Bengaluru, Feb 6: Congress leader and MLC C M Ibrahim on Monday took objection to identifying departed political leaders by their caste and religion while paying tribute in the Legislative Council.

Taking exception to referring Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, former MLA, as a minority leader in the obituary reference, he said it was not right to restrict social and political leaders to a particular caste and religion, as they were representatives of society.

The leaders in the two Houses of the State legislature paid rich tributes to former Assembly members Nagappa, Mukhtar Unnisa Begum, R. Narayanappa, Kumar Gowda Patil, Prahlad Remani, and U.M. Madappa.

Acknowledging the opinion of Mr. Ibrahim, Council Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy said his suggestions would be incorporated in the coming days.

Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, who passed away on November 11, 2017 at the age of 82, was the first Muslim women MLA from South India.

Switch over to eyeglasses from contact lenses until corona subsides: Dr Bhujang Shetty

News Network

April 11,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 10: Renowned ophthalmologist and Narayana Nethralaya Chairman Dr K Bhujang Shetty today advised those wearing contact lenses to switch to eyeglasses as a preventive measure.

“Though the facial mask is mandatory as a preventive measure against the dreaded Coronavirus, not many know that the virus can also enter the body through eyes. Wearing glasses or spectacles reduces the spread of the virus,” Dr Bhujang Shetty said.

Although it is more likely that people may catch Coronavirus infections through mouth and nose, there are chances of the virus also entering through eyes. “In a day, humans tend to touch their face and eyes almost 20 times an hour knowingly or unknowingly. Users of contact lenses end up touching their eyes and face frequently, increasing the risk of infections. Therefore, it is advisable that they switch to eyeglasses until the situation improves”, according to a release here on Friday.
