Mangaluru, Jan 23: A delegation led by Mohammad Shareef Jokatte, president Indian Social Forum (ISF) Karnataka Eastern Province Saudi Arabia met Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil S on 23rd January 2019 at his office in the city. The delegation discussed various issues related to the potential rehabilitation programs that can be implemented for Non Resident Kannadigas (NRK) impacted by Gulf Country’s job market crisis.

ISF demanded swift intervention of Government of Karnataka in understanding the impact of the Gulf Job crisis on NRKs and provide suitable rehabilitation program for the affected Gulf return NRKs. Delegation further discussed about the recent promise made by District In-charge minister U T Khader about setting up the Help Desk at DC office, although no further action taken in implementing the promise.

Unlike neighbouring states Kerala and Telangana, Karnataka Government is completely unaware on the count of NRKs working in GCC and number of people impacted by the crisis.

Hence starting a registration center in at the Deputy Commissioner Office would be an ideal solution to maintain the data about Gulf returnee NRKs, delegation stressed during the discussion with Deputy Commissioner. Considering the contributions made by these Gulf NRKs to the state, appropriate rehabilitation measures will be implemented for the Gulf return NRKs, DC assured the delegation.

Indian Social Forum had earlier submitted a study report to Mr. Zameer Ahmed Minister of Minorities Welfare, Haj and Wakf Department, report was based on ground surveys, interviews and case studies conducted in Saudi Arabia and it also included set of recommendations to the Government for Gulf NRKs. Mr Shareef, Majeed, Ibrahim, Rasheed and Haneef were present in the Indian Social Forum delegation team.

Gokak, Jul 25: A JMFC magistrate here issued summons to the Chief minister B S Yediyurappa in relation to a complaint for the alleged violation of election code of conduct, during by-elections to the Gokak Assembly seat held last year.

According to official sources, a complaint had been registered against Chief minister B S Yediyurappa during the election campaign, under the People Representative Act, for allegedly wooing voters during electioneering.

The Gokak Police, who had investigated the case, however had submitted a 'B' report to the court letting off the Chief minister from the charges.

However the Magistrate, rejecting the Police report, had maintained that there exists prima facie case against the accused and issued summons to appear before the court on September one, the sources added.

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Health Minister B Sriramulu on Thursday assured the House that the state government will recruit doctors in all Primary Health Centres across the state through direct recruitment by the end of April this year.

The minister was answering MLA A T Ramaswamy, who raised the issue of shortage of doctors on Thursday. Sriramulu said there are 2,359 primary health centres in Karnataka, of which 1,432 centres have permanent doctors, 436 have doctors on contract basis, 236 have Ayush doctors, 55 have doctors who work under rural service, and the rest work on contract basis under the National Health Mission.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who had recently directed ministers to cancel KPSC recruitment and go for direct recruitment, expressed his anger  as it hasn’t been implemented even now. Sriramulu said, “I have directed the concerned District health officer to take action and go for direct recruitment. It will be done by end of April.”

He also said he is aware of the difference in salary between doctors working under the health department and those working under the medical education department. “This will also be rectified,’’ he assured.

Meanwhile, Sriramulu said that a hospital that he had inaugurated recently in Mysuru, has been shut due to the lack of doctors and furniture. “This will be sorted out soon,’’ he assured.
