Bengaluru doesn’t need more industries; time to shift to Tier-II cities like Mangaluru: HDK

Mangaluru, Aug 29: Stating that the capital of Karnataka has already reached the saturation level of industrialisation, chief minister H D Kumaraswamy has vowed to take necessary steps to set up more industries in Tier-II cities like Mangaluru.

“It is time to impose restrictions on setting up of new industries in Bengaluru as the city is facing too much pressure. My intention is to incentivise industries to shift to Tier-II cities,” the CM was quoted as saying by news agencies.

Kumaraswamy, who completes 100 days in office on August 30, said there is a lot of difference between the JD(S)-BJP coalition government 12 years ago, and the present one. “While they are doing their job criticising the government as an opposition party, I was disheartened by discouragement coming from unexpected quarters. But I will ensure the government is stable and completes its term,” he added.

On the confusion over nationalised banks initially agreeing to waive the interest component on farm loans and backing off recently, Kumaraswamy said he will not make banks wait for four years to reimburse the amount, and would do so by July next.

Please do not turn Mangalore into industry jungle.  We face water problem regularly, more industries make it worst. Pls leave Mangalore healthy.

Bengaluru, Feb 22: Karnataka legislative assembly speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri has issued a notification banning entry of journalists in the Legislators House.

"Electronic media and print media cannot enter the Legislators House any time," the notification issued by the Speaker's office read.

The notification which was issued on February 18 said, "The legislators come to Legislators House from their constituencies during the assembly session. It is their private time when they stay there. When journalists come to Legislators House to meet them, it's an invasion of their privacy."

"Arrangements will be made for journalists to speak to MLAs outside the gate. No journalist or camera person will be allowed inside the gate," the notification added.

The Legislators House is located near the Vidhan Soudha, the state legislative assembly.

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.
