Protest against ‘encroachment’

Karwar: Activists of Hindu Jagarana Vedike went on rampage in Kurmagad island (Tortoise Island) near Karwar against the alleged “illegal” encroachment of the island by a person from a Chikmagalur. The island is situated about four km from Karwar and situated in the Arabian Sea. The vedike alleged that a person from outside the district had manipulated the land records and had illegally taken the island into his control with help of some officials. The island is visited by thousands of the Hindu devotees during the jatra day of Narasimha temple in the island once in a year. — Correspondent
