Mangaluru, Nov 17: B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, Minority and Wakf has directed officials to issue remaining LPG connections under the Anila Bhagya scheme in Dakshina Kannada by November-end.

During a review meeting at Circuit House, officials from Food and Civil Supplies Department said of the 1,586 beneficiaries identified in the district it had been planned to give LPG connections to 1,349 beneficiaries from the below poverty line category in the first phase. So far, connections were issued to 581 beneficiaries.

Mr. Khan directed officials to complete the process by the end of November.

When officials pointed to the demand for green gram as against tur dal at ration shops in the district, the Minister asked officials to make necessary changes and provide food grains that the region’s people needed.

The Minister said they are yet to finalise talks with private telecom service providers to set up systems for operation of point of sale machines in ration shops in areas in DK with poor internet connectivity.

There are about 25 areas having this problem. The Minister asked officials to act against ration shops that have deliberately not installed point of sale machines by falsely stating poor internet connection.

Mr. Khan said construction of Haj bhavan will be taken up after finalisation of land in Adyar in the outskirts of the city.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Action will be taken against private hospitals that were violating government norms and charging exorbitant fees charges for the treatment of Covid-19 patients and suspects, said Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.

The government has taken action against private hospitals in Bengaluru and the same parameters would be adopted other cities, he said speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Friday.

Jarkiholi said that the government had noticed that patients were levied exorbitant charges for Covid-19 treatment. People too have complaints regarding the huge bills by these private hospitals and have demanded action.

“We are not under the obligation of any private hospital and stringent action will be taken against all erring and violating government tariffs. They will have to treat patients and follow the tariffs fixed,” he stated.

Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences District Hospital had been directed to install CCTV cameras in Covid-19 wards and install monitors at reception to facilitate monitoring of treatment and condition of the wards. BIMS management was taken to task for not following the directive and have been given a deadline to install CCTV cameras, Jarkiholi informed.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: People volunteering as civil police wardens with the city police department will not receive any remuneration, an official said on Wednesday.

“We wish to clarify the rumours floating on social media and confirm that the volunteers helping local police as civil police wardens in enforcement of anti-Covid measures will not be paid any remuneration,” said an official.

On Tuesday, Bengaluru city police commissioner Bhaskar Rao had urged interested people to volunteer for the department, indicating how strained the department has been amid Covid.

“Inviting physically fit and service minded residents of Bengaluru, both men and women, between the age of 18-45 to volunteer as civil police wardens,” said Rao.

The department is offering a choice of the police division, jurisdiction and the shifts one wants to choose to be a civil police warden.

Additional Commissioner of Police Hemant Nimbalkar said volunteers are a welcome support to the police in their field duty but should not be left alone.

“Volunteers are a support to the police in the field and shall not work standalone. They shall be attached with duty police as assistance. A jacket and a cap should be provided to them,” said Nimbalkar.

He reminded that the safety of the volunteers is the responsibility of the policemen.

Many city policemen have been infected with the virus and quarantined while more than six have succumbed.

“It is a tough time for all policemen irrespective of the rank. Four hundred and fifty active cases across the state and the loss of six lives speak volumes about their involvement in the war against Covid,” said Director General of Police Praveen Sood recently.

He expressed hope that the difficult times will pass, saying all the members of the police department are a family.
