Mangaluru, Jul 26: The Dakshina Kannada district unit of Aam Aadmi Party has decided to contest the next Mangaluru City Corporation election. The office bearers of the AAP on Wednesday announced at a press meet that the party would field candidates in all 60 wards of the MCC with an intention to “govern” the future ‘smart city’ and taking it back to the olden days of greenery, grace, grandeur and glory along with modernising it.

Rajendra Kumar, an office bearer of AAP, said that his party was eager to address the age-old problems of the city. “There are garbage, stink and diseases everywhere. Roads not asphalted or concretised for decades. Those asphalted/concretised ones lost their surface in just few weeks due to contractor-corporator greed and corruption. Drains are not done despite big promises, proving hazardous to commuters. Communal tensions increasing,” he said and asserted that the civic body needs an overhaul.

“Governments after governments increase taxes and introduce new ones burdening the common man, but do not provide basic amenities to the people. As if that was not enough, the peaceful co-existence of people of different faiths and castes is increasingly being compromised by sowing the seeds of communal discord and disharmony”

He said that AAP will field 60 honest and caring citizen of Mangaluru to be your representatives in the City Corporation. And they will bring change. Complete change to gain back past glory of the city, which was once peaceful, wise, enterprising and naturally wealthy region.

He recalled that it was in Mangaluru the first public meeting of AAP outside Delhi was held in February 2013, well before the first election success AAP achieved in Delhi in November 2013.

“The party is now pleased to offer a true alternative from all the corrupt and communal political parties, and to unite all Mangalureans as one strong, intelligent community, again to achieve self-sustenance and total development by keeping the interests of its people and environment well protected at all times,” he said.

Jnanasagar Rai, Abdul Lateef, Kabir Katipalla, Swibert D’souza, Arjun Mascarenhas were present at the press meet.

Bengaluru, Jul 7: There seems no impact of Covid-19 on kharif crop sowing in Karnataka with the current year actually being ahead of previous years, according to an official here on Monday.

"In agriculture, as far as sowing is concerned, there is no impact of COVID-19," Agriculture Commissioner Brijesh Kumar Dikshit told IANS. One of the reasons, according to Dikshit, is that people in rural areas are aware, but not scared of the pandemic.

"In rural India, coronavirus is there. People are aware, not scared. They are taking precautions, but don't have any phobia," he said.

Another reason was that by June the number of infections in Karnataka was not as high as other states, when a lot of sowing was done, he said.

By the end of June, Karnataka saw 15,242 Covid-19 cases. Of that, 7,074 were active.

The sowing is ahead of previous year as it's mostly dependent on weather. "It's ahead of previous years. Agriculture is directed by weather and rains had been slightly earlier this year," he said.

According to Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre, at 185 mm the state received 14 mm less rain in June against the normal 199 mm. "It's like a normal year, or slightly a good year," he said.

Some crops will be sown in the last fortnight of July and few more will extend up to August 15. "The last two weeks will be critical and on July 31 we should be able to tell whether we are short or ahead," he said.

According to preliminary indications, the Commissioner said the area under agriculture is increasing this year, which could also be because that labourers might have come back.
