Mangalore, Sep 5: Observing that Ullal police have failed to contain unsavoury incidents occurring there since some months, city police commissioner, R Hitendra, has transferred Ullal police inspector, Dharmendra, as well as police sub-inspectors from the station, Ramesh Hanapur and Satish Kumar, to the office of the commissionerate on temporary basis.

In their places, Rajendra, who hitherto was working in crime branch Suratkal, and Panambur police sub-inspector, Bharati, have been posted.

These transfers have also been made on ad hoc basis, it is gathered.

Meanwhile, state health minister, U T Khadar, said that it is clear from the incidents occurring in Ullal and surrounding areas since the last some weeks that some unseen hands are working to create chaos in the area. He said that those who are able to provide information about the culprits involved with these incidents will be rewarded, and the details of informants will be kept a guarded secret.

He also called upon police officials to convene meetings of local leaders and work to earn the trust of the people.
