ನ್ಯಾಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಟ: ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಮಹಿಳೆಯ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿ

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು: ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಆರೋಪಿಯ ಜಾಮೀನು ಅರ್ಜಿ ವಜಾಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದರೂ, ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಇನ್ನೂ ಅವನನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಆರೋಪಿಸಿ, ಮಹಿಳೆ ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಕ್ಲಬ್ ಆಫ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರುನಲ್ಲಿ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿ ನಡೆಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಪೀಡಿತೆ ವೆಂಕಟರತ್ನ (ಹೆಸರಿನ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ) ತಮ್ಮ ಅನುಭವ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ದೇವನಹಳ್ಳಿಯ ವಕೀಲ ಸತೀಶ್ ಟಿ.ಆರ್ ಅವರ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಅತ್ಯಾಚಾರ, ಮೋಸ ಮತ್ತು ವಂಚನೆಯ ಆರೋಪದ ಮೇರೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಕರಣ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ, ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಅವನನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಲು ವಿಫಲರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಆಕ್ರೋಶ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದರು.

ಘಟನೆ ವಿವರ:
 ವೆಂಕಟರತ್ನ  2022ರಲ್ಲಿ ಸತೀಶ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, ನಂತರ ಅವರ ಮಾತುಗಳ ನಂಬಿ ತನ್ನ ಆಸ್ತಿಯ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹಸ್ತಾಂತರಿಸಿದ್ದಾಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ ವೇಳೆ, ಸತೀಶ್ ಅವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಿಕಟ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಬೆಳೆದು, ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮದುವೆಯಾಗುವುದಾಗಿ ಭರವಸೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಆದರೆ, ಮುಂದಾಗಿ ಅವರು ವಂಚನೆ ನಡೆಸಿ, ಹಣ ಮತ್ತು ಆಭರಣ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡು ದೂರ ಸರಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಅವರು ದೂರಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಕಾನೂನು ಹೋರಾಟ:
ಈ ಸಂಬಂಧ 09-12-2024ರಂದು ಬ್ಯಾಡರಹಳ್ಳಿ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಠಾಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇಸ್ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಪ್ರಕರಣ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ 789 ಆಗಿದೆ. ಜಾಮೀನು ಅರ್ಜಿ 20-01-2025ರಂದು ವಜಾ ಆದರೂ, ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಬಂಧಿಸಲು ಹಿಂಜರಿದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಆರೋಪಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಠಾಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಹಾಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸಿದಾಗ, ಠಾಣಾಧಿಕಾರಿ ವೀರಣ್ಣ ಮಗ್ಗಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಅವಮಾನಿಸಿ, ದೂರು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ನ್ಯಾಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಟ:
ವೆಂಕಟರತ್ನ ಪೊಲೀಸರ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪೊಲೀಸ್ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ, ಹಾಗೂ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಕಮಿಷನರ್‌ಗೆ ದೂರು ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಕಮಿಷನರ್ ಮಧ್ಯಪ್ರವೇಶ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ, ಪೊಲೀಸರು ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದರಿಂದಾಗಿ, ಅವರು ನಿರಂತರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಹೇರಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

“ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯ ಜಾಮೀನು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸಿದರೂ ಪೊಲೀಸರ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ದ್ವಾರ, ಸಂತ್ರಸ್ತ ಮಹಿಳೆ ನ್ಯಾಯಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೋರಾಡಬೇಕಾದ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹಿಳಾ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆ ಮತ್ತು ನ್ಯಾಯ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಜೀವಂತವಿದೆಯಾ?” ಎಂದು ಅವರು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಈ ಪ್ರಕರಣದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟೀಕರಣ ನೀಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ವೆಂಕಟರತ್ನ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸಿದರು.

Massive Loss to Dairy Farmers and Punyakoti Goshala as Mysterious Disease Claims 25 Cows

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru, January 24, 2025: In a devastating blow to dairy farmers and cattle caretakers, Punyakoti Goshala in Ramanagara district has reported the sudden death of 25 indigenous cows over the past two weeks due to a suspected outbreak of Haemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS). The disease, which remains largely undiagnosed, has raised alarms among veterinarians and livestock experts.

Punyakoti Goshala, a well-known center for indigenous cattle breeding, has been recognized with several national awards, including the Kamadhenu National Award and Gopalarathna National Award. Despite following scientific cattle management practices with expert guidance from veterinarians and research institutions, the goshala has suffered heavy losses, amounting to over ₹30 lakh.

