U T Khader bats for law amendment to ban bars in residential areas

Manglauru, Nov 28: The issue of bars within residential areas was so far mere a question of right or wrong rather than anything to do with the law. However, U T Khader, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, has now suggested bringing an amendment to the law to prevent bars functioning in residential areas.

On December 27, residents of Talapady Narlapadil (which falls under Mangaluru constituency represented by Mr Khader) on the outskirts of the city staged a protest opposing the opening of a bar in their locality. Mr Khader, who visited the protesters, said that government should find legal way to prevent opening bars in residential areas.

"After the Supreme Court's order, the bars situated beside the highway are being shifted to residential areas. There is a need for a tough law to check the setting up of bars in residential areas,” he said.

He also promised the protesters that the issue of opening a bar at Talapady Narlapadil would be brought to the notice of the Excise Minister and Excise Department.

Karnataka Gadinadu Rakshana Vedike President Siddeeq Talapady said that while issuing the permit, the gram panchayat has not consulted the villagers.

"If the bar is allowed to open, then we will hold a protest by locking Talapady gram panchayat," he warned.

Taluk Panchayat member Surekha Chandrahas said the opening of a bar at Narla will pose inconvenience to the residents, especially women.

Totaly rubbish. Bars should be in residential areas. If it is not in residential area then where it should be. You people wants bars in INDUSTRIAL AREA.! Anyway I am sure about one thing, govt wont do complete ban. Because they are getting more revenue from bars because of me and my barmates

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Veteran actor and comedian, Rajagopal, who was known for his outstanding mimicry skills in Sandalwood breathed his last on the night of July 1, that is yesterday. He was one of the favourite comedians among the audiences and is said to have been suffering from kidney and asthma problems.

He passed away at his residence in Bangalore.

The well-recognised comedian has worked in more than 600 movies in his career, along with Tamil movies. The actor was active in the film industry since 1983 and had acted with many stars like Vishnuvardhan, Ambareesh, Prabhakar among others. He is also known for mimicking actress Kalpana's voice very well.

Recently, he also had claimed that new directors, new producers in the Kannada film industry had not been calling veterans to play parts in their movies and preferring fresh talent. He also had been going through a financial crisis due to the lockdown. Rajagopal has also worked in TV serials for some time in his career.  He has acted in super hit movies like, ‘Real Police’, ‘Sadakaru’, ‘Goosi Gang’, ‘Super Police’, and others as well.

The lockdown has seen the demise of many South Indian stars. Chiranjeevi Sarja too passed away last month, leaving the industry in shock. Now, a famous comedian's demise has also saddened the industry further.
