Society should save the lives of innocent Akshatas by not producing Kartiks: GIO

Mangaluru, Feb 22: Expressing shock over the coldblooded murder of a 19-year-old BSc student by her 24-year-old classmate at Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district, Girls Islamic Organization (GIO) has exhorted the people to ponder over the ways to avert recurrence of such crimes of passion in future.

Akshata K, a student of Nehru Memorial College, Sullia was stabbed seven times on the road while returning from the college on Tuesday evening by her classmate Kartik for not accepting him as her boyfriend. She breathed her last while being taken to Mangaluru for treatment. Police have managed to arrest Kartik.

In a release issued here, Shahnaz Zainab, Dakshina Kannada district unit president of GIO, said the society should not consider the case just as a sporadic incident of crime of passion by a jilted lover. 

“We should think about the role of society in creating such a jilted lover who ruthlessly murdered a teenage girl just for turning down his proposal. The murder of Akshata should lead to a debate on the current social system that produced many such Kartiks,” she said. 

Pointing out the deteriorating moral values in the society, free intermingling between men and women, and mass media’s practice of treating woman as commodity, she said that mere punishing a pervert like Kartik will not solve the issue.

“Unless the society is morally uplifted and steps are taken to prevent the youth from turning into Kartiks, the lives of innocent girls like Akshata will not be safe,” she said.

Media portraying school time love is like must have, essential thing in students' life. If they are not getting girl for being lover (infatuation), they may go for any extreme and boys will think its normal. So should stop this kind of mentality in films and tv shows. Then it will get corrected automatically

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
