45-year-old Farooq, the president of SDPI Neerchal unit in Kannur was hacked to death near a hotel in the city around 11 am. He was rushed to hospital, but his life could not be saved.

SDPI alleged that Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) activists were behind the murder. Police have taken Abdul Rauf, a native of Kannur, into custody in connection with the murder.

Farooq is the third person to be murdered in last four days in Kannuru district which witnessed seven murders and a death due to bomb explosion after the LDF came to power in May this year.

Out of this, five murders were spread over a period of three months. The latest three were committed in four days that too in the assembly constituency represented by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who also handles the home portfolio.

This year's wave of gory politics began on May 19, with the murder of Cherikandath Raveendran (55), a CPM worker and native of Pinarayi Puthankandam, during a victory procession after the LDF wrested the seat.

Though the CPM said that he was killed by the BJP workers, who first hurled bombs at the procession and then ran a vehicle over him, the latter refuted the allegations. BJP maintained that he was killed after suffering a fall from the vehicle, which then accidentally ran over him. However, as per police records it is a murder case.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr.CN Ashwathnarayan instructed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner Manjunatha Prasad to set up a separate high-level committee to ascertain the exact cause of coronavirus-related deaths in the state.

He spoke to reporters after a meeting with Prasad on Tuesday.

"The committee, headed by senior officials will audit the reason for the increase in death cases. Has there been a death due to treatment delay? Or are there any shortcomings in the treatment process?" the deputy chief minister said.

He pointed out that based on the report, the committee should try to correct the deficiency and reduce the death rate.

"How many beds are in which hospital? How many patients are on a ventilator? How many have gone home from the hospital? Etc. All information needs to be updated online at the moment. He suggested that this information should be made available to the public online," Ashwaththanarayana said.

Stating that some hospitals are not giving details about the number of beds correctly, he instructed the commissioners to take legal action if differences in their data are found.

He said that there is a shortage of ASHA workers in the city and it needs to be hired immediately.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 74,477 active COVID-19 cases in Karnataka and the death toll in the state is at 2,594.
