MANGALURU: Home Minister G Parameshwara chaired a progress review meeting on law and order at the Mangaluru City Police Commissioner's Office on Friday.
The meeting was attended by senior officers from Mangaluru City Police and Superintendents of Police (SPs) from four districts under the Western Range: Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, and Chikkamagaluru.
Various issues were discussed, and officials were given directions to implement strict measures.
To fully dismantle the drug network, officers were asked to keep a close watch on the movements of drug peddlers and take legal action wherever necessary. Concerns were raised about the increasing number of traffic rule violations, especially involving minors under the age of 18 driving vehicles, which has led to accidents and fatalities.
Authorities were told to conduct awareness campaigns and enforcement drives to tackle this issue.
The meeting also addressed crimes against women and children, and atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The Home Minister emphasised that the accused in such cases must not escape justice. Police were instructed to present strong evidence in court to secure convictions and were reminded to treat complainants with empathy and ensure their protection.

Who is Jeanine Pirro? Trump loyalist and ex-Fox News host confirmed as top US attorney; wins Senate approval
The US Senate on Saturday confirmed Jeanine Pirro, a well-known Fox News personality and President Donald Trump loyalist, to a high-profile federal prosecutor role in Washington, DC. With a vote count of 50-45, Pirro secured confirmation as the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. Trump encouraged the Republican-controlled Senate to process his nominations during weekend sessions, following his return to the White House six months prior. Trump provisionally appointed Pirro to the role in May, continuing his pattern of selecting hosts from the conservative television network and steadfast supporters for influential governmental positions. Trump previously praised the outspoken 74-year-old former Westchester County district attorney when he nominated her, as being "in a class by herself." Who is Jeanine Pirro? Jeanine Pirro is a former judge, prosecutor, and prominent conservative television personality, best known for her outspoken commentary on Fox News. Before rising to national media fame, Pirro built a lengthy legal career in New York. She served as the district attorney of Westchester County from 1994 to 2005, becoming the first woman to hold that position. During her tenure, she established the nation's first domestic violence prosecution unit, according to the US Justice Department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Earlier in her career, she also served as a county judge. Pirro transitioned to television in the 2000s, hosting shows like Judge Jeanine Pirro (2008–2011) and Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, which ran for over a decade. She later became a co-host on Fox's popular roundtable show The Five. Her on-air segments often included inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy theories—particularly surrounding the 2020 election—which at times led to temporary removals from the network lineup. She joins a growing list of cable news figures with political roles, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, both of whom had careers at Fox. Pirro is also a published author. Her 2018 book, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, was described by The Washington Post as overly loyal to Donald Trump. Her personal life has not been without controversy. Her ex-husband, Albert Pirro, was convicted of tax evasion during her time as district attorney and later received a pardon from Trump during his presidency. Earlier, the Senate Judiciary Committee's leading Democrat, Dick Durbin, opposed Pirro's permanent appointment as US Attorney, describing her selection as a "rubber stamp for Donald Trump." Durbin referenced her role in spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Biden, AP reported. Pirro was sued by Dominion Voting Systems after she promoted false claims of election fraud on Fox News. The company accused Fox of airing defamatory statements about its role in the vote count. Fox later settled the lawsuit for around $800 million.

Ahmedabad shocker: Dholka gang sold infants to childless couples, IVF centres for Rs 3L; 7-month-old rescued
AHMEDABAD: The seven-month-old child who was kidnapped from the street in Dholka was not the first child to be targeted by the accused, Manisha Solanki, but it was the fifth such crime by her, said investigators. "Solanki and the other four accused, who were arrested in the kidnapping case, used to sell the child to childless couples or IVF centres for nearly Rs 3 lakh," said a police official. The cops are investigating if the accused had connections with the Hyderabad IVF clinic.

SP Omprakash Jat said that the five arrested included Manisha Solanki, who is a resident of Dholka and a native of Kheda; Binal Solanki, also a resident of Dholka, Jayesh Beldar, a resident of Rajkot, Mahesh Solanki, a resident of Kheda, and Siddhant Jagtap, a resident of Nasik, Maharashtra. "Jagtap purchased the child for nearly Rs 3 lakh and sold it further to be given to childless couples," said Jat. Jat said Manisha was earlier involved in four other kidnappings of such infants.

The arrest of four individuals, including two women from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, has revealed that an interstate human trafficking racket was operating in Ahmedabad. The four were arrested after the Dholka town police rescued a seven-month-old girl belonging to a roadside vendor. Cops said on Saturday that the accused had previously scanned the area before planning the abduction. "On Wednesday, at around 6.45am, two of the accused arrived on a motorcycle and abducted the child while she was asleep. The abductors then travelled to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar via Ahmedabad in a private vehicle, where they met with an associate. Cops said that until 2021, Manisha used to work in a private firm, and it was then she left her job and for the first time donated her egg at the IVF centre. She then used to travel to Hyderabad, Telangana, and Maharashtra IVF centres to donate eggs. "There she came to know that childless couples were there to buy kidnapped children and that she could get a good commission," said officials. Manisha then encountered Binal at one of the IVF centres in Dholka. Binal was also donating eggs, and they earned Rs 25,000 to 30,000 for one-time donation. The duo were joined by Beldar, who was the brother of another egg donor. Cops said that Manisha met Jagtap in Maharashtra, and it was Jagtap who purchased the child.

Canadians readying for a major battle with Trump's USA, ready for hardship over humiliation in showdown over trade war
A growing majority of Canadians are willing to suffer economically to stand firm against US President Donald Trump 's escalating trade war, according to a new poll that underscores rising frustration north of the border. In a survey released by the Angus Reid Institute, 69 percent of Canadians say they want their government to take a 'hard approach' in trade negotiations with the United States, even if it worsens relations or causes financial strain. The poll comes just days after Trump slapped 35 percent tariffs on a range of Canadian exports. While the UK, EU, and Japan opted to strike last-minute trade deals with Washington, each making steep economic concessions, Canada is choosing defiance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Credential Stuffing Attacks are on the Rise: Here's What All Businesses Need to Know TechBullion Undo 'Canadians aren't flinching,' Angus Reid said in its analysis. Just weeks ago, only 63 percent supported the hardline stance. That number has since climbed, and support for retaliatory tariffs is even more dramatic, 76 percent say they'd back Canadian tariffs even if it causes household financial hardship. Prime Minister Mark Carney , who took office earlier this year after an unexpected election win, has called for patience and unity, saying Canada won't be bullied. 95 percent of those polled say they would still support Carney even if Trump retaliates with even higher tariffs. Live Events Trump further inflamed tensions after warning it would be harder to negotiate with Canada following Ottawa's decision, along with the UK and France, to formally recognize a Palestinian state. That move, however, also appears to have wide public backing as 63 percent of Canadians say they support recognition of Palestine, even if it complicates US ties. The impact on everyday life is already visible. Canadian tourism to the US dropped by 33 percent in June compared to the same month last year, according to Forbes , marking six consecutive months of decline. Businesses are feeling the squeeze. Air Canada's profits fell sharply, and US retailers in border towns are bracing for deeper losses.
