Mangaluru, Nov 4: Veteran Kannada novelist and advocate of Sangh Parivar’s Hindutva S L Bhyrappa was on Saturday honoured with the lifetime achievement award for his immense contributions towards ‘The Idea of Bharat’ at the Mangaluru Literary Festival organised by Mangaluru Literary Foundation at TMA Pai International Convention Centre, here.

Speaking on the occasion, the Saraswati Samman awardee said an Indian work will be one where there is a reflection of the whole nation. The writer will need to do a thorough research and have a close understanding of the lifestyle of people in different parts of the country, he said.

Mr. Bhyrappa said all his works were reflection of the whole country. “While in some works you find it substantially, there are works where you see in a subtle way,” he said.

While expressing his distaste for writers ignoring north Indians and disregarding Hindi and Sanskrit, Mr. Bhyrappa said: “No one will accept such works.”

While stating that the idea of ‘Akhand Bharat’ was in his soul, Mr. Bhyrappa said that extensive travel across the country and spending time in villages has helped to realise that people were bound by one common culture. “Our practices might be different from one region to another, but culturally it’s one culture that is seen across,” he said.

While expressing his appreciation for the way students in Sri Rama School in Kalladka in Bantwal were being taught, Mr. Bhyrappa gave away the cheque he received as a part of the award for the midday meals of the school.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.

Bengaluru, April 3: Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda has written to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan stating that he has communicated in writing to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to make arrangements for the passing of vehicles related to medical facilities and essential goods between Mangaluru and Kasargod.

"What made me write this letter is the pain and anguish I experienced when BM Farookhji, the national working president of JDS and K Krishnan Kutty, MLA and a member of your Cabinet and member of JDS, a coalition partner of your government brought to my notice the inhuman and inappropriate action on part of the authorities of Karnataka to block the interstate highway between Mangaluru and Kasargod, bringing the traffic movements between the two states and particularly to Kasargod district having a sizeable population of Kannadigas to a grinding halt," Gowda wrote in the letter.

"I immediately wrote a letter to Yeddiyurappaji, the Chief Minister of Karnataka to make arrangements to permit goods movement and the passage of ambulances and other vehicles for any emergency. But authorities of Karnataka government appears to be very adamant despite the assurance given before the High Court," it added.

Gowda said that the situation is very grim since he learnt that four to five patients died for want of medical facilities since the ambulances ferrying the patients were denied permission to cross the border, to avail treatment from the hospitals at Mangaluru.

He also condemned the Karnataka government for denying access to medical facilities to people in Kerala.

"I very strongly condemn the attitude of the BJP government in Karnataka denying access to people from Kerala to avail medical facilities on emergency and also the movement of essential goods for the survival of the people and deprivation of such emergency services amounts to violation of human rights and opposed to all norms of humanity and humanitarian considerations," the letter read.
Gowda said he will take up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"I take this opportunity to assure you that I will take up this issue with the Prime Minister who had assured while imposing 21 days of lockdown that the supply of essential commodities will be maintained and hospital facilities will be kept open round the clock so as to prevent any untoward incident," he stated.
