Modi does nothing to instill confidence among victims: DCM Parameshwar
Kodagu disaster
Bengaluru, August 24: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi who conducted aerial survey of Kerala’s devastation could have diverted his flight towards Kodagu district. Forget visiting the state. Even he did nothing to console and instill confidence among Kodagu victims”, Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, the DCM said that Prime Minister Modi had conducted aerial survey in Kerala. But he did not speak a word about the flood and natural disaster in Kodagu and other parts of the state. His step-mother attitude was not good for a federal system, he said.
A report on rain, flood, landslides and losses would be prepared and submitted to the centre shortly and sought financial assistance. The state government was committed to rebuild Kodagu district. Steps would be taken to construct roads, bridges and rehabilitation for the distressed people, he said.
Not misused
Relief materials were not misused. Due to shortage of space in Kodagu, the relief materials were stored in Mysuru and they would be shifted to Kodagu shortly, he said.
All police stations in the state have sufficient arms. In spite of it, the department has considered the CAG report seriously and steps would be taken on priority. He has directed the authorities to submit a report soon and he would personally verify it and solve the problem, he said.
“The Chief Minister would be appealed to issue a circular to avoid felicitation to the CM and the ministers and contribute that amount to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund”.

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
