Press Trust of India


BANGALORE, Jun 10: Karnataka Government on Tuesday ordered an inquiry into the police firing in Karnataka's Haveri town which left a person dead and four others injured.

A compensation of Rs two lakh to the family of the farmer who was killed, Rs 50,000 to those injured seriously and Rs 25,000 to those who suffered minor injuries was also announced by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa.

"Belgaum Division Regional Commissioner Amita Prasad will conduct a probe into the incident and submit a report to the government within ten days," Yeddyurappa told reporters after reviewing the situation at a high level meeting here.

Yeddyurappa, who was visibly upset over the shocking incident that occurred 12 days after his government assumed office, said it was a "planned conspiracy to taint the image of the government".

Meanwhile, the state government deployed DGP Srikumar to Haveri to take steps to maintain law and order.

    It clearly shows a planned conspiracy against the government by other parties ". Actually there is no shortage of fertilizer in the state, it's only created by Congress & JD-S to embarras the Chief Minister who took oath in the name of Farmers. For sure Cong & JD-S never like any developement of the state , only like to create their own votebanks by using these methods.
