Karnataka: Give three percent reservation to nomadic tribes, KSNTM panel urges
Bengaluru: A delegation of the Karnataka State Nomadic and Tribals Mahasabha (KSNTM), led by its president B.L. Hanumanthappa, has urged Justice H. Nagmohan Das, who heads the commission to review the implementation of internal reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs).
The delegation requested the commission to consider the recommendations made by the Balkrishna Renuke Commission (2004) for nomadic tribes and the Bhiku Ramji Idate Commission that was formed in 2014, to compile a catalogue of denotified, nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, as reported by Deccan Herald on Friday.
Hanumanthappa stressed that the KSNTM has demanded the Justice Nagmohan Das Commission to allocate at least 3 percent reservation specifically for nomadic tribes in the state.
He told DH that these commissions were formed by the union government to know about the status of nomadic tribes. “They have made elaborate recommendations,” he added.

UP: five men get life imprisonment for trying to kill toll booth employees
Bareilly: A court here on Friday sentenced five people to life imprisonment for assaulting and trying to kill toll booth employees in 2019.
Sunny, Sumit, Vinod Maurya, Rajat Gangwar and Ankit were sentenced for trying to kill toll booth employees on the Bareilly-Nainital highway in Bhojipura by running a car over them in 2019, District Government Advocate Digambar Singh said.
Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court) Ravi Kumar Diwakar also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on each of the convicts.
While delivering the verdict, the judge said not paying the road tax would weaken the economic condition of the nation and by their act, the convicts challenged the authority of the state government.
Such people who create an atmosphere of fear by committing such incidents in public places are also enemies of the general public, hence such criminals should be given strict punishment, the judge said.
