Forget rivers and dams; groundwater too reaching danger level in Mangaluru

May 4, 2016

Mangaluru, May 4: Water famine is worsening in Mangaluru and other parts of Dakshina Kannada district with every passing day as. Deputy Commissioner A.B. Ibrahim has appealed to the people to use water judiciously.

save He said that underground water table was also depleting in the district fast due to the high temperature. On an average, the district had been recording a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius. Open wells, borewells and tanks had been hit.

In some parts of the district the falling groundwater level has entered the danger zone. And things may worsen further if the same situation continues to prevail.

Mr. Ibrahim appealed to the people, particularly those staying on the banks of the Nethravati, not to lift water for agriculture and allow it to flow down as it was required for drinking in Mangaluru.

Kadaba water released

Meanwhile, following an order from Mr Ibrahim, water stored at Disha Hydel Power Project Dam at Koliyada Katta in Kadaba hobli of Puttur taluk was released with the expectation that it might reach Thumbe Dam from where drinking water is supplied to Mangaluru

The released water will have to traverse 71 km in the river course via the Kumaradhara and the Nethravati if it has to reach the Thumbe Dam, said Mangaluru City Corporation Commissioner H.N. Gopalakrishna.

It will have to reach 30 km down to a vented dam across Kumaradhara at Uppinangady first. This dam supplies water to Puttur town. Later, it would have to flow another 30 km down to reach AMR Hydel Power Project's dam at Shambhoor near Bantwal. If it was to reach Thumbe dam, water would have to traverse in the river course further 11 km down, the commissioner said.

The dam near Kadaba had about 2 million cubic metres (MCM) of water. One MCM of water would suffice for supplying for four days to the Mangaluru city.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians

Bengaluru organisation gets US FDA, EU nod for device that can kill COVID-19 virus

News Network

August 2,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus.

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
