Spearheaded by the city based entrepreneur and educationist SM Rasheed Haji, Dakshina Kannada Muslim Association' (DKMA) was formally inaugurated by Mangaluru Khazi Twaka Ahmed Musliyar at town hall in the city on Monday. Udupi Khazi Bekal Ibrahim Musliyar offered dua.

Hailing the formation of DKMA, health minister UT Khader said that he would hold discussion with the chief minister to convert it into a government scheme in order to reach out to the poor and needy Muslim families.

He also exhorted upon the effluent section among Muslims to join hands with the DKMA to help the helpless families in case of emergencies and tragedies.

Presiding over the event, Mr Rasheed Haji, who is also the founder president of the DKMA, said that a majority of Muslims in Dakshina Kannada  belong to middle and poor classes and in case of death of their breadwinners the families undergo lot of difficulties and financial constraints. This organisation aims at helping such families.

Rs 2 lakh for a member's kin

He said that in case of the sudden demise of the breadwinner a beneficiary family, the DKMA will donate Rs 2 lakh by collecting Rs 1,000 from 200 members.

The families of only those who become members of DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. Besides they will be eligible to get a free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte, he said.

As a special gesture the DKMA will be donating Rs 2 lakh to the family of Safwan, who died in a hospital in the city after being stabbed by miscreants a few days ago in Thokkottu, he added.

Mr Rasheed Haji revealed that the inspiration for the formation of DKMA was an organisation which donated Rs 8 lakh for the family of a deceased, collecting Rs 80 from 10,000 people. Former minister BA Mohideen, Mangaluru North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava and others were present.

Very good move by S.M.Rashid haji,I hope & pray it long last. The
similar organizations are still in existance, i.e. Central committee
with different kind of services.The condition laid before the muslim public that those who become the member of DKMA only
get benefit is bit confusing.Hope that will be solved meaningfully.

Now the needy will get less donations and moreover surprised to note that there are no hanafi members and would like to know is this something to do like the Beary community as this should not be named DK muslim association as there are hanfai`s also in the district who have conrtibuted hugely towards the community.

Bengaluru, Apr 24: Karnataka is likely to start Convalescent Plasma Therapy for COVID-19 patients, who are critical, from tomorrow, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar said here on on Friday. "We have already got approval for Convalescent Plasma Therapy.

There is no need for any special permission for it....when I was in BMC (Bangalore Medical College) I spoke to We may probably start it for the first patient from tomorrow itself. The donor has also agreed," Sudhakar said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the convalescent Plasma Therapy was only for patients who are critical, in Intensive Care Units or on ventilator. According to the latest update, five COVID-19 patients are in ICUs in the state.

After attending video conferencing by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan with health and medical education Ministers of all states, Sudhakar said the Minister lauded the good practices adopted by Karnataka in its fight against COVID-19 and asked to share the same with other states.

Responding to a question, he made it clear that COVID-19 is something that was not going to end by May 3 or by May end and like other viruses, would continue to exist. Sudhakar, who is leading the government's efforts against COVID-19 in Bengaluru and is in charge of the state war room, said many people are treating corona as a social stigma, which was not right.

There was no reason to get frightened about it as the infection can be cured, he said. "We have to take precautions so that it doesn't spread further....like fever, cold and cough- corona also can be cured... 97% people it can be cured, those with comorbidity and those above 60 years have to take some precautions. We have to bring in certain changes in our lifestyle and maintain social distancing," he added.

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.
