Several leaders of Sangh Parivar including Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje, Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar, MLC Ganesh Karnik, who were among the protesters, were arrested by the police for violating the prohibitory orders.

It is learnt that the police have also booked over 500 agitators under sections 143 and 149 of IPC for the illegal protest and violation of ban orders. The timely action of the police brought the situation under control in the tense hit town.

The protest was organised by the Hindu Hitarakshana Samiti, a local umbrella body of saffron outfits to denounce the Tuesday’s attack. 28-year-old local RSS activist Sharat was attacked by a group of unidentified assailants just stone's throw away from Bantwal Town police station on Tuesday night. He is still in critical condition.

The police had repeatedly warned the Samiti against going ahead with the protest that was adjourned several times in the past due to extension of ban orders. However, the Samiti used the attack on RSS activist as a pretext to violate the ban orders.

Traffic blocked

Meanwhile, the police temporary blocked vehicles from moving towards BC Road as part of precautionary measures. Vehicles that were heading to BC Road from Mangaluru were blocked at Farangipet, while the vehicles that were coming from Kalladka were blocked at Melkar. As a result the vehicular movement on National Highway 75 has been completely disrupted.

USA buys up world’s stock of key covid drug; no other country can now buy remdesivir

coastaldigest.com web desk

July 1,2020

The United States of America has bought almost the entire world's supply of remdesivir, one of just two drugs proven to treat COVID-19.

“President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorised therapeutic for Covid-19,” said the US health and human services secretary, Alex Azar.

“To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it. The Trump administration is doing everything in our power to learn more about life-saving therapeutics for Covid-19 and secure access to these options for the American people.”

The announcement implies that no other country in the world will be able to buy remdesivir for next three months at least.

The anti-viral drug patented by the US-based Gilead biotech firm is the only one approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to treat patients with the novel coronavirus.

The Trump administration has already shown that it is prepared to outbid and outmanoeuvre all other countries to secure the medical supplies it needs for the US.

“They’ve got access to most of the drug supply [of remdesivir], so there’s nothing for Europe,” said Dr Andrew Hill, senior visiting research fellow at Liverpool University.

Remdesivir, the first drug approved by licensing authorities in the US to treat Covid-19, is made by Gilead and has been shown to help people recover faster from the disease.

The first 140,000 doses, supplied to drug trials around the world, have been used up. The Trump administration has now bought more than 500,000 doses, which is all of Gilead’s production for July and 90% of August and September.
