dear vidhyadar, i think you should go for more analysis about all the parties. Please check all other parties about dynasty rules. Karnatak- Yediyurappa & son & Shoba, Devegowda & Sons, In punjab Badal & son etc. If you need more we can point out more. Each and every party have dynasty rulers. So why you point out only one party. If you are against dynasty rule point out all. If you are against corruption point out all. Vyapam scam, chiiki scam, karnatak mine scam, denotification scam, Food scam, punjab drug scam, DDA Scam, modi UK scam, kingfisher scam, external affairs humanitarian scam, corporate peanlty waiver scam etc

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.

Udupi, Jun 28: The Padubidri police have booked cases against two patients of Novel Coronavirus for not revealing their primary contacts and hiding their travel history.

According to DHO Sudhirchandra Sooda, two siblings from Hejamadi in Padubidri had tested positive for COVID-19 recently. After shifting to the hospital, when the officials asked them about their primary contacts and travel history, the patients furnished false information.

When the officials collected information from various sources, they realised that the duo had travelled to Bantwal, Kasargod, Ullal and other places in Dakshina Kannada, said Dr Sooda. Hence, the district administration decided to file cases against them, he added.
