Udupi, Nov 24: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Saha Sarkaryavaha Bhagaiah inaugurated the ‘Hindu Vaibhava’, a religio-cultural exhibition last evening as part of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Dharma Sansad being held in Udupi from 24 to 26.

Meanwhile, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), which had issued an order to all primary and high schools to make arrangements to take students to the expo, has withdrawn it after the controversy it generated. 

In its November 15 circular the DPI had asked the heads of primary and high schools to make arrangements to send their students to the exhibition because “it showcases our heritage and culture and the glory of our nation. As per the organisers, there will be over 100 stalls at the exhibition”.

Sources in the department said the directive was issued after the president of the Udupi Zilla Panchayat, Dinakar Babu, who belongs to the Bharatiya Janata Party, sent a note to the department about the exhibition.

Meanwhile, there was opposition to the circular. The district unit of the Campus Front of India, on November 22, questioned the circular and threatened a protest. Deputy Director of Public Instruction Sheshashayana on Thursday clarified that the circular was withdrawn as there was opposition to it.

Who this Dinkar Babu is?  Is he DC or Presesident and CM of Karnataka.  If he is so interested let him call all his family members for the exhibition.  Why is he trying to drag his idea in the minds of school children.   He has opposed Tipu sultan who sacrificed his life for our land.  shame on you Mr.   Try to be kannadiga first.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Karnataka government has issued a show-cause notice to 18 private hospitals for refusing to admit a 52-year-old patient with influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, who later died.

According to the notice dated on June 30, a 52-years patient named Bhawarlal Sujani died after he was denied admission by 18 private hospitals.

The patient was taken to these hospitals on Saturday and Sunday for admission on observing some ILI like symptoms. But none of these hospitals admitted in on the pretext of unavailability of bed/ventilators, read the notice.

This is a clear violation of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of KPME Registration. They should strictly adhere to the provisions under Sections 11 & 11 A of KPME Act 2017.

By denying the admission to the deceased patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the above-said act. You are liable for legal action in this regard, as per the notice.
