Bengaluru, Aug 8: Amid the escalating tension on India-China border over the Doklam issue, the state BJP utilised its executive committee meeting on Sunday as a platform to give a call for boycott of Chinese goods and to go “swadeshi”.

Briefing reporters on the deliberations of the meeting in Bengaluru, BJP state general secretary and Lok Sabha member Shobha Karandlaje said the party was of the firm opinion that the security and interest of the nation cannot be compromised.

“Our party cadre will create awareness among the people about the problems caused by China at the border and the need to boycott Chinese goods. They will also persuade traders not to sell made-in-China goods,” she said.

Shobha said that even pooja items such as kumkum and camphor are being imported from China. “The economy of China is largely dependent on Indian markets. The BJP state executive meeting felt that we should boycott their products to teach the neighbouring country a lesson,” she said.

Shobha said the state executive meeting also felt that India should not hesitate to engage in a confrontation with China if the country’s security is threatened.

Udupi, Jun 4: Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakhar on Wednesday said that he will take up an issue before a high-powered committee on COVID-19 to find out the possibility of imposing lockdown on a particular house of the person infected with the virus instead of sealing down of entire areas.

Talking to reporters here on Tuesday after reviewing the district's prevailing COVID situation, the minister said the concept and modalities of declaring any area as containment zone has undergone changes in the last two months.

"Hitherto, we were declaring the entire area as the containment zone after detection of coronavirus positive cases. Subsequently, the area of the containment zone was decreased from the whole area to a particular street," the Minister said.

"Now, BJP MLA Raghupati Bhat has given a suggestion to seal down a particular house of the positive patient which would be taken up before the high-powered panel. The district administration concerned could supply all essential items to the particular family," he said.

He further said that the Union government has been providing all facilities to all the states to deal with the situation."

Bengaluru, May 30: Health Minister B Sriramulu banned the consumption of chewing tobacco in public places on Saturday, which is marked as World Tobacco Day. The ban would include chewing paan masala and spitting in public places.

In June 2013, the state banned the manufacture, storage, sale, or distribution of gutka and paan masala containing tobacco or nicotine as ingredients to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. On October 26, 2016, the state proscribed all kinds of chewing tobacco, containing tobacco or nicotine or both in accordance with the Supreme Court order.

Karnataka is the second state in India to ban e-cigarettes. The state also prohibited single cigarettes. Until September 2019, the state counselled 15,698 patients in tobacco cessation centres set up in private dental colleges.
