Hubballi, Aug 28: Good times have begun for Hubballi's businessman Hanumantha Reddy as he purchased two cars belonging to liquor baron Vijay Mallya, at Rs 1.58 lakh through an online auction. The original cost of those cars were Rs 53 lakh, when Vijay Mallya purchased them years ago.

He paid Rs 40,000 for a 2002 Hyundai Sonata (MH 01 DA 7227), while the 2003 Hyundai Acord 2.4 AT (MH 01 DA 1235) was purchased at Rs one lakh. Remaining amount was paid as taxes.

The two cars were put on online auctioning by United Spirits Company in January after the liquor baron failed to repay the loans taken from various banks. Hanumantha, who has a hobby of collecting second hand cars, bid for the car online purchased it in May. Now they have been delivered to him. While one of the cars came from Bengaluru, the second car was delivered to him from Mumbai.

Both the cars are said to be in good condition, and with news of him purchasing Mallya's car spreading like a wildfire in the city, there has been a demand for those cars now. “People are asking me to resell those cars and they are ready to pay higher price than what I paid for them,” he said.

He said people are ready to pay Rs 2.5 lakh for the Hyundai Sonata, which is golden colour and the second car is currently fetching him Rs 4.5 lakh. However, he has not yet made up his mind to sell these cars.

Bidding for his villa is different from bidding for his cars - People will think in a different way to buy a villa if priced low and not even 10 % of the loan can be recovered

When the Owners of such Fleet of Cars is the infamous Mallya how come such demands for Cars at such exorbitant Prices are placed and Villa and other Estate NO ONE is coming ahead to bid ???How come such Money is collected /pocketed by some one other than Banks ??Courts MUST direct such Money collected to repay the outstanding Debts of the Owners and NEVER be pocketed as PRIZE for some other Owner

Bengaluru, Jul 1: The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert and forecasted heavy rains for three coastal districts and 12 more in the south interior Karnataka region, an official said on Tuesday afternoon.

"Thunderstorm with lightning is likely to occur at isolated places over south interior Karnataka from Tuesday to Wednesday," said a Met official.

For Bengaluru city, the Met department has forecast a generally cloudy sky with light rain for the next three days.

Coastal Karnataka -- Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts have been issued a yellow alert for the next two days with thundershowers and gusty winds.

Winds blowing at speed of 40-50 km per hour are expected on the coast and the Met department warned fishermen against venturing into the sea.

Meanwhile, heavy showers on Sunday night in Vijayapura district gave rise to flash floods in the Doni river and Sogali stream.

An overflowing Doni river submerged the Talikote - Hadaginal bridge, a remnant from the colonial era, and also submerged some agricultural lands. Only recently, these agricultural lands were sown with toor dal plants.

Similarly, many SSLC students also struggled to cross the bridge to reach their examination centres on Monday.

Many houses were also flooded due to the rainfall at Nalatwad and Talikote taluk. Muddebihal, Basavana Bagewadi and Sindagi taluks also witnessed heavy rainfall.

A 40-year-old farmer from Dharwad district was washed away in the Tuppari Halla stream, which is prone to flood during the monsoon season.

Likewise, a truck carrying cotton also got washed away in a stream in Yadgir district.

"There is an offshore trough and a circulation, because of which rain will continue in the coastal area. Only Malnad has not got sufficient rain this year. Probably after two days, Malnad may get some rains," Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) Director Srinivas Reddy said. Otherwise, entire state got normal rainfall, said Reddy, though it is not active over Malnad.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: No private hospital in Karnataka can turn away a patient without attending to him or her, irrespective of the Coronavirus status, an official has said.

"Private medical establishments shall not deny treatment and admission to any patient approaching the establishment irrespective of the fact that such patient may or may not be suffering from Covid-19," an official from the state Health and Family Welfare Department said on Wednesday.

Likewise, no private hospital can insist on a patient for a Covid-19 test report, said the official invoking the Disaster Management Act.

"The establishments also cannot insist for Covid test report," he said, directing all private hospitals to strictly abide by their responsibilities.

According to the department, it is the duty of every private hospital to provide first aid and take lifesaving steps when any patient approaches it.

"It is the duty of every private medical establishment to provide first aid and take lifesaving measures to stabilise the patient," he said.

The department also invoked statutes from Karnataka Medical Establishments Act 2017, under sections 11 and 11 (A) to drive home the message.

The directives assume significance at a time when several cases of private hospitals denying admissions and fleecing patients across the state have emerged.

"It has been noticed that some of the private hospitals are refusing treatment and admission to emergency patients, causing distress and this has resulted in complications, leading to death in certain cases," said the official.

The district authorities have been directed to take action on the erring hospitals as the department reiterated the responsibilities of private medical establishments.
