Youth can change things because of new ideas and opportunities: DGR
Mangaluru: Today's youth can change things because of their new ideas, thoughts, and new ways of doing things, said district minister Dinesh Gundu Rao. Rao was addressing 750 youths from nearly 10 countries, who are part of the three-day 'Global Youth Summit 2025', an international conference that started on Wednesday. The first-of-its-kind conference is hosted by the State NSS Cell, department of youth empowerment and sports, govt of Karnataka, in collaboration with Yenepoya (Deemed to be University). He said that the conference is focusing on the issues concerning the youth, the challenges that the youth are facing today, and the issues that they are confronting. "There are so many things happening around the world. Whether it is in Africa, Asia, Europe, or America, every country has controversial issues as well as many interesting developments. For the youth today, there are definitely a lot of opportunities for them to learn and grow," he noted. The minister asked youths to think and take action on how they can cut across barriers to bring in solidarity. "All must come together, and it is about solidarity. It is how we can bring people together, how we can think in a way that benefits not only ourselves but also the world," he said. He asked the youth to focus on and raise discussions about environmental civil rights, transgender rights, women's empowerment, human rights, and women's rights. "In many countries, political movements and democracies are in danger, with authoritarian regimes taking over," he said. During his address, the minister also highlighted growing health concerns among youth, linking lifestyle choices in a digitised world to rising instances of diabetes, blood pressure, mental stress, and other ailments. "Health issues among youngsters are concerning. It is due to lifestyle, and we see the onset of so many diseases. Concentration levels are going down, and there are poor communication skills. Youth are suffering from mental stress. All need to take care of their mental and physical health," he told the participants.

Kannada Actress's Family Challenges Prolonged Custody In Karnataka High Court Despite Court-Approved Release
The mother of Kannada film actress Ranya Rao has approached the Karnataka High Court through a habeas corpus petition, questioning the legal basis for her daughter's ongoing imprisonment in a major gold trafficking case. Despite receiving court approval for release, the actress remains behind bars due to overlapping legal proceedings. Rao received authorization for release on May 20 from the Special Court for Economic Offences, but her freedom has been blocked by additional charges filed under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (Cofeposa). This separate legal framework allows authorities to maintain custody of individuals suspected of smuggling activities that threaten foreign exchange conservation. The actress was apprehended at Bengaluru airport on March 3 following allegations of attempting to transport 14.8 kilograms of gold from Dubai. According to official reports, a comprehensive physical examination revealed gold bars strategically hidden around her body using medical bandages and tissues, particularly around her waist and leg areas. Investigators also discovered additional gold pieces concealed within her footwear and clothing pockets. The confiscated precious metal, confirmed to be 24-carat quality, carried an estimated value exceeding Rs 12.56 crore. Legal proceedings have been initiated against Rao under both the Customs Act and the Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act. During recent court proceedings, Additional Solicitor General Aravind Kamath informed the court that formal objections had been submitted regarding the case. The court has scheduled the next hearing for June 18. The Special Court for Economic Offences had granted release to both Rao and co-accused Tarun Kondaru Raju last month, requiring each to provide two guarantors and post a Rs 2 lakh security bond. The release conditions included restrictions on international travel and prohibitions against repeating similar offenses. Justice Vishwanath C Gowdar approved the release after the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence failed to file charges within the required timeframe. However, the Cofeposa legislation enables authorities to maintain preventive detention for individuals suspected of engaging in smuggling operations or activities that could harm foreign exchange stability, effectively overriding the earlier bail decision. This legal mechanism has resulted in Rao's continued incarceration despite the court's initial approval for her release.