Symptoms and Expert Findings

On January 21, six cows at the goshala showed symptoms of colic, drowsiness, and weakness, with three dying within 24-48 hours. Veterinary experts, including Dr. K.P. Ramesha (Former Head, ICAR-NDRI, Bengaluru), and local veterinarians conducted post-mortem examinations, revealing signs of rumen acidosis and severe intestinal hemorrhage. Samples sent to the Institute of Animal Health and Veterinary Biologicals (IAH & VB), Hebbal, Bengaluru tested positive for urea/ammonia but were negative for other toxins.

Experts, including Dr. Sridhar Bhat, suspect Haemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS), a fatal disease affecting adult dairy cattle. The syndrome leads to sudden intestinal hemorrhages, blood clot formations, and death within hours. Similar cases have been reported in Thirthahalli, Kodiahalli (Chitradurga), and among local farmers in Ramanagara district.

Impact on Dairy Industry & Farmers

The outbreak has raised concerns over the survival of indigenous cattle breeds, financial hardships for farmers, and the potential decline in organic A2 milk production. With no clear diagnosis or preventive measures in place, farmers fear further losses, exacerbating economic distress and potentially leading to increased farmer suicides.

Urgent Demands to Government

Addressing the press at the Bengaluru Press Club, R. Siddesh Kumar, Organizing Secretary, VAPS Akshaya Foundation Trust, Punyakoti Goshala, along with trust members, called for urgent intervention from the Government of Karnataka and Government of India. The key demands include:

1. Formation of an expert committee to diagnose, monitor, and control the spread of the disease.


2. Immediate compensation for farmers and gaushalas affected by cattle deaths.


3. Enhanced research and surveys to identify the root cause of such obscure diseases.


4. Creation of a permanent advisory body for livestock sector improvement.


5. Allocation of ₹500 crore in special funds to compensate losses and improve indigenous cattle breeding.



The goshala trustees, veterinarians, and farmers are urging swift action to prevent further loss of cattle and protect the livelihoods of dairy farmers. With HBS emerging as a pressing issue in Karnataka, experts stress the need for immediate research and policy measures to safeguard India’s indigenous cattle population.

Nine-Year Documentary on Frogs Premieres in Bengaluru: “Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs”

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bengaluru, India – February 8, 2025: A remarkable nine-year journey into the hidden world of frogs has culminated in the highly anticipated premiere of Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs. Directed by Suhas Premkumar and produced by Raj Gore and Suhas Premkumar, this groundbreaking documentary sheds light on the vital role of frogs in our ecosystem and the urgent need for their conservation.

Set in the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich biodiversity, the film captures the delicate balance of life that unfolds during the monsoon season. Through stunning visuals and compelling storytelling, Little Planet highlights the lives of frogs, from the calls of the Malabar gliding frog to the rhythmic movements of the dancing frogs, portraying them as bio-indicators—essential markers of environmental health.

Speaking about his journey, Director Suhas Premkumar shared, “The Western Ghats have been a part of me since childhood, but only through filming did I truly grasp the fragility of its ecosystem. Frogs, though small, carry the weight of our environment on their tiny shoulders. This film is my love letter to the Western Ghats and a plea to protect its smallest inhabitants.”

The making of Little Planet was a challenging feat, requiring perseverance and dedication over nearly a decade. Co-producer Raj Gore emphasized the film’s broader message: “This project is about more than frogs—it’s about resilience, collaboration, and hope. Suhas’s commitment over nine years is inspiring, and I am proud to have been part of this journey. It’s time we listen to the frogs before it’s too late.”

Frogs, often overlooked in conservation efforts, face severe threats due to deforestation, habitat loss, and climate change. Through Little Planet, the filmmakers aim to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect these creatures and their rapidly diminishing habitats.

The documentary will have its exclusive premiere on March 2, 2025, from 3:00 to 5:30 PM at the MARC Auditorium, MAHE Campus, Bengaluru. The team has expressed deep gratitude to Prof. Madhu Veeraraghavan (Pro-VC, MAHE Bengaluru), Dr. Raghavendra Prabhu (Deputy Registrar), Dr. Arindam Das (Director, Srishti Manipal), and Mr. Basawaraj Kupposad (Deputy Director, General Services, MAHE Bengaluru) for their support in making this event possible.

With Little Planet: A Tale of Frogs, the filmmakers hope to ignite a movement—one that encourages viewers to appreciate and protect the world’s smallest yet most significant creatures. As Suhas Premkumar puts it, “If this film touches even one heart or inspires someone to take action for nature, these nine years will have been worth it.”
