Mangaluru, Apr 10: Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader has dared the Bharatiya Janata Party to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi to strictly implement cow slaughter ban across India and stop export of beef to other countries.

Speaking to media persons here on Monday, the minister said that if the BJP was really concerned about cows, let the NDA government at the Centre ban cow slaughter across the country and stop beef export. “We will also support such a move,” he added.

Mr. Khader demanded that a special team be set up to investigate the cow theft at Amrutadhara Gauhala at Kairangala in his constituency. The Congress too would support such a move. There was no need to do politics in the guise of a protest, the Minister said.

Gaushala president T.G. Rajaram Bhat, who was on fast demanding action against the cow thieves ever since the theft took place in the first week of April, is now admitted to a hospital.

The protest has been receiving support from various Sangh Parivar outfits even as Ramachandrapura Mutt seer Raghaveshwara Bharathi Swamiji too extended his support to the issue.

Responding to RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat’s reported statement that temples visited by Mr. Khader should be purified as the latter ate beef, the Minister said that such statements do not augur well.

He was brought up in an environment where following one’s own religion was taught along with giving respect to other religions, Mr. Khader noted.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
