Karwar, Mar 27: The Janata Dal (S) has announced its candidates for Uttara Kannada and Vijayapura Lok Sabha constituencies, which will go to the polls on April 23.

For Uttara Kannada, the JD(S) has chosen Anand Asnotikar, a former Bharatiya Janata Party leader who joined the party in January 2018 in the run-up to the Assembly elections.

Mr. Asnotikar was elected on Congress ticket in 2008 from Karwar, but resigned and joined the BJP. He became Minister for Fisheries in the BJP Cabinet of B.S. Yeddyurappa.

He won the subsequent polls from Karwar on BJP ticket, but lost in the 2013 Assembly polls.

Mr Asnotikar will take on union minister and BJP’s incumbent MP Anant Kumar Hegde.

In Vijayapura, the candidate is Sunita Devanand Chavan, wife of Nagthan MLA Devanand Phulsing Chavan. He had defeated the Congress’ Raju Alagur in the 2018 polls by a margin of 667 votes.

With the party struggling for a candidate in the constituency, only two names were making the rounds — those of Ms. Sunita Chavan and Ravi Chavan, brother of Mr. Devanand Chavan.

Bengaluru, May 26: Ministers of the central government or state governments or officers on their official duty, who are travelling across states, will be exempted from requirements of quarantine, the Karnataka government said on Monday.

The state government issued an addendum to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-state passengers.

"Any person who gets a negative COVID test certificate (from ICMR approved lab) which is not more than two days old from the date of journey will be exempted from the requirement of institutional quarantine," read the addendum.

The state government has laid down new norms for those coming from other states (including those coming by domestic air flights).

Passengers coming from 'high prevalence states' (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh) would be required to undergo a seven-day "institutional quarantine", which will be followed by home quarantine.

The new norms also said that home quarantine of 14 days would be necessary for the passengers coming from other states.
