Dakshina Kannada district Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Sonawane on Tuesday praised the dedicated services rendered by Home Guards and hoped their services will be recognised by society and the government.
Speaking after inaugurating the All-India Home Guards Day, organised by the DK unit of Home Guards here, Mr. Sonawane said Home Guards work round-the-clock during the need of the hour. They join hands with the police force during bandobast and other duties.
Presiding over the programme, District Home Guards Commandant Murali Mohan Choontharu traced the history of Home Guards in DK, saying it was established in 1963. He said Home Guards have been rendering selfless service for the benefit of society and join hands with the police force during various duties, including elections, natural calamities etc.
Dr. Choontharu hoped many more personnel would join the Home Guards in the coming days.
On the occasion, Subrahmanya unit officer (in-charge) Harishchandra, Bantwal unit officer Aithappa, Mulki unit officer (in-charge) Lokesh, Puttur unit section leader Jagannath, Mangaluru unit sergeant Sunil Kumar, Panambur unit section leader Jagadish were felicitated.
DK Home Guards Deputy Commandant Ramesh and others were present.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
