March 1, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 1: Dr S Sudhakar Shetty, whose premium wrist watches were stolen from his home last year, met Bengaluru Police Commissioner N S Megharikh on Monday and gave the statement that he never owned a Hublot watch similar to the one worn by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

He told reporters after the meeting, “Three watches were stolen from my home in April 2015. I had lodged a complaint with the police in May 2015. I had Rolex and Shepherd's watches but never owned a Hublot. I don't know why Kumaraswamy dragged me into the controversy. His allegations are totally false and I clarified this before the police commissioner.”

He also denied having ever spoken to Kumaraswamy about the watch controversy. “Why should I speak to him about a watch that was stolen and a complaint that was lodged last year,” he asked.

Megharikh confirmed that Shetty recorded a statement on never owning a Hublot watch. He said the hunt for those who stole the watches was going on.

Neither anyone made a big hue and cry when Kumaraswamy son drove Hummer nor during his sweet heart exit.
I don't find anything wrong if someone wear genuine gifted watch.
CM caliber person will be gifted that way. No one expect that he should be gifted Titan.

Bengaluru, Jun 11: Most COVID-19 deaths in Karnataka occur when infected elderly people, those with Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) or any other symptoms delay reaching designated hospitals, a top official said.

Munish Moudgil, chief of COVID-19 War Room in the state, said most of those infected with the virus are brought to COVID-19 designated hospitals at a very late stage and recovery then becomes extremely tough.

He said about 65 per cent of those killed suffered from SARI and are aged above 60.

The death rate due to SARI is 43 per cent for those in the 40-60 age group, he said, releasing data on coronavirus deaths, to reporters.

In the same age group, the mortality due to Influenza Like Illness (ILI) was 17.4 per cent, whereas it is 11.1 per cent among people aged above 60 .

He said 25 per cent of symptomatic patients aged above 60 die due to the virus, while it was 10.7 per cent in the 40-60 age group.

The fatalities among those aged 60 is high even if they are asymptomatic, Mr Moudgil, who is secretary in the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, said.

He said the average number of days spent at these hospitals by those who recovered is about 15 days, compared to 3.5 days for those who died of the virus.

"Hence persons who are elderly and who have comorbidities or who have SARI must reach designated Covid hospitals at the earliest," Mr Moudgil said.

As of date, Karnataka has reported 69 COVID-19 deaths As many as 6,041 people have tested positive for COVID-19, including 2,862 discharges and 3,108 active cases.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.
