Udupi, Jun 29: BJP leaders and MP on Saturday, June 29 complained to the DC and SP that cattle thefts are occurring widely in the coast and the government instead of arresting cattle thieves is registering false cases against cattle protectors and suppressing Hindu organization activists.

They urged to install CC cameras in all the junctions in the district and the commissioner and urged DCC level police officials should watch it. They also urged to close illegal slaughterhouses in the district immediately.

“There should be awareness against animal sacrifices before Bakrid and those should be prevented before they occur. Vehicles should be inspected mandatorily on Agumbe gate 1 and other boundaries and CC Cameras should be installed in junctions. Action should be taken to prevent incidents such as the one that occurred in Hiriadka police station last year,” they stated in the petition which has 22 points.

Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje, Udupi MLA K Raghupathi Bhat, Vidhan Parishad opposition leader Kota Srinivas Poojary, BJP district president Mattar Rathnaker Hegde, VHP and Bajrang Dal’s Sunil K R, Mahesh Bylur and others together submitted the petition.
