Bengaluru, Aug 2: A mere 72 hours after cancelling all nominations to boards, corporations and academies made by the previous government, chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday effected a major reshuffle of IPS officers, shunting out two Vokkaliga officers seen to be close to his predecessor HD Kumaraswamy.

BR Ravikanthe Gowda, who was seen as a trusted lieutenant of Kumaraswamy, has been shunted out of his position as joint commissioner (crime), Bengaluru. Sandeep Pa til, commissioner of police, Mangaluru City, will take his place. Gowda, who is yet to be given a posting, will be confined to the special investigation team probing the IMA scam for now. Yediyurappa has also moved out D Devaraja from his position as DCP (Central), Bengaluru. Devaraja, also seen to be close to Kumaraswamy, has been transferred out without a posting.

Kamal Pant, 1990 batch IPS officer who was previously additional director general, law and order, Bengaluru, has been brought in to head the state intelligence wing. Pant will replace B Dayanand, who has been transferred to Karnataka State Reserve Police. The 1989 batch officer Amar Kumar Pandey, ADGP, Karnataka Human Rights Commission, has been posted as ADGP, law and order, Bengaluru.

Hemant Nimbalkar, who was recently posted to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, has again been transferred, but without a posting. Nimbalkar’s MLA wife Anjali, is believed to be one of those who had been courted by the BJP to join the rebellion in Congress ranks. Chandra Shekhar, inspector general, crime investigation department (CID), will now head the ACB.

Other transfers: A Subramayeswara Rao (commissioner, Mangaluru), Chethan Singh Rathore (deputy commissioner, central division, Bengaluru), Anoop Shetty (SP, Ramanagara), KM Shantharaju (Shivamogga SP) and Hanumantharayappa (Davanagere SP).

Bengaluru, Apr 8: Karnataka government has decided to postpone its first mass marriage ('Saptapadi') scheduled for April 26 due to lockdown in force, Minister for Muzrai, Port and Fisheries Kota Srinivas Poojary said here on Tuesday.

Talking to media here, he said that the first phase is likely to be clubbed with the second phase to be held on May 24. However, it all depends upon the situation prevailing at that time.

The state government had proposed to conduct the mass marriage scheme at select Muzrai temples in two phases on April 26 and May 24. Around 2000 applications with due documents were received for mass marriage from those who wished to tie the nuptial knot.

Mangaluru, Apr 4: The mother and grandmother of the 10-month-old baby boy, under treatment at a private hospital in Deralakatte here for COVID-19 infection, tested negative.

Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the infant, who was admitted with an acute respiratory infection, was stable and there had been a good response to the treatment being given in isolation.

The child, hailing from Sajipanadu Village in Bantwal Taluk was admitted to a hospital at Deralakatte in Mangaluru for treatment on March 23 as it had developed respiratory problems. 

On March 24, the child’s condition worsened and hence his throat swabs was sent for COVID-19 testing. On March 27, reports of the tests confirmed that the child was infected with COVID-19.

Health authorities are of the view that the baby might have contracted the disease when the family travelled recently to Kasaragod in Kerala, a district identified as a hotspot for Coronavirus.
