Mangaluru, Sep 6: Continuing tirade against Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah, sidelined Congress veteran B Janardhana Poojary on Tuesday held the former responsible for the the Supreme Court's direction to the state government to release 15,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu every day.

Addressing reporters here, he said the negligence by the state government in filing a proper affidavit led to this situation. “The chief minister?has wasted time by convening an all-party meeting and a meeting of experts. The decision to file an affidavit needs common sense and not an expert advice. The chief minister, being an advocate himself, has committed an act of ignorance. He must have gone through the affidavit,” he said.

Mr Poojary demanded the resignation of Major and Medium Irrigation Minister M. B. Patil for “his failure to present the State's stand properly before the Supreme Court in the Cauvery row.”

Mr. Poojary said the Chief Minister should ask Mr. Patil to resign for his conduct. “Do not try to protect such Ministers,” he said. He rebuked the CM for allotting some important portfolios to “undeserving legislators.”

Mr Poojary also questioned why the contract for irrigation works are being given to the people outside Karnataka. He said there is no water in Cauvery belt and there is a possibility of releasing water to Tamil Nadu from rivers in the coastal region. This will be a blow to the farmers in the region, he stated.

Due to Yettinahole project, Dakshina Kannada will become a barren land. I have been warning the state government on the adverse effects of thge project. Though the high command has asked the chief minister to speak to him on the issue, he has not done so till now, he said. Responding to a query, he said he will support the protests over the Cauvery issue, but not the bandh.

Bengaluru, Apr 12: The Karnataka government is studying in-depth the consequences of the possible relaxation of lockdown norms after April 14 and plans to come out with a clear roadmap in a day or two, a key Minister said on Sunday.

Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar, who is in charge of all matters related to COVID-19, told PTI that the pros and cons of any decision that the Government intends to take is being looked at in detail.

"We are trying to understand how the situation would be of any action that we intend to take. We need to foresee the repercussions or results of our action. That we have to keep it in mind and make a decision. After-effects of the decisions we intend to take, that is more important, he said. You will have clarity (on the possible relaxation of lockdown norms) in a day or two. For everything (government decisions) we will give the reasoning for what action we would like to take; with the reasoning, we will give a decision," the Minister added.

Government sources said some relaxation in liquor sales, stopped during the lock-down period, is likely after the ongoing 21-day national clampdown ends on April 14. Twelve of the state's 30 districts remain free from the COVID-19 pandemic. Till Saturday, Karnataka reported 215 COVID-19 positive cases, including six deaths and 39 discharges.

Dubai, Apr 14: Around 2,500 Indians have approached Indian missions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) seeking help to be flown home during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, top diplomats have said.

The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Indian Consulate in Dubai together have received requests from "a little more than 1,000 individuals" while the latter has received an additional request from an employer who has laid-off around 1,000 Indian workers, reports Gulf News on Monday.

According to the Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor, the missions have not been bombarded with mass requests from the people who wish to take an immediate flight home unlike widespread reports on social media.

Most of the individuals who have expressed their interest to return home are visitors and those who lost their jobs, he told Gulf News.

Consul General of India in Dubai, Vipul said his mission had received nearly 1000 requests via email and phone from people who want to return home.

"A majority of them are visit visa holders. On Sunday, we got information about another large group of around 1,000 Indian workers who have lost jobs. The employer has got in touch to know the options to send them back home as early as possible," he told Gulf News.

However, the diplomatic heads refuted unverified reports that claim tens of thousands of Indians were scrambling to fly home during the pandemic.

They added that the missions have been aiding hundreds of workers, who have been left in the lurch by their employers, with provisions.

The Indian government had said that flight services cannot be resumed during the lockdown period, which has now been extended till May 3.
