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.

Why to blame God for the stupidity of people?

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.

In most of the cases, ads misleading people.

Parents always should take doctor's advice.

God is so cruel in some cases

Ill fate.. they didnt seek doctor's advise?

Shocking.. Rest in peace

English medium sections in 1,000 govt schools in Karnataka this year

News Network

May 28,2020

Bengaluru, May 28: A thousand government schools in Karnataka are set to get Englishmedium sections from this academic year (2020-21). These institutions will function in both English and Kannada medium.

The decision was taken by primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar and officials of the education department at a meeting on Wednesday.

Suresh Kumar said dualmedium will help improve the standard of schools and enable their development. The poorest of the poor spend almost 40% of their income on their children’s education in private schools. With the introduction of dual-medium, the government hopes such families will be able to save their earnings, he said. These schools will impart lessons in both English and Kannada. They will also provide textbooks in both languages.

‘Kannada must for all’

The meeting reviewed implementation of the compulsory Kannada Language Learning Act, 2015. Officials from the Kannada Development Authority were present at the meeting who claimed that some private schools have failed to implement the Act properly.

“Action will be taken against such institutions. Every child studying in schools across the state must learn Kannada,” Kumar said at the meeting.

Congress protest: D K Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah detained in Bengaluru

News Network

July 28,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
