Udupi, Apr 10: Karnataka BJP secretary and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has accused the chief minister Siddaramaiah-led government of misusing administrative machinery.

"The government officials were removing the BJP's symbol and saffron flags even from private buildings across Udupi and Bagalkot districts and painting them with black colour," she said after receiving rice at the residence of Shivakumar at Gangasandra as part of Mushti Akki Abhiyana.

She said that the party gave tickets based on surveys.

"I am now serving as an MP and I haven't sought the party ticket for the Assembly polls," she said.

Three women figured in the BJP's first list and more women would figure in the next lists, she said.

"There are many contenders in several Assembly segments which has led to disappointment. The party will suitably reward those who didn't get the tickets. Leaders should forget differences and work to ensure the party's victory," she said.

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.
