Mangaluru, Jul 29: The Campus Front of India (CFI) has taken a dig at Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for his silence over the suspicious death of a high school student from the latter’s home town.

15-year-old Kavya Poojary, daughter of Lokesh and Baby, residents of Devara Gudde in Kateel on the outskirts of the city, was found hanging on July 20 in the hostel room of Alva’s Education Foundation in Moodbidri where she was staying.

Even though the authorities of institution and police are treating it as a suicide case, the parents of Kavya have called it a murder and demanded a high level probe into the matter.

A delegation of CFI on Saturday visited Kavya’s house and expressed solidarity with her aggrieved parents. The delegation assured the parents that the students’ group would continue to fight for the justice.

Speaking to media persons on the occasion, Riyaz Kadambu, a CFI member, accused the DK MP of deliberately ignoring the case due to the latter’s friendship with the heads of the institution.

“Mr Kateel had threatened to set entire district on fire after a youth was murdered by his own sister and her paramour a few months ago. More than a week ago a girl from the home town of the same MP was found dead under suspicious circumstances. However, the MP did not utter a word so far,” he said.

“Kavya was also a Hindu girl. Being a self proclaimed Hindu leader, Mr Kateel must give justice her parents,” said another CFI activist.

New Delhi, Mar 26: While the humans are on lockdown and spending time with their families, animals are free and without any fear roaming around on the otherwise busy roads. From Malabar civets to large Indian bisons, animals are enjoying this time.

Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a video with the caption, "Indian bison( the gaur) goes for a street walk. The largest extant Bovine, is native to South and Southeast Asia. It can be very aggressive. Rare to see in markets."

The 8-second video shows the large animal freely walking in the market area of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka, while the few onlookers on the road get aside and watch the Bison with utmost amazement.

The videos of animals having a gala time on the roads have become common. After the video was posted online, it became a hit. The clip garnered over 3.1k views and over 100 retweets.

Twitter is amazed at the video. Have a look at the comments.

One user wrote, "Oh! We should vacate this place for them. Guess humans have stayed for too long."

Another Twitter user wrote, "That’s one thing people would follow social distancing with!"

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.
