Miscreant hoists saffron flag in restricted place atop Baba Budengiri: Video goes viral
It's not restricted place: SP
Chikmagaluru, December 25: A person who had come to have darshan of Datta Padukas during Datta Jayanthi programme organised by the District Administration at Bababudangiri in the district on Saturday, hoisted a saffron flag at a place identified as restricted place on the premises of Bababudengiri and video of which has now gone viral.
The Datta Jayanthi programme was held peacefully on Saturday. But in the evening, a person said to be transgender wearing white churidar, hoisted the saffron flag in the restricted place at Bababudengiri. At this time, devotees in saffron attires celebrated in jubilation.
These scenes were recorded in a mobile and posted in social media. As the video has gone viral in social media, people expressed their anger against the act.
Sangha Pariwar people have been trying to disturb peace in the district. The district administration has taken all precautionary measures during Datta Jayanthi. Upset over this, Sangh Pariwar people have tried to disturb the peace through their people.
During Datta Jayanthi programme, a devotee hoisted the saffron flag on the premises of Datta Peetha. But this place is not a restricted place. It's a common issue that miscreants hoist flags on the premises. As the police have provided tight police security in the restricted place, no untoward incidents were reported. Datta Jayanthi programme was peaceful. A transgender from North Karnataka has done this. Since the place is not a restricted place, the police have registered any case against it.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
