Mangaluru, Nov 5: Kavita Sanil, the sitting Mayor of Mangaluru, who entered the karate competition fray after a gap of nine years, clinched gold on the concluding day of the Indian Karate Championship here on Sunday.

Ms. Sanil defeated emerging champion Nisha Nayak 7-3 in the finals in the above 65-kg category, said a release here.

Though the scores were equal initially at 3-3, Ms. Sanil was able to beat the opponent in the subsequent rounds.

With Sunday’s victory, Ms. Sanil can compete to be a qualifier for the 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo, the release added.

Mangaluru, Mar 9: A person who arrived at the airport in Mangaluru from Dubai and was admitted to the isolation ward of a hospital with symptoms of coronavirus has gone missing, sources said.

The patient, who arrived on Sunday, was shifted to the district Wenlock hospital with a high fever and a few symptoms of coronavirus.

He reportedly argued with the hospital staff late in the night that he had not contracted the virus and left the hospital saying he will take treatment in a private hospital.

The hospital health officer called up the police and a high alert has been sounded in coastal districts to locate the person who has 'escaped' from the hospital.

Dakshina Kannada district health officer Sikandar Pasha had earlier said the patient will be kept under observation for 24 hours and will be discharged after routine tests.

The district health department on Monday lodged a complaint with the Mangaluru police station and investigation is on.
