Church Street vendors demand an end to harassment
The street vendors of Church Street on Monday held a silent protest on the street against the alleged harassment they are facing from Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and Bengaluru City Police. The protesters later submitted a memorandum to the BBMP Joint Commissioner, East Zone with their demands. 'The rich are allowed to park their car for free on Church Street, but poor street vendors are being levied with a penalty of ₹500. This is a violation of the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act 2014,' the protesters said. They added, 'BBMP has only given us ID cards and they also gave loans to street vendors. Now why is the same BBMP harassing street vendors? Is there no space for poor street vendors in Brand Bengaluru?' The memorandum submitted by the Karnataka Pragathipara Beedi Vyaparigala Sangha said that from 15 to 20 years, 53 authorised street vendors, many of whom are women from poor families, have been selling items like clothes, fruits, plastic items, earrings etc. It also alleged that residents' associations from the locality have pressured the police to harass the vendors. The vendors also demanded that a formal order should be issued to prevent harassment of all registered Church Street vendors and all the unregistered vendors should also be included in BBMP's next survey and provided with vending certificates. They also said that Town Vending Committee (TVC) meetings should be held before making decisions affecting them. The protesters were taken into preventive custody by the police as they were walking to the BBMP and were released after three hours.

Russian woman with expired business-visa found living in Gokarna cave with kids, rescued
A 40-year-old Russian woman, identified as Nina Kutina alias Mohi, and her two young children were rescued from a remote cave in the Ramatirtha hills of Kumta taluk, Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, after living in near-complete isolation for nearly two weeks. The rescue was carried out by local police during a routine patrol on Friday, officials confirmed on Saturday. A Russian woman was found living with her two kids in an isolated cave in Karnataka's Gokarna. Also Read - 'What could go wrong?': 'The Skin Doctor' flags BBMP's chicken-rice for Bengaluru stray dogs plan Mohi, who had come to India on a business visa several years ago, had made her way from Goa to the spiritual coastal town of Gokarna, known for its deep religious and meditative roots. Drawn to Hinduism and Indian spiritual traditions, she chose to retreat into the forested hills of Gokarna with her two children, Preya (6) and Ama (4). The family had been residing inside a natural cave, surrounded by dense forest and steep terrain. Mohi had turned the cave into a spiritual haven, installing a Rudra idol and spending her days performing puja and meditation. She reportedly lived off the land, though police are still investigating how she and her children managed food and water during their time in the wilderness. It was during a post-landslide patrol that Circle Inspector Sridhar and his team noticed sarees and clothes hanging outside the cave. Intrigued and cautious, they made their way through the thick underbrush and discovered the woman and her children living in isolation.

Luckily, they were unharmed and in reasonably good health.' Authorities later discovered that Mohi's visa had expired back in 2017, and the exact duration of her stay in India remains uncertain. Police suspect she may have entered Karnataka from Goa before settling in Gokarna's forested region. After the rescue, police arranged temporary accommodation for Mohi and her children at an ashram run by a Sadhvi in Gokarna. With the assistance of a local NGO, the Russian Embassy has been contacted and official deportation procedures have been initiated. The family is expected to be moved to Bengaluru as part of the legal process. (With PTI inputs)
