The Hindu
Government has failed in curbing drug menace, say protesters.
Police used tear gas and water canon on Tuesday to disperse the agitating workers and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) – youth wing of the BJP – in Chandigarh, as they marched to ‘gherao’ the official residence of Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh against alleged ‘failure’ of the Congress government in curbing drug menace. Led by State BJYM chief Bhanu Pratap Rana, the activists started their march from the parade ground at sector 17 raising slogans against the government, accusing it of failing to rein in the drug menace. As protesters marched towards the Chief Minister’s residence, they were stopped at the barricades by the police. The police said tear gas and water cannons were used after the protesters attempted to break the barricades. Many of them were detained and released later.
Highlighting the tasks undertaken by Archaeology Department, Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu said the focus was mainly on reconstructing human past through scientific methods, establishing site museums, and collaborating with domestic and international laboratories for scientific interpretation of cultural materials.

Mangaluru City South MLA D. Vedavyas Kamath said on Thursday that the Congress Government’s “anti-Hindu mindset” is clearly exposed in the case registered against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for his speech in a college function at Puttur on January 12, and also in the petition by Udupi District Congress legal cell asking Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to take action against Udupi Deputy Commissioner T.K.
