Karnataka’s home minister has announced an anti-communal wing will be set up within the police department in Mangaluru to stop moral policing. The move aims to create an environment of communal harmony. The squad will be raised in police departments across the state if successful. The minister has set a deadline of 15 August for the police department to eradicate drug issues in the coastal district. The Congress-led government will recommend compensation in all seven cases of murders with communal motives.
