Honnavar, Feb 15: A white cow, which is revered as god by a section of local Hindus, turned violent and tried to gore a two-and-half-year-old child at Navilagon village in Honnavar taluk of Daishina Kannada.

The eight-year-old sister of the child managed to rescue the latter. They are the children of Kiran Shet, an LIC adviser and jeweller. The incident which took place on Tuesday was captured by a CC camera attached to their father’s jewellery shop. The footage is now going viral on social media.

Arati (8) was playing with her youngest brother Kartik in front of her house. Kartik was sitting on a tricycle and Arati was pushing it when a cow came running towards them.

As the cow appeared to go for the child, Arati picked him up and ran towards a corner. The cow followed, its horns coming tantalisingly close to the boy. Kartik seemed to be slipping but Arati held onto him tightly and quickly turned towards the wall, her back to the cow. The angry cow tried to gore her and she screamed.

As her family members rushed out and chased the cow, Arati took Kartik inside and secured him. “I had no time to think. At that moment, my only aim was to save my brother. Thank God, he escaped unhurt,” Arati said. “Had Aarati not applied her mind, Kartik’s life would have been in danger,” said their mother Asha after watching CCTV footage.

She should be held responsible for this heinous crime. She should undergo trial for this crime. No bail should be given for going against the wish of Gau Matha

Qualification for being a Bhakt is brainless action and 100% foolishness. They will treat cow as sacred life and girls as worthless thing

If gau mata wanted to kill or harm that boy then nobody should stop that. Will you stop or go against God's decision??? Should punish those people who stop gau maata's decision.

Is that girl an anti-national? She gave priority to the life of a child than to the desire of a gau maata!

Mangaluru, Apr 6: City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha has directed coastal security personnel to block the boat service near Talapady after reports of Kasarogod people using boats to cross over to Dakshina Kannada via Talapady river emerged, Dakshina Kannada District in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said here on Monday.

Following the rise in Coronavirus cases in the neighbouring Kasargod district, District Commissioner Sindhu Roopesh ordered closure of borders with Kerala and totally suspended vehicular movement, including for medical emergencies.

However, now the people living in Talapady and surrounding areas allege that the government has failed to monitor people using boats to cross over to Dakshina Kannada via Talapady river.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
