‘Police behave like school headmaster’While Some Cricket Lovers In Bangalore Say Police Have No Business Prohibiting Liquor In KSCA Stands, Some Think Otherwise
Shouldn’t the police focus moreon handling the terror threat toBangalore rather than playingspoilsport in IPL matches?
Police troubling common man
The police don’t have the guts to face real criminals.So they are troubling the common man. Forexample, even the traffic police are busyfinding traffic violations by drivers instead ofcontrolling such cases. The police don’t knowtheir role, and that’s the real problem. NAVEEN
The style of functioning of policecommissioner Shankar Bidari is like that of aschool headmaster. He is unaware thatBangalore is an internationally acclaimed city,where the law should be of similar standard. Hethinks moral policing is a top priority. What heis saying is that Bangaloreans who wish todrink must do so strictly at their dining rooms.KAMALAKSH SHETTY
It’s a fact that serving liquor in the stadium isprohibited as per excise rules and not as per policerules, and the police commissioner iscorrect. But what would police doif people get drunk in the clubhouse and create trouble inthe stands? There areother serious problems inthe city that needattention. B S RAGHAVENDRA
RAO
The priorities of our cops are lopsided. AfterTuesday’s terror alert, they must focus on giving adetailed report on it to the government. Focussing onalcohol consumption in the stands is a joke. Therecent Pune blast was a result of the Maharashtragovernment and police dealing with the fallout of therelease of Shah Rukh Khan’s film — priorities wherethey belong. USHA G RAO
The police should focus more on handling the terrorthreat rather than playing spoilsport in IPL matches.VIA SMS
The police are looking for non-issues todistract attention from the fact that theycan’t do their jobs. VIA SMS
The police should concentrate on checkingterrorism. I think since the police were not inthe limelight for long, they intend to be in onenow. VIA SMS
No moral policing please
The police’s job is to protect people, notperform moral policing. Wealready have
variouspolitical outfits ruining peace in the city.Why are the police behaving like them? If drinkingcreates trouble — whether in a stadium or not — whyis the government selling liquor in the first place? Infact, only a small percentage of irresponsible peoplemisbehave after drinking. The police should not ruinthe fun of the majority of people. DEEPAK RAO
The terror threat is a major issue. The police must beready to face threats to national security. A lot ofattention and preparation must go into preventingsuch attacks. IPL-related matters can be dealt with
internally. DILIP KALYANKAR
While maintaining law and order isimportant, terror threat can’t be ignored.The police must tackle bigger threats first. If
needed, the excise department can appointofficers to enforce its rules in the stadium.
TARUN K JAIN
Prevent drunken mess
The police must focus on any threat,and also ensure the
Excise Act is
followed. While totally prohibiting liquor on KSCApremises is not the answer, not allowing drinking inthe stands is vital to maintaining law and order.Although it’s only a certain section that consumesalcohol, the police are justified in curbing freedom iftheir aim is to prevent drunken mess. B N
GOVINDARAJULU
There is nothing wrong in cops giving equalimportance to terror threats and alcoholconsumption. It is their first responsibility to
maintain order. If people are allowed to drink inexcess, their behaviour will set a bad example infront of millions of TV viewers. The police won’t actunless they are forced to and with the city’s imageon the line, their aim to restrict drinking is justified.ADARSH BHARADWAJ
The police commissioner and his force must have thefull support of people, as they are the ones who areresponsible for the safety of citizens. M N KESARI
Onus is on people
Why should the police worry about drinking only inthe cricket stadium? Most wine shops in the city turninto mini-bars by night. Here, people drink rightunder the nose of officers. It highlights themisconception that the privileged can do anything —that Scotch goes scot free, while arrack is attacked.If allowed to drink in the stadium, it is the peoplewho must see that after a few sips, silence mustprevail and not violence. P A SUKUMARAN
Police are right
Liquor leads to loss of self-control andlawlessness. There are other places to chill out. Why
be a spoilsport at the stadium? The authorities areright to adhere to rules and should enforce themwithout bias. NARAYAN S BALAJI
There is a terror threat and the policecommissioner has to set a
precedent. If liquor is bannedand order maintained
inside the stadium,police can concentrateon saving more lives —
either those of players ormembers of the crowd — in
case of any eventuality. VIMALA KESARI
If violation of law happens in a place whereconsumption of liquor is prohibited by excise rules,then the police are required to take action. Thereshould be no compromise on this. SUKHOMOY PATHAK
Yes, they should handle the terror threat first. VIA SMS
Yes, the police should handle the terror threat andthe rest can come later. AMITA
The police can do multiple things. They can enforce
excise rules in the standsand at the same time focuson facing the terror threat.Also, why should liquor beserved in the stands? Sportsand alcohol don’ mix. RANGA

Liquors shouldnot be allowed forthe safety ofplayers. Somecricket fans maystart throwingbottles at players.This has
happened in the past. Maheshwari
One should watchthe match first andhave fun later.After the game isover, people cango wherever theywant and drink.Sandeep Patil
Liquor should beallowed in thestadium.Youngsters wantto have fun intheir own ways. Ithink nobody canstop them. But
they should have fun responsibly.Tejaswini
Liquor should notbe served in thestands becausepeople may startthrowing bottles.Then the placewon’t be safe forgirls too. Sudhakar
Improve thislayout nowG M Palya comes under BBMP(ward No. 83). It is an unplannedlayout. The roads are narrow too.The sites are too small for properhouses to come up. There is nospace for free movement ofpedestrians and vehicles. To addto the problem, vehicles areparked on the roadside. Even themain stretches are only 20 feetwide. Water tankers can’t enter.BBMP should rework this area.

Need bus stand: There was abus stand near BritanniaIndustries Ltd gate, next toManipal Hospital. But peoplefrom nearby areas need the busstand. It’s difficult to walk tillKodihalli bus stand every day. It’stiring for physically challengedpersons and citizens. This busstand should be rebuilt.

Repair this stretch: The stretchconnecting Old Madras Road andAyappanagar (Hoodi Main Road)
needs repair. It hasn’t seen anydevelopment for almost sixyears. There are huge potholesand heavy vehicles ply herethroughout the day.

Footage telecast in bad taste: CM
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Bangalore: Chief minister B S Yed-dyurappa and home minister V SAcharya have felt that the repeat-ed telecast of the Swami Nityanan-da scandal footage to be in bad taste.
Yeddyurappa said that he waswaiting for the investigation reporton the case from Tamil Nadu, whileAcharya said that the state gov-ernment has directed DC and SP ofRamanagaram to probe the case. Asno report has come from TamilNadu, no case has been bookedagainst the swami.
The repeated telecast of thefootage, he said does not well withthe tradition of our country. “Itdoes not adhere to our culture,”the chief minister said. Regardingthe ashram land, he said there isno law to take away private land.
“I have heard that Tamil Naduofficials have said that the act hashappened in Karnataka. The swa-mi is absconding, unless the landbelongs to the government, wecan’t seize it. If there is any com-plaint, we will take action,” thechief minister said.
“About the warning given to theswamis in TN, I am not aware. At
least we are not going to do suchthings,” he added.
