Idgah Row: ‘Let them produce appropriate documents before court’: BBMP Chief

BBMP chief commissioner Tushar Girinath said that Idgah ground dispute is taking twists and turns. Officially, it’s a playground. The policy is in possession. However, some are arguing that it is theirs, and that they should prove it by producing appropriate documents before the court.
Earlier, a person had gone to court saying that the fields were ours. The Waqf Board has said that the Idgah Ground is ours. He has challenged on what grounds the issue is being addressed.
We get a Supreme Court order: it is not clear on what grounds the Idgah grounds are said to be ours. The decision of the Supreme Court will be finalized with the advice of the legal entity, he said.
Appeal of Hindu Organizations: It is at the discretion of the Joint Commissioner to grant permission to the request of certain Hindu organizations to conduct the event on the ground. He said he would seek further advice from the police if necessary.
Cholera, Dengue and Covid fears BBMP chief commissioner Tushar Girinath has ordered policy officials and staff to take immediate precautions to prevent the spread of the disease.
In the wake of the spread of epidemics and the rise of Covid, Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has convened a review meeting with Virtual and issued several important instructions to the authorities.
Water quality monitoring of all borewells and clean drinking water units (RO plants) in all sectors of the BBMP should be collected and sent to the laboratory of the Water Board. In this case, if the water is not potable, such things should be stopped immediately. Policy authorities must take measures to maintain cleanliness in hotels, street vendors and cut fruits. At the meeting, he said the issue should be spread among citizens through posters about the spread of cholera and dengue.
Covid infection rates are slowly increasing in the city, increasing the level of covid test and raising awareness among citizens about mandatory mask wear. In order to prevent the spread of dengue, a survey should be carried out in the respective ward area to identify and destroy the larvae.
