Udupi, May 16: After the Bharatiya Janata Party made a clean sweep by winning all the five Assembly Constituencies in Udupi district in the 2018 State Assembly elections, the new MLAs have vowed to give priority to the development works.

K Raghupati Bhat, who defeated his classmate turned political rival Pramod Madhwaraj in Udupi Assembly Constituency, said that this election had given him a “political rebirth”.

“I will give importance to cleanliness in Udupi city, widening of the Malpe-Manipal Road and construction of a new solid waste management plant at Alevoor,” he said.

Halady Srinivas Shetty, who retained Kundapur seat, said that the programmes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and B.S. Yeddyurappa had reached the people.

“The defeat of Pramod Madhwaraj in Udupi and B. Ramanath Rai in Dakshina Kannada showed that people had a poor opinion of the administration provided by the Congress,” he said. Asked if he was an aspirant for a Ministerial berth, Mr. Shetty said: “I will do whatever the party wants me to do.”

V. Sunil Kumar, who managed to retain Karkala seat, said that his victory was a vote for development. “All BJP MLAs wanted to promote integrated development of Udupi district. This election victory is a pointer to the parliamentary elections next year. Mr. Modi’s visit helped us. I have nothing against anyone becoming a Minister,” he said.

Lalaji Mendon, who defeated former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake in Kaup, said that he would give priority to the development of constituency.

Though the Kaup was a sensitive constituency, the people had given him a lead of over 11,000 votes, he said.

B.M. Sukumar Shetty, who wrested Byndoor seat from Congress leader Gopal Poojary, said that he would focus on developing basic infrastructure facilities in Byndoor. He would give priority to solving the drinking water problem, roads and schools, he said.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.

Bengaluru, Jun 24: Karnataka Minister of Medical Education Dr K Sudhakar said on Tuesday that the directors of institutions will be held responsible if any there are any complaints and lack of facilities in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

'Since a couple of days, there are reports in media regarding the admission of COVID-19 patients, lack of hygiene and the supply of sub-standard food to patients. The country is appreciating Karnataka and Bengaluru for controlling the spread of coronavirus. This was possible due to tireless efforts from past several months and these kinds of reports emerging now cannot be tolerated," Sudhakar said.

He added, "There can be no compromise in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. It must be ensured that these kinds of complaints will not be repeated. Directors of hospitals will be held responsible if there are complaints."

The medical education minister further said that asymptomatic patients will be kept in COVID-Care Centres and if they develop symptoms in the care centres, they will be shifted to hospitals for further treatment.

"Since the COVID-19 cases are increasing, private hospitals have been roped in to treat coronavirus patients. Officials have to ensure that beds are reserved and all arrangements are made as per the government order. Guidelines will soon be issued for monitoring asymptomatic cases in COVID care centres," he added.

Karnataka on Tuesday reported 322 fresh COVID-19 positive cases and eight deaths.
According to the state health department, the total number of positive cases has mounted to 9,721 and 150 deaths. So far, 6,004 people have been discharged.

Mangaluru, Mar 9: A person who arrived at the airport in Mangaluru from Dubai and was admitted to the isolation ward of a hospital with symptoms of coronavirus has gone missing, sources said.

The patient, who arrived on Sunday, was shifted to the district Wenlock hospital with a high fever and a few symptoms of coronavirus.

He reportedly argued with the hospital staff late in the night that he had not contracted the virus and left the hospital saying he will take treatment in a private hospital.

The hospital health officer called up the police and a high alert has been sounded in coastal districts to locate the person who has 'escaped' from the hospital.

Dakshina Kannada district health officer Sikandar Pasha had earlier said the patient will be kept under observation for 24 hours and will be discharged after routine tests.

The district health department on Monday lodged a complaint with the Mangaluru police station and investigation is on.
