Mangaluru, Nov 4: Young girls and women should learn martial arts such as Karate which would not only protect them from stalkers but also make them self-confident, said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

He was speaking after inaugurating a two-day Indian Karate Championship 2017 organised by Self Defence School of Indian Karate Mangalore Dojo here on Saturday.

Though he does not know much about Karate, he is aware that martial arts empower people, particularly women, against intruders and hence, it is a must for women.

Therefore, every school should promote Karate, particularly among girls, to make them self-confident. “I know Kavita Sanil [Mayor of Mangaluru] is a Karate Champion and wish every girl to become like her while facing difficult situations,” the Chief Minister said.

Mr. Siddaramaiah said that since one month, the Mayor was asking him personally as well as through Minister B. Ramanath Rai to inaugurate the event. He had another programme at Shravanabelagola in neighbouring Hassan district in connection with the Bahubali Maha Mastakabhisheka on Sunday and hence, he took time to inaugurate the programme here.

After the formal inauguration, Mr. Siddaramaiah went to the competition area and exchanged “punches” with Ms. Sanil as well as the children participating in the championship. Later, he unveiled the trophies of the championship.

Mr. Ramanath Rai, MLAs Shakuntala Shetty, K. Abhayachandra Jain and Mohiuddin Bava, Indian Karate founding president and Shree Devi Education Trust chairman Sadananda Shetty and others were present.

Karnataka govt slammed over deaths of eight patients in Kalaburagi hospital

July 22,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Congress MLA Priyank Kharge has questioned the Karnataka government on the alleged breakdown of oxygen in the intensive care unit (ICU) at ESIC hospital in Kalaburagi, saying he had got complaints that eight persons who were on ventilators had died.

He asked the government if it is "deliberately" hiding something about the patients that were admitted in ESIC.

"I have got complaints that eight people who were on ventilators are dead in ESIC Kalaburagi because there was oxygen breakdown in ICU. ESIC has not been admitting patients as the issue has not been resolved. Nobody is confirming or denying it. Is the Government deliberately hiding something?" he asked.
Kharge also accused the government of not having adequate facilities to combat COVID-19 in different parts of the state.

"I hope I am wrong, but if it is a fact, this ascertains that the administration has lost control over Corona pandemic in the district. No addition testing centre. No beds are available. PPE Kits and medical waste is thrown in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS)," he added.

According to the Union Health Ministry, there are 67420 COVID-19 cases in the state.

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.
