as the state is yet to get any aid from the centre, months after being hit by floods.
Yatnal on Thursday slammed his party men while speaking to reporters in city. Yatnal said “Three MPs of the state are ministers in union cabinet, yet nobody has the guts to walk up to the PM and seek financial aid for the state in the wake of floods. If Anant Kumar was alive today the state wouldn’t be in such a situation”.
“Even I have served as MP for 10 years. I put pressure on the centre when there was Vajapayee govt and get my work has done. Jagdish Shettar and Prahlad Joshi are from north Karnataka, the region most severely hit by floods. But they are not acting even when they are ministers. If they can take a stand we can all support them in getting flood relief” Yatnal said.

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
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.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
