Lucknow, Jun 10: Kashif Jameel, younger brother of Uttar Pradesh’s popular pediatrician Dr Kafeel Khan, was shot at in Gorakhpur by unidentified miscreants on Sunday night.

Jameel, 34, is currently admitted to Star private hospital in Gorakhpur. He sustained three bullet shots--one each on his upper arm, neck and chin.

The shooting took place when Jameel was returning home. Two unidentified attackers, who were chasing him, sprayed him with bullets when he was near Gorakhnath temple, sources said.

"My brother has been shot. I always knew they would try to kill us," said Dr Kafeel Khan, who was with his brother in the hospital, taking him for a CT scan.

Their brother in law, Samar Khan said, "As of now, we have very little information ourselves. He was on his motorbike when he was shot at."

Dr Kafeel Khan, who shot to fame after the Gorakhpur’s government run BRD medical tragedy when he arranged for oxygen cylinders for children dying in the encephalitis ward with the disruption in oxygen supply last year, was soon made a villain by the Yogi Adityanath led BJP government of Uttar Pradesh and booked as one of the accused in the case.

He was sent to jail in September 2017 and has been released on bail by the high court only recently in April, after the court found no evidence to prove medical negligence on part of Dr Kafeel Khan in dispelling his duties to save the children.

He had recently volunteered to serve in the Nipah virus hit Kerala and was invited by the chief minister of Kerala to offer his services. This was later turned down, just when Dr Kafeel Khan was about to board the flight to Kerala, with some doctors in Kerala opposing Dr Kafeel Khan’s intervention.

Dammam-Mangaluru first direct repatriation flight under VBM on June 21

June 10,2020

Mangaluru, June 10: The first direct repatriation flight from Damma to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission will be operated on June 21.

Thousands of people from coastal districts of Karnataka are stranded without flights in different parts of Saudi Arabia after the announcement of covid lockdown in March this year.

Even though the government of India launched Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian expatriate through special flights, no flight was scheduled from Saudi Arabia to Mangaluru.

Several organisations had exerted pressure on the government of India and government of Karnataka to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia.

With the sole intention of helping the stranded Kannadigas, a few philanthropists in Saudi Arabia last month formed an NGO called Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum under the leadership of Zakariya Bajpe and Sheikh Expertise.

Bengaluru Mayor plans measures to deal with illegal slaughterhouses, animal waste

News Network

January 10,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 10: To deal with the problem of animal waste and illegal slaughterhouses in Bengaluru, Mayor M Gowtham Kumar held discussions with concerned departments and consultants to devise a strategy.

Speaking to ANI, Kumar said, "There are some illegal slaughterhouses in and around Bengaluru. We had a discussion with our Special Commissioner (Health) and Chief Health Officer (CHO) also to take up necessary action. We had a discussion last week also."

He also stated that a program has been framed to find illegal slaughterhouses and to shift animal waste generated every day.

"We have framed a program to find illegal slaughterhouses and design them properly. We have planned with our consultants that for the animal waste generated daily, we need four compactors to shift it either to Hoskote or another place that we have identified. We are on it", he said.

The segregation of animal waste and illegal slaughterhouses has been a continued issue in the Bengaluru civic area, a relief from which is expected after the implementation of proposed steps.
