Hundreds of cows are being stolen everyday; cops punishing cow protectors: Shobha

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka BJP general secretary and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has held chief minister H D Kumaraswamy-led state government for the continued theft of cows in different parts of the state.

"Every day hundreds of cow theft cases are being reported from across the state, especially Bengaluru, Udupi and Chikkmagaluru districts. Anti-social elements, armed with lethal weapons, are taking away cattle from villages in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts. Cows belonging to Udupi Krishna temple are being stolen. The police have, however, remained mute spectators," she told reporters here.

Though the Centre amended the Motor Vehicles Act in 2015, banning transportation of cattle in goods vehicles, the rules are being violated blatantly.

"Cattle are being transported in small vehicles by concealing them in gunny bags. “It’s the most inhuman thing (cattle transportation). Strangely, the police book cases against those who try to protect these animals and the actual culprits are getting protection,” she charged.

Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy projects himself as a god-fearing person. But he appears least bothered about cow protection. “He should stop all drama and take measures to protect cattle,” she said. Shobha advised the government to set up special squads to protect cattle.

Dear Shobakka, you shgould agitate to know who are the real cow thieves and where are they supplying these.  I am 100 percent sure that 99 percent of these thieves are from sangh parivar and they transport the cows to Gujrat beef exporters owned by sanghis.   Shoba is trying to fool us and divert the issue.   She also knows the fact but doing drama.  She is following her boss in this practice.    Why dont you urgent in parliament to stop beef export and declare cow as national animal?   Why bjp is not interesting is doing so and doing drama on cow.   For them cow is sacred and should not be consumed by poor people in india and not sacred for exporting beef out of the country.    does Shoba also has any beef exporting factory in Gujarat?   May be yes.

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.
