In a shocking incident, a 3-month-old girl child choked and died while being fed an instant cereal by her mother at Hosapalya village in Madgadi taluk of Ramanagara district in Karnataka on Wednesday, January 31.

According to reports, the mother had been feeding the child with Cerelac, a brand of instant cereal made by Nestlé, for past 15 days. In fact, such cereals are advised to give only after the infant crosses at least six months. 

The mother said that the child became unresponsive after a brief struggle - kicking her legs, moving her hands, and crying. The child was then taken to Magadi government hospital, where she was declared brought dead.

Sources said that the child was born around six years after her parents’ wedding. The mother had reportedly suffered miscarriages twice and her husband had spent a huge amount of money for the treatment.

It’s in fact a murder. Infants up to six months are not supposed to be given anything except breastmilk of the mother. And breastmilk is compulsory at least up to the child turns 2 years old.

"Karnataka is in a better position due to the efforts and hard work of ministers, doctors, officials and all staff. The cases have increased in Bengaluru and some other districts in last few days due to various reasons. We all have to work hard and contain the spread of virus," Dr Sudhakar told media on Saturday.

"Responsibilities related to policy formulation, preparation of guidelines, communication to media and management of war room have been assigned to me. Deputy Chief Minister Ashwath Narayan has been given the responsibility of managing COVID-19 care centres and Revenue Minister R Ashoka and Chief Minister's political secretary Vishvanath have been given the responsibility of managing private hospitals. The Chief Minister has instructed all of us to work in synergy," he said.

Dr Sudhakar said the matter of imposing lockdown in the state again was discussed in the task force meeting. "I and Deputy Chief Minister suggested that lockdown is not necessary at this stage. The Chief Minister will take a decision on this matter," he added.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
