Tumti Iron Ore Mines, the rival company of Obulapuram Mining Company, has termed Minister G Janardhan Reddy a looter and a thief for his alleged involvement in illegal mining by encroaching the Karnataka- Andhra Pradesh border area.
At a press conference on Thursday, Tapal Ganesh and T Ekambaram of Tumti Mines alleged that a recent apex court order had not given a clean chit to the Reddy brothers. “If the court has given a clean chit, how can it ask for the alteration of 100 to 150 meter border into the Karnataka side?” Ganesh asked.
He alleged that after the Supreme Court order, the Reddy brothers not only misled the media but also made wrong interpretation of the court order.

Dr Virupakshi, who is attending former minister Halappa at the Mcgann Hospital, said that his condition was stable on Tuesday.
"As he is suffering from multi-organ diseases, we cannot take a risk. Hence, we have decided to shift him to Victoria Hospital in Bangalore on Wednesday," he said.
Virupakshi told reporters at the Mcgann Hospital on Tuesday that Halappa has been treated for asthma, diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism. He has been an asthma and diabetes patient for about 10 years, so the blood vessels and heart might be damaged.
His condition may further aggravate due to stress. We have no angiogram facility, hence we will get a second opinion from the experts in Bangalore, he explained.
On the former minister's refusal to give a blood sample, Mcgann Hospital medical superintendent Dr SK Mahendrappa said that CID personnel had submitted a list demanding certain extracts. When he refused to give a blood sample, CID officer Yogappa struck off this demand from the list. If the doctors require a blood sample for a DNA test, we will take it in the presence of the magistrate, he added.

 Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy accused Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa of neglecting the plight of the people in floodhit North Karnataka region.
“The Chief Minister visits various places in Bangalore city such as Lalbagh, Cubbon Park and sites of Metro Rail construction but has completely forgotten the flood-hit region where the people are still living in pathetic condition. This is the proof that Yeddyurappa’s concern for the ruralites is only cosmetic,” Kumaraswamy told presspersons here on Sunday.
He lambasting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for utterly failing to build even a single house on its own. He pointed out that it were various mutts and voluntary organisations that had built the houses and the government had just handed over the keys to the people.

First, there were elephants and other wild animals wandering out of the forests and encroaching land inhabited by humans.
Now, it is the turn of the tigers. The big cats and wild dogs are frequently sighted at the villages falling in the Omkar forest range here. The increasing number of tigers, boars and leopards entering these villages and the attacks on domestic livestock have increased the fear among the people of nearby Nanjangud.
Kurubarahundi, Hanchipura, Kootanahalli, Hoapura, Devarajashettypura, Indiranagar, Parvathipura and other villages are the most affected due to the frequent tiger visits.
The tigers wander into the villages in the evenings and in the wee hours. One of the tigers attacked a buffalo owned by extaluk panchayat member MV Prabhuswamy of Nagalapura village. |

Naxal activities has surfaced again in Bukadibailu, a remote village in Nemmar gram panchayat in Sringeri taluk.
Police recovered six banners and pamphlets from various places in Sringeri on Wednesday.
The pamphlets flayed Home Minister P Chidambaram and Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa for trying to curb the people's movement. It also condemned Pejawar seer for his ‘so-called concern for the poor.’ Another pamphlet pays tribute to recently-killed Vasantha and pledged to continue the struggle till the goal is achieved. Interestingly, they have not given a call to boycott the polls, instead they throw light on the ‘deficiency’ in the system. The pamphlets tell the state home minister not to be complacent about curbing the people's movement as naxals have the strength to tackle police threat. Naxals have made demands like upgradation of the hospital at Bukadibailu and a permanent doctor, bus service to villages, bridges to roads and distribution of pattas. |
