Water crisis persists despite heavy rain: MLA
Mangaluru: Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath held an emergency meeting with the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) commissioner and officials regarding various issues faced by the public in the city corporation area, including drinking water problems and disruptions caused by rain.
During the meeting, the MLA noted that despite heavy rainfall in the corporation area, the drinking water issue persists. Additionally, due to inadequate desilting of stormwater drains, rainwater is flooding into homes, causing severe hardship for the public. Moreover, those affected by the rain are not receiving any assistance from the corporation, the MLA said.
The dilapidated bridge over the stormwater drain near Ballalbagh is causing artificial flooding due to water not flowing properly, and actions need to be taken regarding this as well, he said. The legislator instructed the corporation officials to take these issues seriously, and respond promptly to the public's problems. Complaints are also being received about the mismanagement of waste disposal, he said.
MCC commissioner Ravichandra Naik and executive engineer Naresh Shenoy were present.

Bakrid celebrated with religious fervour, gaiety in city
Patna: Muslims across the city gathered on Saturday at various mosques and Eidgah in the morning, including Gandhi Maidan, to offer 'namaz' (prayers) on Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid). The mornings were filled with spiritual devotion. People hugged each other and exchanged warm greetings after offering namaz at Gandhi Maidan. After the prayers, families engaged themselves in offering 'qurbani' (sacrifice), an important ritual of this festival where specially goats are sacrificed and distributed among friends, relatives and the poor.

Eid celebrated with unity, devotion
1 2 Trichy: Across central and southern Tamil Nadu, people came together to mark Eid-al-Adha (Bakrid) with prayer, kindness, and a sense of community. From early morning, Muslims across Trichy and Madurai gathered to offer prayers, share meals, and help those in need — reflecting the spirit of sacrifice, gratitude, and togetherness that the festival stands for. More than 300 people assembled at the Eidgah grounds in Cantonment and Uzhavar Sandhai in Thennur to offer prayers around 7 am. Common prayers were also held at several mosques in areas such as Pallakarai and E. Pudur. Draped in a mosaic of hijabs — florals, pastels, deep tones — women stood shoulder to shoulder, offering heartfelt duas. From young girls mimicking elders to elderly women whispering quiet prayers, the scenes captured the emotional depth and spirit of Eid. As part of the festival, Qurbani, the sacred sacrifice of a goat, was performed. After the sacrifice, a portion of the meat is traditionally donated to the poor and needy. Families also invited friends and relatives to their homes to celebrate the occasion. The festival was marked by the exchange of sweets and delicacies, especially biryani, with neighbours and loved ones. "It's a tradition every year that our friend invites us for biryani at his place during the festival," said Sairam from Karumandapam. As Eid is a public holiday, Trichy hotels experienced a surge in demand for biryani, particularly through online food delivery platforms.
