Mangaluru, Aug 13: In spite of his busy schedule in Uttar Pradesh and other poll-bound states, Bharatiya Janata Party national president Amit Shah will pay a visit to Managluru city and its communally sensitive suburbs on August 21.

amitEven though Dakshina Kannada district unit of BJP has claimed that Mr Shah's visit would be a part of the 70th Independence Day celebrations, it appears to be an attempt to intensify the strengthening process of the saffron party in the region aiming 2018 Assembly polls.

He would also take part in a party workers' convention at Konaje, Mr Matandoor said adding that a detailed itinerary will be released once the programme schedule is finalised.

Union minister of statistics and programme implementation D V Sadananda Gowda, former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, other national and state leaders too will take part in the programme, he said.

I-Day celebrations

Bengaluru, Jun 20: Continuing with the easing of restrictions under 'Unlock 1.0', the Karnataka government on Saturday authorised local bodies to fix timing for opening of public parks other than those in the containment zones between 5 am to 9 pm.

It has also mandated adhering to all the national directives issued to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the guidelines issued by the state government in this connection.

Noting that the government has been relaxing conditions under unlock 1.0, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad, who is also the member secretary of the state disaster management authority in an order said, local bodies have been asked to set the timing between 5 am to 9 pm to open all parks that come under them and the government.

It said this would be applicable to only those parks that come outside the containment zones. Earlier in May, while relaxing the lockdown norms, the government had set 7 am to 9 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm for the opening of parks.
