Home Minister G. Parameshwara has said an anti-communal wing will be set up shortly in Mangaluru Police Commissionerate to look at effectively addressing moral policing, and also other incidents that disturb communal harmony in the coastal region.
Restoring peace in the State’s coast is the top-most priority of the Karnataka government, Mr. Parameshwara said. The Home Minister also said a proposal will be sent to the State Government for awarding compensation to family members of six persons, including 18-year-old Masood and 22-year-old Mohammed Fazil, who were murdered for communal reasons.
