2 boys drown in abandoned quarry
Hyderabad: An 11-year-old boy from Kapra and his eight-year-old cousin from Guntur, who went missing on Wednesday from Arundhati Nagar in Jawaharnagar, were found dead in a water-filled abandoned quarry nearby on Wednesday. Police suspect the boys drowned while playing in the water. Both did not know swimming. Durga Prasad (11) was a class III student and Subramanyam (8) was in class I. About a month ago, Durga Prasad's mother Swathi, who was abandoned by her husband, had come to live with her ailing aunt Yadamma in Arundhati Nagar Colony. A few days ago, Yadamma's daughter Anjamma, who lives in Guntur, came to visit her mother along with son Subramanyam. At around 10 am on Wednesday, Durga Prasad and Subramanyam had left home to play in the neighbourhood but did not return. After unsuccessfully searching for them in the neighbourhood, Swathi lodged a complaint with Jawaharnagar police on Thursday morning. While police were searching for the boys, their bodies surfaced in the abandoned Bandabavi quarry located in Arundhati Nagar Colony. "The quarry was abandoned about two decades ago. Half of its boundary has been fenced. The boys were not locals and they might have accidentally drowned while trying to play in the water," SI B Ramu said. The bodies have been sent for postmortem.

Coffee farmers association accuse forest dept of land grabbing
Madikeri : The Karnataka Coffee Farmers' Association accused the forest department of grabbing land from residents, which was granted to villagers many years ago. Association president Dr Durga Prasad said the farmers stopped the forest department staff from going to Kalkandur village in Somwarpet to conduct a survey of the land. This was in connection with the process of acquiring the land that was in the hands of farmers for many years for the forest. Speaking at a meeting called at the association's office in Virajpet town, he said, "We support this struggle." Before Independence, 7,500 acres of forest land was leased to private individuals. Coffee, rubber, and tea plantations were established in that area, he said, asking for a comprehensive survey of the Paisari lands in Kodagu. The Kodagu district administration should prepare a list of encroachers, he suggested. Vasant Kumar Hosamane of the district unit of the Karnataka Coffee Farmers ' Association, Hamid, district member of the farmers' association, and other members were present.
